Question

A selected, inbred rat strain had a tail measuring an average of 5.4 cm. An inbred, wild caught strain had 6.2 cm long tails. The selected and wild caught strains were crossed producing the F1 and F2 below.

Generation

Progeny

Phenotype

F1

20

5.8 cm

F2

250

5 to 6.6 cm

a) Assume that 4 genes control tail length. What is the average contribution per allele in the F2 generation?

b) What proportion of the F2 would have tails 6 cm in length?

c) Which of the following best describes the PARENTAL rat strains?

AAbbCCDD x aaBBccdd

AABBCCDD x aabbccdd

AABBccdd x aabbCCDD

d) How many offspring (approximately) in the F2 would have 5 cm long tails?
