Task # 4 Genotypes and Phenotypes: The Mc1r gene is located on chromosome #16 in mice. Mice are diploid so every somatic cell has two copies of the Mc1r gene. Since there are two Mc1r alleles there are three possible genotypes: MM, Mm and mm. M-dark pigment m=less pigment Parental generation: an inland mouse (MM) mates with a beach mouse (mm) A. What is the genotype of the F1 offspring? B. If this trait exhibits simple (Mendelian) dominance, circle the phenotype expected for the F1 fur color: dark pigment / medium pigment / less pigment Observed phenotype: F1 actually have medium pigment. Initially this looks like blending, but it is not. M and m are discrete units. This observation does not disprove Mendel's First Law which holds true for the genotypes. Individuals with genotype Mm produce more pigment than individuals with genotype mm and less than individuals with genotype MM. and show the gametes and offspring C. Write the F1 x F1 cross in a Punnett square below. X

ACTIVITY 5: Sex-linked inheritance In many animals, the sex of an individual is determined by which sex chromosomes (X or Y) are inherited. In mammals (and the fruit fly Drosophila), females have 2 X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y. The X and Y are an unusual pair of homologous chromosomes. The X is large and contains thousands of genes, while the Y is small and contains few genes. Most genes on the X are not found on the Y, so males possess only one copy of each X-linked gene and females have 2 copies. This means that X-linked recessive traits are expressed more often in males. Eye color is a sex-linked trait in Drosophila. The allele for red eyes is dominant to the allele for white eyes. Because this gene is on the X chromosome, the alleles are written as XR and Xr. A. Do a Punnett square for a cross between a homozygous red-eyed female (XR XR ) and a white-eyed male (Xr Y). What would be the genotypes of the female…
