In classical Mendelian genetics, how can one check the genotype of a parent (A) expressing the characters of a dominant allele? Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.
In a population of rabbits, you find three differentcoat color phenotypes: chinchilla (C), himalaya (H),and albino (A). To understand the inheritance of coatcolors, you cross individual rabbits with each otherand note the results in the following table.Cross number Parental phenotypes Phenotypes of progeny1 H × H 3/4 H : 1/4 A2 H × A 1/2 H : 1/2 A3 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 H4 C × H all C5 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 A6 H × A all H7 C × A 1/2 C : 1/2 A8 A × A all A9 C × H 1/2 C : 1/2 H10 C × H 1/2 C : 1/4 H : 1/4 Aa.
