In the clover butterfly, males are always yellow, but females can beyellow or white. In females, white is a dominant allele. Two yellow butterflies were crossed to yield an F1 generation consisting of50% yellow males, 25% yellow females, and 25% white females.Describe how this trait is inherited and specify the genotypes ofthe yellow parents.

You want to determine whether genes a and b are linked. What cross would you use and why? How would this cross tell you if they are linked?
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
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?
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.
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In horses, coat color comes in many varieties. If a brown horse is crossed with a white horse, the offspring are palominos (brown and white manes and tails). Name the type of inheritance. If a palomino horse is crossed with a white horse, what will the phenotype ratio of the F1 be?
In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest andtallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest andtallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the same?
In pea plants, the color yellow is dominant over the color green. If a homozygous yellow plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow plant, what percentage of the plants will be green?
When Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants, all the offspring were yellow-seeded. When he took these F1 yellow-seeded plants and crossed them to green-seeded plants, what genotypic ratio was expected? What is the name of this type of cross?
In guinea pigs, the gene for black coat color is dominant to the gene for white coat color. What will be the genotypic ratio for the cross between two heterozygous parents?
A cross was made between a white male dog and two different blackfemales. The first female gave birth to eight black pups, and the second female gave birth to four white and three black pups. What arethe likely genotypes of the male parent and the two female parents?Explain whether you are uncertain about any of the genotypes
. A black mare was crossed to a chestnut stallion andproduced a bay son and a bay daughter. The two offspring were mated to each other several times, andthey produced offspring of four different coat colors:black, bay, chestnut, and liver. Crossing a liver grandson back to the black mare gave a black foal,and crossing a liver granddaughter back to the chestnut stallion gave a chestnut foal. Explain how coatcolor is being inherited in these horses.
