The presence of horns in cattle is controlled by a single gene. The hornless (H) condition is dominant over the horned (h) condition. A hornless cow was crossed repeatedly with the same horned bull. The following results were obtained with the F1 offspring: 8 hornless, 7 horned. What are the parents’ genotypes?

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?
A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a pea hen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut, 11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are the likely genotypes of the parents?
A rabbit with black fur (B) is crossed with a rabbit with white fur (b). All of the offspring have black fur. What is the genotype of the black rabbit parent?
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In mice, short hair is dominant over long hair. If a heterozygous shorthaired male is crossed with a heterozygous female, what are the genotypes of the parents?
A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rose hen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are the possible genotypes of the parents?
In dogs, wire-haired (H) is dominant to smooth-haired (h). In a cross of a homozygous wire-haired with a smooth-haired dog, what will be the phenotype of the F1 generation? What would be the genotype? What would be the ratio the wire-haired dogs in the F1 generation? What are the phenotypic and genotypic ratio?
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
Two plants, both heterozygous for the gene that controls flower color are crossed. What percentage of the offspring will have purple flowers? ______What percentage will have white flowers?
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
An individual with genotype AaBbCcDdEe is crossed to an individual with genotype AABbccDdEE. What is the probability their first offspring will have genotype AabbccDdEE?
When roan cattle are mated, 25% of the offspring are red, 50% are roan, and 25% are white. Upon examination, it can be seen that the coat of a roan cow consists of both red and white hairs. What were the original parental genotypes?
