Chapter 10, Problem 2GP
In Mexican hairless dogs, a dominant allele confers hairlessness. However, inheriting two dominant alleles is lethal; the fetus dies before birth. Suppose a breeder mates two dogs that are heterozygous for the hair allele. Draw a Punnett square to predict the genotypic and

In some breeds of chickens, there are alleles for black color and white color. Neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a chicken of one of these breeds has both of these alleles, its color is black-and-white spotted (which is also called erminette).
If a spotted chicken is bred with a black chicken, the phenotypes of the offspring will occur in what ratio? (Hint: Construct a Punnett square to help you answer this question.)
A 1:2:1 ratio of black, spotted, and white
A 1:1 ratio of spotted and white
A 1:1 ratio of black and spotted
A 1:3 ratio of white and black
In these breeds of chickens, the alleles for color are an example of codominance or imcomplete dominance?
In one species of finch, there are alleles for yellow color and red color, but neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a finch of this species has both of these alleles, its color is orange.
If an orange finch is bred with a yellow finch, the…
