When roan cattle are mated, 25% of the offspring are red, 50% are roan, and 25% are white. Upon examination, it can be seen that the coat of a roan cow consists of both red and white hairs. What were the original parental genotypes?
In cocker spaniels, solid coat color is dominant over spotted coatcolor. If two heterozygous dogs were crossed to each other, whatwould be the probability of the following combinations of offspring?A. A litter of five pups, four with solid fur and one with spotted fur.B. A first litter of six pups, four with solid fur and two with spotted fur, and then a second litter of five pups, all with solid fur.C. A first litter of five pups, the firstborn with solid fur, and thenamong the next four, three with solid fur and one with spottedfur, and then a second litter of seven pups in which the firstborn is spotted, the second born is spotted, and the remainingfive are composed of four solid and one spotted animal.D. A litter of six pups, the firstborn with solid fur, the second bornspotted, and among the remaining four pups, two with spottedfur and two with solid fur

- In rabbits, black hair is dependent on a dominant allele B, and brown upon arecessive allele b. Short-hair is due to dominant allele S and long hair to arecessive allele s. If a true-breeding black short haired male is mated with abrown, long-haired female, what will their offspring look like? What will be the genotypes of the offspring?arrow_forwardIn rabbits, the dominant allele B causes black fur and the recessive allele b causes brown fur; for an independently assorting gene, the dominant allele R causes long fur and the recessive allele r causes short fur.
