2) Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. At one locus on the X chromosome one allele (X*) encodes black fur; another allele (X°) encodes orange fur. Females can be black (X* X*), orange (Xº xº), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (X* x°). Males can either black (X*Y) or orange (XOY). I have a female tortoiseshell that becomes pregnant by a stray male cat. Her kittens are: 1 orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. Give the GENOTYPES of the mom, all the kittens, and the male stray cat.

In smurfs, blue body (b+) is dominant to white body (b), round nose (r+) is dominant to pointy nose (r), and hatted (h+) is dominant to hatless (h). These three genes are all on smurf chromosome number 6. Gargamel has recently given up on his feckless attempts to turn smurfs into gold and has become a geneticist. In his lab he crosses a female smurf heterozygous for all three traits with a white, pointy-nosed, hatless male smurf. The results of the cross were: 351 blue, round-nosed smurfs with hats 22 blue, pointy-nosed smurfs with hats 71 blue, pointy-nosed smurfs without hats 3 blue, round-nosed smurfs without hats 2 white, pointy-nosed smurfs with hats 65 white, round-nosed smurfs with hats 17 white, round-nosed smurfs without hats 367 white, pointy-nosed smurfs without hats Draw a map of smurf chromosome #6

I. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, tan body color (B) is dominant to black (b), and dark red eyes (E) is dominant to bright orange (e).

In D. melanogaster, reduced bristles (rd), cinnabar eyes (cn), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive traits located on chromosome II in that order. The distance between rd and cn is 7 cM and the distance between cn and vg is 9 cM. The CoC for this chromosome is 0.9. A true-breeding female expressing cinnabar eyes and vestigial wings is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing reduced bristles. The F1 are wild type. An F1 female is then test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only cinnabar eyes? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only vestigial wings?
Two different genes are located on the same chromosome in rabbits. A particular female rabbit is heterozygous for alleles of both genes, with alleles arranged as shown in the diagram to the right. Scientists know that the two genes are on the same chromosome, but do not know their exact relative positions, as indicated by the dashed line. Suppose this female mates with a male rabbit in which the same r. chromosome pair looks like this: Which of the following statements best describes the likelihood that this pair of rabbits would have offspring with a chromosome pair that looks like this: * O More likely if the two genes are not very close together on the chromosome E-i-e R- O Not likely, because the R and e alleles are not on the same chromosome in either parent O More likely if the two genes are very close together on the chromosome O Very likely, because the random assortment of chromosomes during cell division to make sperm or eggs allows for the mixing of all alleles
3) Short tail length in cattle is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Roan coat colour of cattle is due to co-dominance (other coat colours are red and white). a) Show the results of a cross between a bull which has a roan coat and a short tail and a white cow which is heterozygous long tail. b) What percentage of male calves will have a red coat and a short tail?
A new gene is being investigated in fruit flies. The recessive allele of this gene (b) causes the wings to develop a blue color, while the dominant allele (b+) permits wild-type colorless wings to develop. Preliminary studies indicate that this new gene is located on the X-chromosome. You decided to perform a two-point testcross to determine its positionrelative to the well-established garnet eyes gene (g). You cross a female heterozygous for both genes with a testcross male fly and obtain the male offspring results shown in table 1, below. Is the original female a coupling or repulsion heterozygote? What is the map distance between genes b and g?. Based on these results, gene b must be located between what two genes on the map? You perform another two-point testcross between gene b and gene v and obtained the results in table 2, below. Now, you can localize gene b to be specifically between which two genes?
4) In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown in the image attached. a) Assign the letter “s” to the wing pattern gene and letter “w” to the background color gene. Write in the capital letter for the dominant phenotype and the lower case letter for the recessive phenotype. Also, write whether each allele is dominant (D) or recessive (R). Wing pattern gene: Spotted - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Striped - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Background color gene: orange: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ white: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:_____ b) Based on the four matings in Question 4: What are the genotypes of each parent in each cross?

In the diagram below: a) Indicate the sex chromosomes of each member of Pierre's family b) Indicate the color-blindness allele associated with each chromosome of Pierre and his family (let B represent the color vision allele and let b represent a color blindness allele. If an allele cannot be determined with certainty, label the chromosome with a question mark c) Finally, determine the probability that Pierre's sister is color blind. Explain your reasoning.
3) In the snail Capaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (B®) is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell (B°). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here yellow (C') is recessive to brown (CBw). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a test cross). a. What will the results of the testcross be in the loci that control banding and color ARE linked with NO crossing over.
7) In cats, the gene for coat color is both X-linked and incompletely dominant. There are black coat and yellow coat alleles, with calico (tortoise shell) as the heterozygous form. If a yellow male mates with a calico female, what are the expected offspring phenotypes (in percent)? hbit
