Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 36ESP
Labrador retrievers may be black, brown (chocolate), or golden (yellow) in color (see chapter-opening photo on p. 62). While each color may breed true, many different outcomes are seen when numerous litters are examined from a variety of matings where the parents are not necessarily true breeding. Following are just some of the many possibilities.
Propose a mode of inheritance that is consistent with these data, and indicate the corresponding genotypes of the parents in each mating. Indicate as well the genotypes of dogs that breed true for each color.

Referring to the pattern of inheritance of comb type and feathering in chicken, consider the cross between the
following: a hen heterozygous for hen feathering and walnut comb and a cock feathered roster with single
comb. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their male and female offspring?
In rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c); heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted. Consider a cross between a heterozygous black-coated rabbit and a homozygous white-coated rabbit.
In guinea pigs, black fur is dominant over brown fur, and short hair is dominant over long hair. These traits follow Mendelian inheritance. Suppose a homozygous short black hair is mated with a homozygous long brown haired rabbit, determine the phenotypic ratio of the following: F1 generation; F2 generation; F1 mated with a short brown haired rabbit.
Gene Notation: B - hair color , S - hair length

When the F1 are interbred, 197 of the F2 are yellow and 153 are prurple. Give the genotypes of the yellow and purple F2 and propose a genetic model that explains the inheritance of these kernel colors in corn.arrow_forwardThe long hair of Persian cats is recessive to the short hair of Siamese cats, but the black coat color of Persians is dominant to the brown-and-tan coat color of Siamese. Make up appropriate symbols for the alleles of these two unlinked loci. If a pure black, long-haired Persian is mated to a pure brown-and-tan, short-haired Siamese, what will be the appearance of the F1 offspring? If two of these F1 cats are mated, what is the chance that along-haired, brown-and-tan cat will be produced in the F2 generation? (Use the shortcut probability method to obtain your answer; then check it with a Punnett square.)arrow_forward

- In mice, the allele C for colored fur is dominant over the allele c for white fur, and the allele V for normal behavior is dominant over the allele v for waltzing behavior, a form of discoordination. Give the genotypes of the parents in each of the following crosses: (a) Colored, normal mice mated with white, normal mice produced 29 colored, normal and 10 colored, waltzing progeny. (b) Colored, normal mice mated with colored, normal mice produced 38 colored, normal, 15 colored, waltzing, 11 white, normal, and 4 white, waltzing progeny. (c) Colored, normal mice mated with white, waltzing mice produced 8 colored, normal, 7 colored, waltzing, 9 white, normal, and 6 white, waltzing progeny.arrow_forwardIn horses, there are three coat colour patterns called cremello (beige/light brown), chestnut (brown) and palomino (golden with a light mane and tail). If two palomino horses are mated, they produce about % cremello, 4 chestnut and 2 palomino offspring. In contrast, cremello and chestnut horses breed true. Explain this pattern of inheritance.
