In parrots, annoying voices (A) are dominant to pleasant ones (a) and brightly colored feathers (B) are dominant to gray ones (b). You testcross a heterozygous annoying, brightly colored parrot and get 27 annoying, gray birds, 2 annoying bright birds, 30 pleasant bright birds, and 5 pleasant gray birds. What is the configuration of the two dominant parental alleles?

In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).
In rabbits, black color (B) is dominant to brown (b), while fullcolor (C) is dominant to chinchilla (c ch). The genes controllingthese traits are linked. Rabbits that are heterozygous for bothtraits and express black, full color are crossed to rabbits thatexpress brown, chinchilla with the following results:31 brown, chinchilla 34 black, full16 brown, full 19 black, chinchillaDetermine the arrangement of alleles in the heterozygousparents and the map distance between the two genes.
Hypothetically the yellow color of a lovebird is a dominant allele (Y). The male lovebird is orange, the mother lovebird is yellow, and their first offspring is orange. What is the probability that the first offspring will be orange again?
In rabbits, black hair is dependent on a dominant allele B, and brown upon arecessive allele b. Short-hair is due to dominant allele S and long hair to arecessive allele s. If a true-breeding black short haired male is mated with abrown, long-haired female, what will their offspring look like? What will be the genotypes of the offspring?
. In cats, white patches are caused by the dominant allele P, while pp individuals are solid-colored. Shorthair is caused by a dominant allele S, while ss catshave long hair. A long-haired cat with patcheswhose mother was solid-colored and short-hairedmates with a short-haired, solid-colored cat whosemother was long-haired and solid-colored. Whatkinds of kittens can arise from this mating, and inwhat proportions?
In a species of dog, plaid color is represented by P and purple by p, short -tailed is T and long-tailed is t. What are the genotypes of a male who is purple with a long tail, and a female who is homozygous dominant for both traits? Which answer below is true? PpTT & PPTT pptt & PPTT short-tailed purple & long tailed plaid male: purple w/ long tail & female: plaid w/ short tail
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. (d) Did segregation of alleles occur? (e) Did independent assortment of alleles occur? (f) Explain your answers. (g) Which of Mendel’s Laws are demonstrated by this example?
in guinea pigs, rough coat dominant (r) to smooth coat (r) and black coat (b) is dominant to white caot (b). a rough black guinea pig bred with a rough white one produces 29 rough black offspring, 31 rough white offspring, 11 smooth black and 9 smooth white. give genotypes of parents, the probability for the offspring, and the actual number of each kinda offspring you would expect.
Color blindness in humans is an X-linked recessive trait. Approximately10% of the men in a particular population are color blind.a. If mating is random with respect to the color-blindness locus, what isthe frequency of the color-blindness allele in this population?b. What proportion of the women in this population are expected to becolor blind?c. What proportion of the women in this population are expected to beheterozygous carriers of the color-blindness allele?
Among Native Americans, two types of earwax (cerumen) are seen, dry and sticky. A geneticist studied theinheritance of this trait by observing the types of offspring produced by different kinds of matings. Heobserved the following numbers:OffspringParents Number of mating pairs Sticky DrySticky × sticky 10 32 6Sticky × dry 8 21 9Dry × dry 12 0 42a. How is earwax type inherited?b.
