The "Boutu" is a French imaginary animal, which has many strange characteristics. In this problem we will consider the following as true: the "Boutu" is diploid and its genetics obeys the rules of Mendel. Assume that the two genes involved assort independently. PART A) Two " Boutu" from two pure breeding lines are crossed. A "Boutu" female with green coat and straight tail is crossed to a male with black coat and curly tail. All the "Boutu" offsprings fall within one phenotypic class: green coat and curly tail. Blank 1- For each trait indicates which allele is recessive and which one is dominant. PART B) The reciprocal cross from A) is performed. Blank 2- Indicate the phenotype of each parents in the reciprocal cross. The F1 progeny of the reciprocal cross falls into the following phenotypic classes: all the females have green coat and curly tail; all the males have black coat and curly tail. Blank 3-How do you interpret the different outcome for the reciprocal cross? i.e. which genetic pattern explains the progeny of the reciprocal cross. Blank 4-Using A and a for the two alleles of coat color and B and b for the two alleles of tail shape, write the genotypes of the parents in the reciprocal cross. Be careful, use correct notation. Remember that they are true breeding.

The "Boutu" is a French imaginary animal, which has many strange characteristics. In
this problem we will consider the following as true: the "Boutu" is diploid and its
genetics obeys the rules of Mendel. Assume that the two genes involved assort
independently.
PART A) Two “ Boutu" from two pure breeding lines are crossed. A "Boutu" female
with green coat and straight tail is crossed to a male with black coat and curly tail. All
the "Boutu" offsprings fall within one phenotypic class: green coat and curly tail. Blank
1- For each trait indicates which allele is recessive and which one is dominant.
PART B) The reciprocal cross from A) is performed. Blank 2- Indicate the phenotype
of each parents in the reciprocal cross.
The F1 progeny of the reciprocal cross falls into the following phenotypic classes: all
the females have green coat and curly tail; all the males have black coat and curly
tail. Blank 3-How do you interpret the different outcome for the reciprocal cross? i.e.
which genetic pattern explains the progeny of the reciprocal cross.
Blank 4-Using A and a for the two alleles of coat color and B and b for the two alleles
of tail shape, write the genotypes of the parents in the reciprocal cross. Be careful,
use correct notation. Remember that they are true breeding.
