In cats, white patches are caused by the dominant allele P while p/p individuals are solid colored. Short hair is caused by the dominant allele S, while s/s cats have long hair. A longhaired cat with patches whose mother was solid-colored and shorthaired mates with a shorthaired, solid-colored cat whose mother was longhaired and solid-colored. What kinds of kittens can arise from this mating and in what proportions? Outline the cross and assign genotypes, phenotypes, and proportions in the space below.

F1 progeny:
1/4 s/s ; P/plong hair, white patches

In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w). Cross a marriage between a heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman. Give genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring.
In horses, black is dependent upon a dominant gene, B, and chestnut upon its recessive allele, b. The trotting gait is due to a dominant gene, T, the pacing gait to its recessive allele, t. If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter, what will be the appearance of the F1 generation?
In hamsters, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b) and long fur (L) is dominant over short fur (l). A black, long furred female whose mother had brown fur and whose father had short fur is mated with a black, short furred male whose father had brown, long fur.
What is the probability that the first three offspring will have brown, long fur?
What is the probability that the first offspring will have black, long fur?
What is the probability that one of the first three offspring will have black, long fur and the other two brown, short fur?

- Hair length is incompletely dominant in Chihuahuas. If a homozygous long-haired Chi mates with a homozygous short-haired Chi, their heterozygous offspring have medium-length hair. If two heterozygous Chihuahuas mate, what is the probability that their pups will have long hair, medium hair, or short hair? L = long hair allele l = short hair allelearrow_forwardIn humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, the allele for normal wings (V) is dominant to the allele for short wings (v). Suppose two fruit flies heterozygous for the trait are mated. What is the male fruit fly’s genotype and the female fruit fly’s genotype? What is the male fruit fly’s phenotype and the female fruit fly’s phenotype? What will be the genotypic ratio of the F1 generation? What will be the phenotypic ration of the F1 generation?arrow_forward
- In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. Cats homozygous for the long tail allele (T) have long tails and cats homozygous for the short tail allele (t) have no tails. Heterozygous cats have short tails. Draw a Punnett square for a mating between a short tail cat and a cat with no tail. According to your Punnett square, what is the percent chance that they would have a kitten with no tail? A)0% B)25% C)50% D)75% E)100%arrow_forwardIn Dogs, short tail (t) is recessive to long tail (T). A true-breeding (homozygous) short-tailed male is mated to a long-tailed female. What will the phenotype of their juvenile dog look like? * TT Tt tt All will have Long tail (Homozygous) All will have Long tail (Heterozygous) All will have short tail (Homozygous)arrow_forwardIn rural northeast Kansas domesticated cats are becoming wild, and biologists are observing that wildcats occur in three colors. Fur color is controlled by a single gene that exhibits incomplete dominance. A homozygous dominant cat is blue (BB), a homozygous recessive cat is red (bb), and a heterozygous wildcat will be purple (Bb). What would be the expected phenotypes of the offspring if a blue wildcat mates with a red wildcat? Develop a Punnett square and list the genotypes as well.arrow_forward
- In a particular animal, coat color is under the control of two interacting genes. Each gene has a dominant and recessive allele. A = Color, a = Albino, and B = Brown coat color, b = Red coat color. Two AaBb animals are mated. What proportion of their offspring is expected to be albino? Assume the genes are assorting independently.arrow_forwardIn seals, long whiskers (W) are dominant over short whiskers (w). What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring produced by mating a seal that is homozygous recessive with one that is heterozygous?arrow_forwardIn Labrador dogs, coat color is controlled by the genotypes of two genes. In one gene, the dominant allele, B, produces black fur, and the recessive allele, b, produces brown fur. However, if a second gene possesses two recessive alleles, ee, the dog produces yellow fur, regardless of the genotype of the first gene. If two dogs that are heterozygous for both genes, BbEe mated, what would be the frequency of the three phenotypes, black, brown, and yellow?arrow_forward
- In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?arrow_forwardIn dogs, black fur color is dominant to white. Two heterozygousblack dogs are mated. What is the probability of the followingcombinations of offspring?A. A litter of six pups, four with black fur and two with white fur.B. A first litter of six pups, four with black fur and two with whitefur, and then a second litter of seven pups, five with black furand two with white fur.arrow_forwardIn Andalusian chickens, feather côlor is inherited by incomplete dominance. If one parent with black feathers (BB) is crossed with a white feathered parent (WW), all of the offspring will have blue feathers (BW).
