A particular gene in dogs contributes to coat color. The two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance. Dogs with genotype mm have normal pigmentation; genotype Mm leads to “dilute” pigmentation; genotype MM produces an all-white dog. If a breeder mates a normal dog with a white dog, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the puppies? If two Mm dogs are mated, what is the probability that a puppy will be white?

Normal pigmentation dominates no pigmentation (albino). For an organism to exhibit color, it must have an allele for normal pigment production as well as alleles for a specific color. In cattle, red color dominates black color. An albino bull that has a heterozygous genotype for red is crossed with a red cow. The cow is heterozygous for normal pigment production and for red coloring. What types of offspring will they produce, and what is the probability of producing these types of offspring? Show your work.
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?
Spotting in horses is a dominant trait. Cross a homozygous spotted horse with a homozygous solid-colored horse. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? Cross two of the offspring from the above cross. What are the genotypes and phenotypes or their offspring? Cross a heterozygous spotted horse with a solid-colored horse. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring?
In a particular animal, coat color is under the control of two interacting genes. Each gene has a dominant and recessive allele. A = Color, a = Albino, and B = Brown coat color, b = Red coat color. Two AaBb animals are mated. What proportion of their offspring is expected to be albino? Assume the genes are assorting independently.
In cats, Manx (M) is a dominant allele that results in cats lacking a tail. The recessive allele (m) gives a cat with a tail. (A) Write out the genotype of a heterozygous cat (B) What is the phenotype of the cat in (A)? (C) The cat in (A) has offspring with a cat that has a tail. What fraction of the offspring of that cat will have tails? In peas, round (R) is dominant to wrinkled. (r )You cross a round pea plant to a wrinkled pea plant and half the offspring are round and half the offspring are wrinkled. What are the genotypes of the parents?
EXAMPLE PROBLEM Two black female mice are crossed with a brown male. In several litters, female I produced 9 black offspring and 7 brown; female II produced 57 black offspring. What deductions can you make about the inheritance of black and brown coat color in mice? What are the genotypes of the parents? Dominance and recessive describe which of two possible phenotypes are exhibited when two different alleles occur in the same individual.
Hair length is incompletely dominant in Chihuahuas. If a homozygous long-haired Chi mates with a homozygous short-haired Chi, their heterozygous offspring have medium-length hair. If two heterozygous Chihuahuas mate, what is the probability that their pups will have long hair, medium hair, or short hair? L = long hair allele l = short hair allele
In Doodlewags (hypothetical creatures), the dominant allele S causes solid coat color; the recessive allele s results in white spots on a colored background. The black coat color allele B is dominant to the brown allele b, but these genes are expressed only in the genotype A-. Individuals that are aa are yellow regardless of B alleles. Six pups are produced in a mating between a solid yellow male and a solid brown female. Their phenotypes are 2 solid black, 1 spotted yellow, 1 spotted black and 2 solid brown. a. What are the genotypes of the male and female parents? Must show work/explain to get full credit. b. What genetic effect is being illustrated in part "a"? Explain in a minimum of 3 sentences.
In rabbits, black is due to a dominant gene, brown color is recessive. Short hair is dominant and long hair is recessive. Cross a homozygous black, short-haired rabbit with a homozygous brown, long-haired rabbit. Give the genotype and phenotype for F1 and F2 generations.
The gene for flower color in snapdragons displays incomplete dominance. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for red flower color have the genotype FRFR and have red flowers. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for white flower color have the genotype FWFW and have white flowers. Heterozygous snapdragons, with the genotype FRFW, have pink flowers. A snapdragon that has pink flowers is crossed with a different snapdragon that has pink flowers. What percentage of the offspring is expected to have red, white, and pink flowers?
In Labrador retrievers, two genes work together to determine coat colour.The first gene affects the colour of the dark pigment, eumelanin. A genotype containing at least one dominant allele of this pigment gene results in black pigmentation (B_). A homozygous recessive genotype of this gene results in chocolate (brown) pigmentation. The second gene affects whether the pigment eumelanin is present in the fur. If a dog has one dominant allele for this expression gene (E_), fur colouration is determined by the pigment gene. If a dog is homozygous recessive for the extension trait, the dog will have a yellow coat. Description Genotype(s) Black coat B_E_ Chocolate coat bbE_ Yellow coat _ _ ee What percentage of chocolate labs would be produced from the mating of a yellow lab who is homozygous recessive for both genes to a black lab who is heterozygous for both coat colour and expression? Select one: a. 50% b. 75% c. 33% d. 25%
The dominance pattern of a gene can be determined from the phenotypes of the parents and offspring. In the examples below, assume that each parent is homozygous for the specific allele and that the progeny are heterozygous. Classify each example as either complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or codominance. Complete dominance Incomplete dominance Codominance Answer Bank A black sheep and a white sheep produce a gray lamb. A white cow and a red bull have a calf that is white with red spots (roan colored). A mother with type A blood and a father with type B blood have a daughter with type AB blood. A pea plant with all purple flowers and a pea plant with all white flowers produce a pea plant with all purple flowers. A moth with red wings and a moth with yellow wings produce a moth with orange wings.
