Question
Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is homozygous dominant for gene C, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is heterozygous for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene I.
Inhibition is dominant to uninhibited, pigmented feathers are dominant to unpigmented feathers.
What is the probability of one of the offspring of these two chickens having white feathers? (percentage)

- Predict the probability (using a Punnett square) of producing an offspring affected by a single gene X-linked mutation given the genotype of the parents. Compare these crosses in two cases: where the mutant allele is “A” vs where the mutant allele is “a” (XAXA x XaY) (XAXa x XAY) (XAXa x XaY) (XaXa x XAY) (XaXa x XaY). Include gender in the phenotype.arrow_forwardFruit flies with the genotypes XghXgh and Xg+h+Y are crossed. Note that two X-linked loci are being evaluated, and the presence of a + indicates a dominant allele. The heterogametic offspring will... 1.all express a dominant g phenotype and recessive h phenotype. 2. all express both dominant phenotypes. 3. all express both recessive phenotypes. 4. all express a recessive g phenotype and a dominant h phenotype.arrow_forwardCats are hairless when homozygous recessive (hh) for the Hairless gene. Cats have straight hair when recessive for the curly gene (cc). The H gene determines whether hair can be produced, and the C gene determines whether the hair is curly. These genes work in an epistatic pathway, with H/h first, then C/c. You cross a straight-haired cat to a hairless cat with genotype CChh, and find that all of the F1 kittens have curly hair.arrow_forward
- In mice, coat color is due to the inheritance of three genes located on three different chromosomes. The A gene which determine if a yellow band is present on the hair ( A_= yellow band, aa= no yellow band ) and the B gene which determines if the hair is brown ( bb ) or Black ( B_). The A and B genes interact to produce the following coat colors: Agouti: A_B_ Cinnamon: A_bb black: aaB_ brown aabb The third gene is the C gene, which determines if the mice has any hair pigment at all. If the mouse has at least one C allele then the coat color will be determined by the A and B genes as described above. However, if the mouse is cc in genotype it will be albino, regardless of the mouse’s A and B genotype. 1.If a AabbCc mouse mates with a aaBbcc mouse, what is the probability that the mouse will be born brown?

Note that two X-linked loci are being evaluated, and the presence of a + indicates a dominant allele. The homogametic offspring will.... 1. express either the dominant or the recessive phenotypes for both g and h. 2. all express both dominant phenotypes. 3. express neither phenotype. 4. all express both recessive phenotypes.arrow_forwardCats are hairless when homozygous recessive (hh) for the Hairless gene. Cats have straight hair when recessive for the curly gene (cc). The H gene determines whether hair can be produced, and the C gene determines whether the hair is curly.

- Which of the following statements about calico cats is true? Select all that apply.arrow_forward#1b) An allele for coat color in mice, Y, produces a yellow coat color when present. The phenotypes of the F1 generation are shown. A cross between a Non-yellow mouse and yellow mouse produces half yellow and half non-yellow progeny (offsprings). Non-yellow happens to be white in this example, but it does not need to be; it can be black, grey, or some other mouse color. How does the F1 generation ratio differ from the expected mendelian ratios for a heterozygous, hybrid cross? * Yellow Non-yellow Pgeneration Yellow Yellow Meiosis Gametes 1/2 1/2 Fertilization Yellow Non-yellow F generation Non vellow Yellow Yellow Dead Support | Schoology Blog | PRIVACY POLICY | Terms of Usearrow_forwardWhat are Possible Dominance Relations in case of hypomorphic mutations?arrow_forward
