- In alley cats, the coat color is determined by a gene carried on the X-chromosome. At the same time, the alleles are expressed as intermediate (incomplete-dominance) inheritance. Genotypes and color are as follows: Females: X ^ b * X ^ b =yellow X^ B X ^ b = calico X ^ B * X ^ B =black Males: X ^ y * Y =yellow X ^ B * Y=bhck (a) A black cat has a litter of seven kittens: three black males, one black female and three calico females. Comment on the probable paternity of this litter and explain.arrow_forwardA female mouse that is Igf2 Igf2− is crossed to a male that is also Igf2 Igf2−The expected outcome for the phenotypes of the offspring for this cross isa. all normal size. c. 1 normal : 1 dwarf.b. all dwarf. d. 3 normal : 1 dwarfarrow_forwardYou are looking at a maternal effect gene that comes in 2 alleles, B (brown) is dominant and b (gray) is recessive.

- A cross occurs between a black homozygous mouse and a white homozygous mouse. They produce gray offspring. Referring to the mouse scenario noted above, what is the percentage phenotypic probability if we cross two gray mice from F1 generation? a. 100% black b.75% gray; 25% white c. 25% black ; 50% gray , 25% white d. 50% black; 50% whitearrow_forwardA spotted rabbit, when mated with a solid-colored rabbit, produced all spotted offspring. When these F1 rabbits were crossed among themselves, they produced 24 spotted rabbits and 8 solid-colored rabbits. About how many of the 24 spotted rabbits in the F2 generation would be expected to be homozygous?arrow_forwardA male having genotype AaBbCc mates with a female that has genotype aabbCc, where A is dominant to a; B is dominant to b; C is dominant to c. All loci assort independently. What is true considering the probability that progeny will be either aa or cc? these events are independent and mutually exclusive these events are independent but not mutually exclusive these events are neither independent nor mutually exclusive these events are mutually exclusive but not independentarrow_forward
- The presence of horns in cattle is controlled by a single gene. The hornless (H) condition is dominant over the horned (h) condition. A hornless cow was crossed repeatedly with the same horned bull. The following results were obtained with the F1 offspring: 8 hornless, 7 horned. What are the parents’ genotypes?arrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Mouse Coat Phenotype and Genotype Correlation Agouti coat AA, Aa Solid gray/black coat aa Pigment production CC, Cc Albinism cc Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question. Coat Color Number of Mice Born in Each Trial Cross Mean Number of Mice 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Agouti coat 11 8 9 9 10 8 10 7 10 9 Solid gray/black coat 5 2 1 3 4 3 4 3 3 2 Albinism 3 3 6 4 4 3 3 7 4 3 Which…arrow_forwardRadishes may be round, oval and lomg. Aside from this, they may be red, purple or white in color. Red x white produces progeny, all of which are purple. If purple oval will be crossed with purple oval, how many types of phenotypes will appear? If purple oval are crossed with white, long radishes, then what genotypic and phenotypic ratios exist in the progeny? Indicate the phenotypes of the offspring.arrow_forward
- Which of these predictions would you make for a gene that is haplosufficient and essential for viability? A diploid heterozygous for a null allele and the wild-type allele will be viable. A diploid heterozygous for a null allele and a wild-type allele will be nonviable. A diploid homozygous for a null allele will be nonviable. A null allele would lead to nonviable haploid cells.arrow_forwardIn whippets, wild-type dogs are skinny. A mutation in the myostatin gene causes dogs to become more muscular. Dogs containing one copy of the mutant myostatin gene are medium-muscled; dogs in which both copies of the myostatin gene are mutant are highly-muscled. A dog breeder mates a wild-type skinny dog with a highly-muscled dog. He then self-crosses the resulting F1 progeny. What are the phenotypic ratios in the F2 progeny?arrow_forwardA black male cat is crossed to a tortoise female cat what are the expected number (fraction) of each phenotype of only the female progeny? tortoise females black females orange females options: 0, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, allarrow_forward
