In bears fur colour can be either yellow or tan, and is determined by two alleles of the C gene. A heterozygous bear is observed to present a fur pattern of yellow and tan patches. Explain why this can occur.

Both Duchenne muscular dystrophy and color blindness are caused by recessive alleles. DMD, unlike color blindness, nearly always occurs in males. Explain why.
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
In guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant. If all the guinea pigs are born short haired what are the possible genotypes of the parents? (There are two possible combinations.) Show the answers with punnett square
The B allele confers black coat color and the b allele brown coat color in Labrador dogs. When another gene, E, is inherited, the coat is golden no matter what the B phenotype is. A dog of genotype ee expresses the black phenotype. What unusual phenomenon is at work in this disorder?
Assume that black fur is dominant to white fur for cats. When a black cat of an unknown genotype presents itself to you, in order to determine its genotype, you should cross with. a ______ cat, this is because ________.
In guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant. What genotype would a heterozygous short haired guinea pig have? What genotype would a purebred short haired guinea pig have? What genotype would a long haired guinea pig have?
In cattle, coat color is inherited in a co-dominant fashion. Homozygous C R C R produces red coat,homozygous C W C W produces white coat, and the heterozygous C R C W produces roan-colored coat.What is the probability of having a roan-coated offspring in a cross between a white-coated cattle anda roan-coated cattle?
In guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant.What genotype would a heterozygous short-haired guinea pig have? _____What genotype would a pure-breeding short-haired guinea pig have? _____What genotype would a long-haired guinea pig have? _____
Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
