Chapter 10, Problem 2GP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mode of inheritance of palomino coloration in the horse.
Introduction:
The palomino horse is usually golden in color but some consider it to be a hybrid breed. The palomino horse was bred with its own kind and the offspring obtained included 65 palominos, 34 chestnut, and 32 cream-colored horses.

A number of all-white cats are crossed, and they produce the following types of progeny: 1216 all-white, 316 black, and 116 gray. What is the genotype of the black progeny? a. Aa b. Aa Bb c. A_B_ d. A_b
In cats, coat color is determined by allelic variation at a single autosomal locus, with black fur dominant to white fur. Two heterozygous black cats are mated. What would be the probability of the following combinations of offspring in a litter of eight kittens? The firstborn kitten with white fur, and among the remaining seven kittens, three with black fur and four with white fur.
What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygous pea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratios would be seen in the F2 progeny?
