White (w) coat color in guinea pigs is recessive to black (W). In 1909, *17. W. E. Castle and J. C. Phillips transplanted an ovary from a black guinea pig into a white female whose ovaries had been removed. They then mated this white female with a white male. All the offspring from the mating were black (W. E. Castle and J. C. Phillips. 1909. Science 30:312–313).

- From your research, you discover that in this species of fish, the allele for black color is dominant to orange color. Based on this research, can you determine the genotype of a black fish just by looking at it? Why or why not? Yes, because the recessive allele must have been eliminated by the dominant one. Yes, because the phenotype always expresses all the alleles. No, because you do not know the DNA sequence. No, because it could be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous.A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?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?
- Please read the scenario below, and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. In cats, the allele (B) produces a black coat color and the allele (b) produces a yellow coat color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell coat color. The alleles (B) and (b) are also sex-linked (i.e., they are carried on the X chromosome), and cats possess an XX-XY sex determination system, like humans. If a female cat with a tortoise shell coat mated with a male cat who had a yellow coat... What gametes would be produced by the female (i.e., mother) cat? a. XBXb b. XB and Xb c. B and b d. Xb and Y e. None of the abovePlease read the scenario below, and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. In cats, the allele (B) produces a black coat color and the allele (b) produces a yellow coat color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell coat color. The alleles (B) and (b) are also sex-linked (i.e., they are carried on the X chromosome), and cats possess an XX-XY sex determination system, like humans.

What percentage of their offspring will have tortoise shell coats? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%1) If TT is mated with Tt, how many of the offspring will genotypically turn out as tt? 2) If TT is mated with Tt, how many of the offspring will phenotypically turn out as t ?
- If you continue with biological studies in the future, you are most likely going to carry out fruit fly experiments. Drosophila melanogaster are used in genetics labs due to how inexpensive they are, how visible their traits are, and their high reproductive rate. In Drosophila, the gene for red and white eye colour is found on the X chromosome. The allele for red eyes (XR) is dominant to the allele for white eyes (Xr). You are asked to cross a pure breeding white-eyed female with a pure breeding red-eyed male. What are the genotypes of the individuals involved in this cross? XRXR XRXr XRX- XrXr XRY XrY Genotype of the parent male Answer Genotype of the parent female Answer Genotype of the male offspring Answer Genotype of the female offspring Answern hamsters the gene for black/white fur color is on the X chromosome. The dominant allele produces black fur and the recessive allele produces white fur. Oreo is a female hamster with patches of black and white fur. Part 1 Oreo mates with Vanilla, a white, male hamster. Of their female offspring, Question Blank 1 of 3 will have all black fur, Question Blank 2 of 3 (on average) will have all white fur, and Question Blank 3 of 3 (on average) will have patches of black and white fur. Part b In observing the state of the Xist promoter sequence in Oreo's cells, which of the following is true? Part 2 In observing the state of the Xist promoter sequence in Oreo's cells, which of the following is true? In black fur cells, the Xist promoter is methylated on both chromosomes. In white fur cells, the Xist promoter is methylated on both chromosomes. In white fur cells, the Xist promoter is methylated on the chromosome that…Color blindness in humans is an X-linked recessive trait. Approximately10% of the men in a particular population are color blind.a.

What proportion of the women in this population are expected to becolor blind?c. What proportion of the women in this population are expected to beheterozygous carriers of the color-blindness allele?
