Chapter 5, Problem 36P
Two genes control color in corn snakes as follows: O– B– snakes are brown, O– bb are orange, oo B– are black, and oo bb are albino. A brown snake was mated to an albino snake, and a large number of F progeny were obtained, all of which were brown. When the F snakes were mated to one another, they produced 100 brown offspring, 25 orange, 22 black, and 13 albino.
| a. | What are the genotypes of the F1 snakes? |
| b. | What proportions of the different colors would have been expected among the F snakes if the two loci assort independently? |
| c. | Do the observed results differ significantly from what was expected, assuming independent assortment is occurring? |
| d. | What is the probability that differences this great between observed and expected values would happen by chance? |

- In rabbits, black hair depends on a dominant allele, B, and brown hair on a recessive allele, b. short hair is due to a dominant allele, S, and long hair to a recessive allele, s. If a true-breeding black short-haired male is mated with a brown long-haired female, describe their offspring. What will be the genotypes of the offspring? If two of these f1 rabbits are mated, what phenotypes would you expect among their offspring? In what proportions?arrow_forwardDuring breeding season, lizards attract mates by bobbing their heads and displaying colorful throat patches. The genes for these traits are on different chromosomes. Fast bobbing heads (F) and red throat patches (R) are dominant to slow bobbing heads and yellow patches. a. A male lizard heterozygous for head bobbing and homozygous dominant for the red throat patch mates with a female that is also heterozygous for head bobbing but is homozygous recessive for yellow throat patches. How many of their offspring will have fast bobbing heads and red throat patches (assume 16 young). b. Assume that lizards prefer to mate with other lizards with fast bobbing heads and red throat patches. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will lack mates because they are slow bobbers with yellow throats? c. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will have only one of the two desired traits?arrow_forwardWith regard to scurs in cattle ( a sex influenced trait) a cow with no scurs whose mother had scurs had offspring with a bull with scurs whose father had no scurs.
