In rural northeast Kansas domesticated cats are becoming wild, and plogists are observing that wildcats occur in three colors. Fur color is ntrolled by a single gene that exhibits incomplete dominance. A mozygous dominant cat is blue (BB), a homozygous recessive cat is ), and a heterozygous wildcat will be purple (Bb). What would be th pected phenotypes of the offspring if a blue wildcat mates with a red Idcat? Develop a Punnett square and list the genotypes as well.

1. In a particular bird species, the tips of the feathers are tinged with blue, white, or silver. The BB genotype calls for blue-tipped feathers. The WW genotype calls for white-tipped feathers. The BW genotype calls for an intermediate with silver-tipped feathers. A mating occurs between a blue-tipped bird and a white-tipped bird. What types of offspring would be expected? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring and the probability of each. 2. The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each. 3. In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. When a cat with a…

1. Honeybee workers undergo a resistant behavioral pattern called hygienic behavior. Susceptible worker genotypes failed to remove the diseased larvae, so that the disease spread easily throughout the honeybee colony. a) When inbred lines of resistant genotypes were crossed with inbred lines of susceptible genotypes, the F1 worker bees showed unhygienic behavior.Is hygienic behavior dominant or recessive in these bees? Why?

A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
How many different offspring genotypes are expected in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits when the traits behave in a dominant and recessive pattern? How many phenotypes? 64 genotypes: 16 phenotypes 16 genotypes; 64 phenotypes 8 genotypes; 27 phenotypes 27 genotypes; 8 phenotypes
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
A farmer raises black and white chickens. To his surprise, when the first generation of eggs hatch all the chickens are black with white speckles throughout their feathers. What should the farmer expect when the eggs laid after interbreeding the speckled chickens hatch? All the offspring will be speckled 75% of the offspring will be speckled, and 25% will be black 50% of the offspring will be speckled, 25% will be black, and 25% will be white 50% of the offspring will be black and 50% of the offspring will be white.
Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds
1) By convention, the recessive trait will determine the abbreviation used to track crosses if it is a mutant condition, since it stands out in contrast to the rest of the population. For example, if pea pods are typically green in color, a mutant condition might result in yellow pea pods; therefore, the lowercase letter ‘y’ would be used to depict the mutant state, yellow, while uppercase ‘Y’ would depict the wildtype (wt) condition, green. Remember that the mutant condition is not necessarily always recessive. 1 A) . If green is dominant wt (Y) and yellow is a recessive mutant condition (y), depict a Yy father mated with a YY mother in the Punnett. 1B) Considering the dominant allele, what colors are the parents in the cross above? Yy = _____________________ YY = _____________________ 1C) What colors are the offspring in the cross above? 1D) What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? 1E) What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? (Remember, the genotypic ratio is based…
