In horses the autosomal gene for colour in the coat gives chestnut colour only when homozygous recessive. What coat colour horses would result from a controlled mating cross between two albino white horses if the female has Aa genotype and the male has Aa genotype? Chestnut coat colour horses only Mules Albino coat colour horses only Albino coat colour horses and chestnut coat colour horses Mostly zebra-striped horses All albino horses with chestnut spots on their coats Dead horses

A woman who is heterozygous, Bb, has brown eyes; B (brown) isthe dominant allele, and b (blue) is recessive. One of her eyes,however, has a patch of blue color. Give three different explanationsfor how this might have occurred?
Manx cats have no tail. This is caused by a dominantmutation M, which is embryo lethal when homozygous. An unlinked gene B controls the color of the fur onthe cat's tail. The dominant B allele produces black fur on tails, while the recessive allele b produceswhite fur on tails. A Manx cat that is B/B is crossed to a white-tailed cat. Half of the F1 progeny hadthe Manx phenotype and the other half had normal, black tails.The F1 cats with the Manx phenotype were crossed to each other, producing F2 cats. What is the ratioof the following phenotypes in the F2
A man has attached earlobes, whereas his wife has freeearlobes. Their first child, a boy, has attached earlobes.a. If the phenotypic difference is assumed to be due totwo alleles of a single gene, is it possible that the geneis X linked?b. Is it possible to decide if attached earlobes aredominant or recessive?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disorder caused by a rare,loss-of-function allele that is located on the X chromosome in humans. Anunaffected woman (i.e., without disease symptoms) who is heterozygousfor the X-linked allele causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy has childrenwith a man with a functional (non-disease-causing) allele. What is theprobability that this couple will have an unaffected son?
Mexican hairless dogs have little hair and few teeth. When aMexican hairless is mated to another breed of dog, about half ofthe puppies are hairless. When two Mexican hairless dogs aremated to each other, about 1/3 of the surviving puppies have hairand about 2/3 of the surviving puppies are hairless. However,about two out of eight puppies from this type of cross are borngrossly deformed and do not survive. Explain this pattern ofinheritance.
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
In humans, color vision depends on genes encodingthree pigments. The R (red pigment) and G (green pigment) genes are close together on the X chromosome,whereas the B (blue pigment) gene is autosomal. A recessive mutation in any one of these genes can cause colorblindness. Suppose that a color-blind man married awoman with normal color vision. The four sons from thismarriage were color-blind, and the five daughters werenormal. Specify the most likely genotypes of both parents and their children, explaining your reasoning. (Apedigree drawing will probably be helpful.) (Problem 50is by Rosemary Redfield.)
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
. Mice normally have one yellow band on each hair, butvariants with two or three bands are known. A femalemouse having one band was crossed with a male havingthree bands. (Neither animal was from a pure line.) Theprogeny wereFemales 12 one band Males 12 one band12 three bands 12 two bandsa. Provide a clear explanation of the inheritance of thesephenotypes.b. In accord with your model, what would be theoutcome of a cross between a three-banded daughterand a one-banded son?
In sheep, the formation of horns is a sex-influenced trait; the allelethat results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females.Females must be homozygous for the horned allele to have horns.A horned ram was crossed to a polled (unhorned) ewe, and the firstoffspring they produced was a horned ewe. What are the genotypesof the parents?
Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous forthe recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation).Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele makebrown pigment, while those with at least one copy ofB make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbitswere crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the doublerecessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.a. What phenotypic proportions would have beenexpected if the b and c loci were unlinked?b. How far apart are the two loci?
In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominantallele (coats are normally brownish). If a dwarf femalefrom a pure line is crossed with a pink male from a pureline, what will be the phenotypic ratios in the F1 and F2 ineach sex? (Invent and define your own gene symbols.)
