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 following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
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. Black (B) is dominant to chocolate (b).Therefore, the possible genotypes and corresponding phenotypes are: Phenotype Possible Genotypes Black G__B__ Brown G__bb Yellow gg__ Predict the percentage of offspring that would be black in colour for each of the following crosses.

If body-color B is dominant to green body color b what would the genotype be for a heterozygous individual be? Using the blue B and a green b body color from above create a Punit square that represents the offspring of two heterozygous parents? what is the probability that they will have a child with a green body-color If the child is green what is its genotype? Cross a green parent with a homozygous blue parent. What color will their kids be?
In the Bombay phenotype, a homozygous recessive individual hh appears to have blood type O because she is unable to produce the H substance, which is required to make the A or B blood-type antigens. HH or Hh individuals normally produce H substance. What is the probability that a child will test as type AB blood from parents with the following genotypes? IAIO Hh X IBIA hh 3/16 1/8 1/4 3/4 1/2
Summer squash color is determined by the interaction of more than one gene. The presence of CC or Cc allele combinations produces a squash that is white in color, and the C allele is epistatic to the G allele. The presence of GG or Gg produces a squash that is yellow in color, and ccgg produces a squash that is green. After two fully heterozygous squash are crossed. Give the phenotypes, and frequency of occurrence, of the F2 offspring
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 beetles, an X-linked gene determines body size, with normal size (M)completely dominant to miniature body size (m). Body color is determined by an autosomal gene with two alleles, where B is incompletely dominant to b such that BB beetles are black, Bb beetles are brown and bb beetles are yellow. Male beetles are heterogametic (XY). The following cross is performed: brown, miniature sized body female X brown, normal sized body male Based on this information, which of the following statements is FALSE? Select 3 correct answer(s) Question 3 options: A) 1/8 of the female progeny will have yellow miniature bodies. B) All of the male progeny will have miniature bodies. C) 1/4 of the total progeny will be black. D) 1/4 of the male progeny will have yellow miniature bodies. E) All of the female progeny will have miniature bodies.…
The tiny blue-eyed Mary flower is often one of the first flowers seen in the spring in some regions of the United States. The flower is normally blue, but sometimes a white or pink flower variation is found. The following data were obtained after several crosses. A student claims that these flower colors are an inherited trait, and the F1 and F2 phenotypes of the flowers arising from the pink and white cross can best be explained by epistasis, where another gene product influences phenotype expression. This data supports this claim because in order to produce a __________ (pink, white, or blue) flower, a gene for a switch that 'turns on' the color gene would be recessive, meaning it has a mutation that causes it to be 'off'. In order to express a color, this switch needs to be in the dominant form. The color gene is a structural gene that has two variants: a dominant trait, ______ (pink, white, or blue) and a recessive _______ (pink, white, or blue) variety.
Among dogs, short hair is dominant to long hair and dark coat color is dominant to white (albino) coat color. Assume that these two coat traits are caused by independently segregating gene pairs. For each of the crosses given below, write the most probable genotype (or genotypes if more than one answer is possible) for the parents. It is important that you select a realistic symbol set and define each symbol below. Assume that for cross (d), you were interested in determining whether fur color follows a 3:1 ratio. Set up (but do not complete the calculations) a Chi-square test for these data [fur color in cross (d)].
A coat color of a horse is governed by many different gene pairs. Dominant B will give the horse a black color, and homozygous b will give the horse a chestnut color. However, when a dominant W is present in the second gene pair, the horse will be white no matter what. If the second gene pair has no dominant W, then the horse will be the color of whatever the first gene pair is made of. Give the coat color of the horse of the following genotypes. 1. bbww A. Chestnut B. Black C. White 2. BbWw A. White B. Black C. Chestnut 3. bbWw A. Chestnut B. White C. Black 4. Bbww A. Black B. Chestnut C. White 5. BBWW A. Chestnut B. Black C. White PLEASE ANSWER THE ALL, THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED. THANK YOU!
In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?
