Summary Introduction
To determine: The pattern of inheritance of coat color and parents’ genotype.
Introduction: Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Offspring receive two sets of chromosomes in which each set belong to each parent. Gene expression influences the

A brown male mouse is mated with two female black mice. In several litters of young, the first female has had 48 black and the second female has had 14 black and 11 brown young. Can you deduce the pattern of inheritance of coat color and the genotypes of the parents?
If black and white true-breeding mice are mated and the result is all gray offspring, what inheritance pattern would this be indicative of?
Andalusian chickens may be either black, white, or gray. The gene for black is not dominant over the gene for white, nor is the gene for white dominant over the gene for black. When a black rooster is mated to a white hen, all gray chicks are produced. When gray chickens are mated, the chicks are black, gray, and white.
Using a Punnett Square, demonstrate how feather color is inherited in Andalusian chickens.
Is the inheritance of feather color in this problem an example of incomplete dominance?
Why would it be impossible to establish a true breeding flock of gray Andalusian chickens?
In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant to white (b), and a rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth (r). What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic results of the following crosses?
BBRR x bbrr BBrr x bbRR Bbrr x bbRr BBRr x BbRr BbRr x BbRr
A pure-breeding black, smooth guinea pig was mated to a pure-breeding white, rough female.They produced several litters,…
