In British cattle, those with long legs are called Kerry and others with extremely shortened legs are called Dexter. When Kerry cattle are crossed, their progeny have only the Kerry phenotype. When Dexter cattle are crossed with Kerry cattle, they produce Kerry and Dexter phenotypes in a 1:1 ratio. When Dexter are crossed with Dexter, 1/4 of the offspring are Kerry, 2/4 are Dexter, and 1/4 are born dead with very short legs and nose (bulldog phenotype). Interpret the genetics of the Kerry and Dexter phenotypes

The petals of the plant Collinsia parviflora are normally blue, giving the species its common name, blue-eyed Mary. Two pure-breeding lines were obtained from color variants found in nature; the first line had pink petals, and the second line had white petals. The following crosses were made between pure lines, with the results shown: Parents F1 F2 blue × white blue 101 blue, 33 white blue × pink blue 192 blue, 63 pink pink × white blue 272 blue, 121 white, 89 pink a. Explain these results genetically. Define the allele symbols that you use, and show the genetic constitution of the parents, the F1, and the F2 in each cross. b. A cross between a certain blue F2 plant and a certain white F2 plant gave progeny of which 3 8 were blue, 1 8 were pink, and 1 2 were white. What must the genotypes of these two F2 plants have been?

In rabbits, the dominant allele B causes black fur and the recessive allele b causes brown fur; for an independently assorting gene, the dominant allele R causes long fur and the recessive allele r causes short fur.

In the F2, what proportion of the rabbits with long, black fur will be homozygous for both genes? Show drawings and solution.
