3. Coat color in cats is a codominant trait and is also located on the X chromosome. Cats can be black, orange or calico. A calico cat has black and orange splotches. In order to be calico. the cat must have an allele for the black color and an allele for the orange color. a. Use a punnett square to show why there are no male calico cats. A female calico cat is crossed with a male black cat. What are the phenotypes of the offspring and in what proportion? b.

V. Two Gene Pairs (Extra Credit) 1... A. In peas, the allele for tall plants (T) is dominant over the allele for short plants (t). The allele for smooth peas (S) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (s). Use this information to cross the following parents. I 1. heterozygous tall and smooth X heterozygous tall and smooth 2. heterozygous tall, wrinkled X short, wrinkled AL.
1. Use the diagram of the pedigree above, which shows inheritance of an x-linked recessive trait through a family. Select ALL of the individuals in the pedigree who must be carriers for the trait. E G B C H A
9. A true-breeding blue-flower, wrinkled-seed, short-stem, yellow-leaf plant was crossed with a true-breeding red-flower, round- seed, long-stem, green-leaf plant and all of the progeny had the following phenotype: purple-flower, round seed, short-stem, approximately half of the leaves on the plants were yellow and the other half green. Assuming a single gene controls each trait, describe the inheritance pattern for each gene. Inheritance Pattern a. Gene Flower color Seed shape Stem length Leaf color
2. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes in humans. Having a peaked hairline is dominant over having a smooth hairline in humans. Two such humans decide to have offspring – who will also be human, because you know – genes. One of the parents has blue eyes and is heterozygous for a peaked hairline. The other parent is brown-eyed with a peaked hairline but is heterozygous for both traits. a) Complete a Punnett square showing all possible genotypes of their offspring. b) What is the probability of this couple producing a child with blue eyes? c) What is the probability of producing a child who has both brown eyes and a smooth hairline?
1. If a purebred pea plant with purple flowers was crossed with a purebred pea plant with white flowers, all of the offspring's flowers ended up being purple. In this instancethe WHITE flower trait is considered to be what?

GenotypeA/− ; C/− ; R/− is colored; all others are colorless.A colored plant is crossed with three tester plants ofknown genotype. With tester a/a ; c/c ; R/R, the coloredplant produces 50 percent colored seeds; with a/a ;C/C ; r/r, it produces 25 percent colored; and withA/A ; c/c ; r/r, it produces 50 percent colored. What isthe genotype of the colored plant?

The coat colour of some dogs is an example of an epistatic interaction. The common alleles are black (B) and brown (b). There is a separate gene on a separate chromosome that influences coat colour; it prevents colour formation and causes a white coat. L = prevents color formation and causes a white coatl = allows colour formation to occur.If a white dog heterozygous for both traits is crossed with a black dog that is heterozygous for the color gene, which of the following represents the phenotypes of the offspring? Select one:
3. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous.
. Set up the Punnett square for each of the following crosses. These crosses are all for the trait of round (dominant) vs. wrinkled (recessive) in sweet peas. 1. Rr x Rr What percentage off the offspring will be round? _____________________ 2. RR x Rr What percentage off the offspring will be round? _____________________ 3. Rr x rr What percentage off the offspring will be wrinkled? _____________________
