In mice, an allele for apricot eyes (a) is recessive to an allele for brown eyes (a+). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for tan coat color (t) is recessive to an allele for black coat color (t+). A mouse that is homozygous for brown eyes and black coat color is crossed with a mouse having apricot eyes and a tan coat. The resulting F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. In a litter of eight F2 mice, what is the probability that two will have apricot eyes and tan coats?

In the California poppy, an allele for yellow flowers (C) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (c). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (F) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (f). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that has white and fringed petals. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that has white and fringed petals, and thefollowing progeny are produced: 54 yellow and entire; 58 yellow and fringed; 53 white and entire; and 10 white and fringed. Q. Use a chi-square test to compare the observed numbers of progeny having each phenotype with those expected for the cross
In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype If you carried out this test cross, what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation?
In pea plants, seed shape and seed color are controlled by genes located on different chromosomes. Seeds may be round (R) or wrinkled (r), with the allele for round seeds being dominant. Alleles for seed color are yellow and green, with the green allele (y) recessive to the yellow (Y) allele. If you cross an individual that is homozygous round and yellow with an individual that is homozygous for wrinkled and green, what is the genotype of the F1 individuals? Set up a Punnett square for the dihybrid cross.

When a white guinea pig is crossed to a yellow guinea pig, all the progeny are cream-colored. From a cross of two such F1’s, the F2 showed 32 white, 66 cream, and 30 yellow guinea pigs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the white guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the yellow guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the cream-colored guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes of the F2 progeny.

In guinea pigs, rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth coat (r). If a homozygous rough-coated animal is crossed with a smooth-coated one: What will be the phenotype(s) of the F1 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the F2 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring resulting from a cross of an F1 individual back to its rough parent? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring of a cross of an F1 individual back to its smooth parent?
In cultivated flowers called “stocks,” the recessive genotype of one locus (aa) prevents the development of pigment in the flower thus producing a white color. In the presence of the dominant allele A, alleles at another locus may be expressed as follows: B_ = red. bb = cream. a) When cream stocks of the genotype Aabb are crossed to red stocks of the genotype AaBb, what genotypic and phenotypic proportions are expected in the progeny? b) When dihybrid red stocks are crossed together, what phenotypic ratio is expected among the progeny? c) If red stocks crossed to white stocks produced progeny with red, cream and white flowers, what are the genotypes of the parents? Show the results of the cross based on your answer.
In mice, the presence of AA alleles give rise to the agouti fur color, AAY gives rise to a yellow fur color, and AYAY is lethal, causing mice to die before birth. The B allele results in pigment formation and is dominant over the b allele. The bb genotype results in no pigment formation and gives an albino fur color irrespectively of the presence of the AA or AAY alleles. In the following cross between a yellow and agouti mice, what would be the expected proportion of agouti fur mice among the live offspring? AAY Bb X AA Bb 1/2 1/4 3/8 1/3 3/4
The Labrador Retriever’s coat colours are black, yellow, and chocolate.Yellow is produced by the presence of a recessive epistatic gene, which has the effect of masking the black and chocolate colour genes.

In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). Show punnet squares In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype? If you carried out this test cross (from 2, using the F1 from 1), what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation of the cross in point 1?
Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Mouse Coat Phenotype and Genotype Correlation Agouti coat AA, Aa Solid gray/black coat aa Pigment production CC, Cc Albinism cc Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question.

In Drosophila, white eyes (w) are recessive to red eyes (w+) at one locus and black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b+). A homozygous white eyes, gray bodied female is crossed with a homozygous red eyes, black bodied male to produce the F1 progeny. The F1 progeny are testcrossed and produce the following progeny: White eyes, black body: 212 White eyes, gray body: 288 Red eyes, black body: 308 Red eyes, gray body: 192 Does the evidence indicate that w and b loci are linked? Explain why or why not? If they are linked, what is the map distance between the two loci? If they are not linked, what is the map distance between the two loci? If they are linked, are the allels in the F1 in coupling or repulsion? How do you know? Draw the genotypes of all individuals described in the problem (original parents, F1, testcross, and F2 progeny) using the appropriate notation.
