The MN blood group in humans is characterized by the antigen glycoprotein found at the surface of blood cells. The Allele LM codes for the blood type that produces M antigen while LN codes for N antigen. A cross between two contrasting purebreds resulted in an offspring exhibiting both antigens. If the F1 offspring were crossed with each other, what will the genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation be?

Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
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 the dihybrid cross AaBb ´ aabb, what proportion of individuals are expected to be homozygotic for both genes in the F1generation? sume that in guinea pigs, dark brown fur (B) is dominant to black fur (b). If you mate a homozygous black guinea pig with a heterozygous brown guinea pig, what proportion of the progeny will be black?
Assuming a typical monohybrid cross in which one allele is completely dominant to the other, what ratio is expected if the F1's are crossed?
In a dihybrid cross of two bi-allelic Mendelian genes, A (two alleles – completely dominant A and recessive a), and B (two alleles – completely dominant B and recessive b), such that the parental generation comprises of pure-bred homozygotes (i.e. AABB with aabb), what are the expected genotype and phenotype ratios in the F1 and F2, if the F1 cross is (a) an intercross and if the F1 cross is (b) a testcross

The Labrador Retriever’s coat colours are black, yellow, and chocolate.Yellow is produced by the presence of a recessive epistatic gene, which has the effect of masking the black and chocolate colour genes. Black (B) is dominant to chocolate (b).Therefore, the possible genotypes and corresponding phenotypes are: Phenotype Possible Genotypes Black G__B__ Brown G__bb Yellow gg__ Predict the percentage of offspring that would be black in colour for each of the following crosses.
