Chapter 4, Problem 24PDQ
Horses can be cremello (a light cream color), chestnut (a reddish brown color), or palomino (a golden color with white in the horse's tail and mane).
Of these
cremello
|
→ | 1/2 cremello 1/2 palomino |
chestnut
|
→ | 1/2 chestnut 1/2 palomino |
palomino
|
→ | 1/4 chestnut 1/ 2 palomino 1/4 cremello |
(a) From these results, determine the mode of inheritance by assigning gene symbols and indicating which genotypes yield which phenotypes.
(b) Predict the F1 and F2 results of many initial matings between cremello and chestnut horses.

In pedigrees, individuals are usually specified by using a Roman numeral for their generation in the chart and an Arabic number for their position (reading left to right) within that generation. If we use the letter c for the allele that causes cystic fibrosis, what are the genotypes of individuals III-3 and III-4 (the third and fourth individuals shown in generation III) in the pedigree that shows this disease?
In terms of a chi-square analysis, what ratio would be tested for the offspring of a monohybrid cross involving a pure-breeding dominant condition mated with a pure-breeding recessive condition?

During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progenyarrow_forward
