In rats, black fur color is dominant to white fur color, and pointy ears are dominant to round ears. You cross a homozygous black, pointy eared rat to a homozygous white, round eared rat. You then Cross one of the F1 offspring to a homozygous white, round eared rat, and obtain the following progeny: 88 black, pointy eared rats; 92 white, round eared rats; 76 black, round eared rats; 81 white, pointy eared rats. Perform a chi-square test of independence to determine if the genes for fur color and ear shape are linked, or assort independently. Show all of your work.

n rats, black fur color is dominant to white fur color, and pointy ears are dominant to round ears. You cross a homozygous black, pointy eared rat to a homozygous white, round eared rat. You then Cross one of the F1 offspring to a homozygous white, round eared rat, and obtain the following progeny: 88 black, pointy eared rats; 92 white, round eared rats; 76 black, round eared rats; 81 white, pointy eared rats. Please perform a chi-square test of independence to determine if the genes for fur color and ear shape are linked, or assort independently.
In rabbits, the coat color black dominant (B) over brown (b). Short hair is dominant (S) over long (s). In a cross between a homozygous black short-haired male and a brown homozygous long-haired female, what would be the ratios for genotype and phenotype of the F1 generation?
In chickens, the Leghorn variety has white feathers due to an autosomal dominant allele. Silkies have white feathers due to a recessive allele in a second (different) gene. If a true-breeding whiteLeghorn is crossed to a true-breeding white Silkie, what is theexpected phenotype of the F1 generation? If members of the F1generation are mated to each other, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation? Assume the chickens in the parental generation are homozygous for the white allele at one gene andhomozygous for the brown allele at the other gene. In subsequentgenerations, nonwhite birds will be brown.
A female salamander with black eyes is crossed to a male yellow salamanderwith red eyes- All of the F1 progeny are green with black eyes. If two F1 salamandersare intercrossed what are the expected phenotypes in the F2? green with black eyes, green with red eyes, yellow with black eyes and yellow with red eyes green with black eyes and green with red eyes green with black eyes and yellow with red eyes green with black eyes
What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygous pea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratios would be seen in the F2 progeny?
In the dihybrid cross AaBb ´ aabb, what proportion of individuals are expected to be homozygotic for both genes in the F1generation? Assume that in guinea pigs, dark brown fur (B) is dominant to black fur (b). If you mate a homozygous black guinea pig with a heterozygous brown guinea pig, what proportion of the progeny will be black? Assume that in guinea pigs, dark brown fur (B) is dominant to black fur (b). If you mate a black guinea pig with a homozygous brown guinea pig, what proportion of the progeny will be homozygous?
The long hair of Persian cats is recessive to the short hair of Siamese cats, but the black coat color of Persians is dominant to the brown-and-tan coat color of Siamese. Make up appropriate symbols for the alleles of these two unlinked loci. If a pure black, long-haired Persian is mated to a pure brown-and-tan, short-haired Siamese, what will be the appearance of the F1 offspring? If two of these F1 cats are mated, what is the chance that a long-haired, brown-andtan cat will be produced in the F2 generation? (Use the shortcut probability method to obtain your answer; then check it with a Punnett square.)

If a pure black, long-haired Persian is mated to a pure brown-and-tan, short-haired Siamese, what will be the appearance of the F1 offspring?

If a pure-breeding purple-flowered pea plant is crossed with a pure-breeding white-flowered pea plant, all the offspring have purple flowers. Suppose two F1 plants are crossed, and 1200 offspring are obtained. How many white-flowered plants will you expect?
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. Give the genotypic ratio. __________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________
