In humans, suppose that the allele for free-hanging earlobes, E, is dominant over the allele for attached earlobes, e. Additionally, suppose that the allele for no cheek dimples, D, is dominant over the allele for cheek dimples, d. A dihybrid cross between two individuals who are heterozygous for both traits is performed. A. What is the probability that their offspring will have the genotype EEDd? B. What is the probability that their offspring will display at least one dominant trait?

In the shorthorn breed of cattle, The red and white coat colors are codominant with each other with the resulting hit rosagas condition being roan. A breeder has some white, some Roan, and some red cattle (female) And only one round bull (male). A. What color cow would be bread to the ro bowl to guarantee the best chance of having white offspring? B. What is the probability of a red cow cross with the Roan bull resulting in a white half? explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes. C. What is one possible way that the farmer can guarantee having over red offspring by going outside of his breeding stock? Explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes.
Imagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Suppose, that the A allele exhibited incomplete dominance over the a allele and the T allele exhibited incomplete dominance over the t allele. In that instance, how many different phenotypes would be possible among the offspring of this same couple?
In rabbits, the gene for fur color is multiallelic. Agouti (C) is dominant to chinchilla (Cch), chinchillas is dominant to himalaya (Ch), and himalaya is dominant to albino (c). Determine the genotypes of each corresponding phenotypes. Please show the solution.
Given a cross between these two parents: BbCcDDEEFfGgHhjj x BbCcddEeFfGgHHjj where traits B, E, H, J exhibit Mendelian inheritance; C, and F exhibit incomplete dominance; D, and G exhibit co-dominance answer the following: How many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
In roan bulls, alleles for both red and white hair are codominant (BRBW). What is the percentage of genotype and phenotype if a roan cattle is bred to, (a) a homozygous red cow (BRBR), (b) a heterozygous white cow (BWBw).
A cross between a black-furred male dog and a white-furred female dog could produce offspring with a black-and-white coat. This means that the color coat traits of the parents are codominant as both were expressed together. Show a cross between a Black-white furred dog and a homozygous white dog. Indicate the genotypes of both parents and the possible outcome in percentage.
The A & B antigens in humans may be found in water-soluble forms in secretions, including saliva of individuals with the genotypes E/E& E/e, but not individuals with the genotype e/e. Thus, the population contains ‘secretors’ & ‘nonsecretors’. A cross was performed between 2 heterozygous secretors, one with type O blood and the second with type AB blood. What phenotypic ratios are expected in their offspring? A) 1/4 type A : 1/4 type B : 1/2 non-secretor B) 3/8 type A : 3/8 type B : 2/8 non-secretor C) 1/2 type A : 1/2 type B D) 3/4 type AB : 1/4 non-secretor
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder caused by a recessive allele. Two carrier individuals have progeny. Answer the following questions in order and show solutions whenever relevant. a. Indicate the gene notation.b. Derive the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.c. If they have a normal child, what is the probability that he or she will be heterozygous?d. If they have three children, what is the probability of having 2 affected children and one normalchild?
Theoretically, what is the expected result from the parental cross of a grey mouse and an albino mouse, and why does the expected result not match the result stated in the information given above? Select one: a. Theoretically, there should be a 3:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 29 grey coat mice and 9 albino mice. With more litters, the actual results would match the expected results more closely. b. Theoretically, 100% of the mice should have grey coats so all 38 offspring should have grey coats. There was an experimental error that can account for the deviation. c. Theoretically, there should be a 3:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 28.5 grey coat mice and 9.5 albino mice. There was an experimental error that can account for the deviation. d. Theoretically, there should be a 1:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 19 grey coat mice and 19 albino mice. With more litters, the actual results would match the expected results more closely.
In pigs, an allele that produces a white belt around the animal’s body (W) is dominant over its allele for a uniformly colored body (w). The dominant allele of another gene (F) produces fusion of the two hoofs on each foot. Suppose a uniformly-colored sow homozygous for fused hoofs is mated with a normal-footed boar heterozygous for the belted character. (a) What are the genotypes of the parents? (b) What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 offspring? (c) If the two resulting genotypes of the F1 are allowed to interbreed, what are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the F2?

What blood type(s) would you expect to see in their offspring? What if the second was instead “Type O”? Cross two individuals who both have Type AB blood. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in their offspring? PTC paper placed in your mouth can determine if you are a “taster” or a “non-taster”? Let's assume that you are a "taster". What possible genotypes could produce your phenotype? If you produced children with a "non-taster", what genotypic and phenotypic ratios would be expected in your offspring?
