(a) AABBCC × aabbcc → AaBbCc
(b) AABbCc × AaBbCc → AAbbCC
(c) AaBbCc × AaBbCc → AaBbCc

- . In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, so heterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios of flower colors would you expect among the offspring of the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white × pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white, and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would be most efficient?arrow_forwardA heterozygous pea plant that is tall with yellow seeds, TtGg, is allowed to self-fertilize. What is the probability that an offspring will be either tall with yellow seeds, tall with green seeds or dwarf with yellow seeds? Use the Sum Rule to calculate the probability asked in the problem.arrow_forward1) If TT is mated with Tt, how many of the offspring will genotypically turn out as tt? 2) If TT is mated with Tt, how many of the offspring will phenotypically turn out as t ?arrow_forward

If a spotted, black-coated rabbit mates with a solid, brown-coated rabbit, what are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring?arrow_forwardIn garden peas, the gene for red flowers (R) is dominant over the gene for white flowers (r). If pollen (cells containing sperm nuclei) from the anther (male reproductive organ) of a homozygous red-flowered plant is added to the pistil (female reproductive organ containing the egg) of a white-flowered plant: a. What would be the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios in the first generation of offspring? b. If two members of the first generation of offspring were crossed, what would be the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios in the next generation?arrow_forward
- A female black cat mated with an albino male and gave birth to six black kittens. When the albino male was mated with a different female black cat, three black cats and two albino cats were produced. How can you explain this pattern of heredity? Write genotypes for all three parental cats and offspring.arrow_forwardPhenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. Individuals with PKU have two recessive alleles and have very low levels of an enzyme that is needed to properly break down proteins. If a woman and her husband are both carriers and have three children, what is the probability of each of the following? Show your math. (Hint: You can represent your probabilities as fractions or decimals, but probabilities are always between 0 and 1) a. All three children are of normal phenotype. b. One or more of the three children have the disease. c.All three children have the disease.arrow_forwardIn rabbits grey hair is dominant to white & black eyes are dominant to red. -Cross 2 parents who are both heterozygous for both traits. 1st Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have grey hair & black eyes? 2nd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have grey hair & red eyes? 3rd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have white hair & black eyes? 4th Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have white hair & red eyes?arrow_forward
- Still referring to Problem 1, what will be the possible genotypes of offspring from the following matings? With what frequency will each genotype show up? a. AABB aaBB b. AaBB AABb c. AaBb aabb d. AaBb AaBbarrow_forward20. 20.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A. Codominance is evident when a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring that exhibits both parental traits because the alleles for each trait are neither completely dominant nor recessive B. Incomplete dominance is evident when a cross between a white carnation and a red carnation results in a pink carnation flower. C. Law of dominance state that if the alleles of a specific gene differ from each other, only one phenotype will be expressed while the other is masked D. The inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of the other trait especially if the allele of the other trait is located in a different chromosomearrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for brown (B) eye color is dominant to the allele which causes blue (b) eyes. If a brown-eyed man, whose father had blue eyes marries a brown-eyed woman and the first baby of this couple has blue eyes, answer: What is the genotype of the man? What is the Genotype of the woman? What is the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio among all possible children?arrow_forward
