Wild-type canaries are yellow. A dominant mutant allele of the color gene, designated W causes white feathers. Inheriting two dominant alleles is lethal to the embryo. If a yellow canary is crossed to a white canary, what is the probability that an offspring will be yellow? What is the probability that it will be white?

You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
A spotted rabbit, when mated with a solid-colored rabbit, produced all spotted offspring. When these F1 rabbits were crossed among themselves, they produced 24 spotted rabbits and 8 solid-colored rabbits. Which of these characters is dependent on a dominant gene? a. spotted rabbit b. solid-colored rabbit
In guinea pigs, short hair is dominant to long hair. Also in guinea pigs, black eyes are dominant to redeyes. A female is heterozygous for both traits is crossed with a male that is long haired and red eyed.What are the expected phenotypes of their offspring and in what proportion?
Crossing a Great Dane and a Chihuahua is likely to be unsuccessful, even though they are members of the same species (and thus have compatible sperm and egg). Why is that? What are some potential risks of such a cross?
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 blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
IN goat, black fur is dominant to red fur. the gene for this trait can be described as Bb, A homozygous black female goat nanny is crossed with a heterozygous male billy , what is the genotype and phenotype of the nanny? what is the genotype and the phenotype of the billy.
. In tigers, a recessive allele of a particular gene causes both anabsence of fur pigmentation (a white tiger) and a cross-eyed condition. If two phenotypically normal tigers that are heterozygousat this locus are mated, what percentage of their offspring will becross-eyed? What percentage of cross-eyed tigers will be white?
In Elves, curled toes (T) is dominant to flat toes (t). If an Elf that is heterozygous were crossed with an Elf that is homozygous recessive, what possible offspring could there be in the F1 generation?
In rabbits, black fur (F) is dominant to white fur (f). You decide to cross a rabbit that is homozygous dominant for fur color with a rabbit that is heterozygous for fur color. Set up a Punnett Square for this cross and then answer the following questions. What percentage of offspring will have the FF phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the ff phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the Ff phenotype?
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 labrador retrievers black coat color is dominant to brown. If a black lab is mated with a brown one and the three offspring are black puppies what can you conclude about the genotype of the black parent?
. In garden peas, yellow (Y) seed color is dominant to green (y). Because yellow and green are two different forms of the same gene (seed color), they are alleles. Use a Punnett square to show a cross between two heterozygous pea plants. What are the phenotype(s) of the offspring? What are the genotype(s) of the offspring?
