Cats are hairless when homozygous recessive (hh) for the Hairless gene. Cats have straight hair when recessive for the curly gene (cc). The H gene determines whether haircan be produced, and the C gene determines whether the hair is curly. These genes work in an epistatic pathway, with H/h first, then C/c. You cross a straight-haired cat to ahairless cat with genotype CChh, and find that all of the F1 kittens have curly hair.

Honeybees are unusual in that male bees (drones) have only onecopy of each gene, but female bees have two copies of their genes.This difference arises because drones develop from eggs that havenot been fertilized by sperm cells. In bees, the trait of long wingsis dominant over short wings, and the trait of black eyes is dominant over white eyes. If a drone with short wings and black eyeswas mated to a queen bee that is heterozygous for both genes, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of male and femaleoffspring? What are the phenotypic ratios if we assume an equalnumber of male and female offspring?
In a mammal, there are two; unlinked genes that determine tail length and curliness. The dominant L gene encodes long tails and the recessive l, short tails. For animals that have long tails, the C gene determines curliness, with the dominant C allele giving curly tails, while the c allele results in straight tails. Short tails are too short to curl. In a cross LlCc x LlCc, (Long, Curly tails) the tails of the progeny will appear in what phenotypic ratio? A. 9 Long & Curly: 3: Short & Straight 4 Long & Straight B. 9 Long & Curly: 3 Long & Straight: 3 Short & Straight: 1 Short & Curly C. 9 Long & Curly: 3 Long & Straight: 4 Short & Straight D. 9 Long & Curly: 6 Long & Straight: 1 Short & Curly
A coat color of a horse is governed by many different gene pairs. Dominant B will give the horse a black color, and homozygous b will give the horse a chestnut color. However, when a dominant W is present in the second gene pair, the horse will be white no matter what. If the second gene pair has no dominant W, then the horse will be the color of whatever the first gene pair is made of. Give the coat color of the horse of the following genotypes. 1. bbww A. Chestnut B. Black C. White 2. BbWw A. White B. Black C. Chestnut 3. bbWw A. Chestnut B. White C. Black 4. Bbww A. Black B. Chestnut C. White 5. BBWW A. Chestnut B. Black C.

In humans, the genes for colorblindness and hemophilia are both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. If the man dies and the woman remarries a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children that could be expected from the second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could be expected.
Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Mouse Coat Phenotype and Genotype Correlation Agouti coat AA, Aa Solid gray/black coat aa Pigment production CC, Cc Albinism cc Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question.

You are looking at the color of feathers in ducks and find that yellow ducks (Y) are dominant to green ducks (y). However, a second gene, H, controls whether the color will be expressed in the feathers. If the duck is hh, the duck will always be white, because the pigment does not go into feathers. What ratio of phenotypes would you expect following a dihybrid cross? A) 9:6:1 B) 9:3:4 C) 13:3 D) 15:1 E) 12:3:1
Andalusian chickens may be either black, white, or gray. The gene for black is not dominant over the gene for white, nor is the gene for white dominant over the gene for black. When a black rooster is mated to a white hen, all gray chicks are produced. When gray chickens are mated, the chicks are black, gray, and white. Using a Punnett Square, demonstrate how feather color is inherited in Andalusian chickens. Is the inheritance of feather color in this problem an example of incomplete dominance? Why would it be impossible to establish a true breeding flock of gray Andalusian chickens? In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant to white (b), and a rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth (r). What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic results of the following crosses? BBRR x bbrr BBrr x bbRR Bbrr x bbRr BBRr x BbRr BbRr x BbRr A pure-breeding black, smooth guinea pig was mated to a pure-breeding white, rough female.They produced several litters,…
In humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.
A farmer is interested in an interesting colour in his lilies. Colour in lilies is controlled by a single autosomal gene (Gene H) with two alleles. The H-allele results in a purple flower, while the recessive allele results in a white flower. The farmer has a plant that has purple flowers. Can you suggest how the farmer can determine the genotype (HH or Hh) of his purple flowered plant in a single cross? Describe this cross and provide details on how you would interpret the results.
In many species of flowering plants, the gene(s) responsible for flower color are incompletely dominant. A cross of a red rose and a blue rose will create what color(s) of flowers? Red Blue Both red and blue Purple Red, blue and purple
In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pphomozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select two statements below that are TRUE. options: The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 cM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 cM. The homologs in the plant with…
