If two heterozygous dogs were crossed to each other, whatwould be the probability of the following combinations of offspring?A. A litter of five pups, four with solid fur and one with spotted fur.B. A first litter of six pups, four with solid fur and two with spotted fur, and then a second litter of five pups, all with solid fur.C. A first litter of five pups, the firstborn with solid fur, and thenamong the next four, three with solid fur and one with spottedfur, and then a second litter of seven pups in which the firstborn is spotted, the second born is spotted, and the remainingfive are composed of four solid and one spotted animal.D. A litter of six pups, the firstborn with solid fur, the second bornspotted, and among the remaining four pups, two with spottedfur and two with solid fur
Holstein cattle suffer from the condition citrullinemia, in which homozygous recessive calves die within a week of birth because they cannot break down ammonia that is produced when amino acids are metabolized. If a cow that is heterozygous for the citrullinemia gene is inseminated by a bull that is homozygous dominant, what is the probability that a calf inherits citrullinemia?
Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
The long hair of Persian cats is recessive to the short hair of Siamese cats, but the black coat colour of Persians is dominant to the black-and-tan coat of the Siamese. a) If a true-breeding black long-haired Persian is mated with a true-breeding black-and-tan short-haired Siamese, what are the predicted phenotypes of the cats in the F1 generation? b) If two of the F1 generation cats are then mated, what is the chance of obtaining a long-haired black-and-tan cat in the F2 generation?

. In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, so heterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios of flower colors would you expect among the offspring of the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white × pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white, and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would be most efficient?
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
Let us suppose that two long-winged flies were crossed and that 77 long-winged and 24 short-winged specimens were counted in the offspring. a. Will the short-winged character be dominant or recessive?B. What will the genotypes of the parents be?C. What is the observed genotype ratio?
In humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?
In jellyfish, let's say that long tentacles are produced by a sex-influenced allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. Let B1 = long and B2 = short. Which of the following correctly diagrams a cross between a female with long tentacles and a male with short tentacles? O B1B1XX X B1B2XY O B1B2 XX X B1B2 XY O females with long tentacles do not exist, so this cross is impossible O B1B1 XX X B2B2 XY O X(B1) X(B2) x X(B2) Y
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. What can you conclude about the inheritance ofcoat color in this population of rabbits?b. Ascribe genotypes to the parents in each of the10 crosses.c. What kinds of progeny would you expect, and inwhat proportions, if you crossed the chinchilla parents in crosses 9 and 10?
In peas, purple flowers are dominant to white. If a purple-flowered, heterozygous plant were crossed with a white-flowered plant, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F1F1offspring? If two of the purple-flowered F1F1 offspring were randomly selected and crossed, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F2F2 offspring?
In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
