A. What is the genotype of the F1 offspring? . B. If this trait exhibits simple (Mendelian) dominance, circle the phenotype expected for the F1 fur color: dark pigment / medium pigment / less pigment Observed phenotype: F1 actually have medium pigment. Initially this looks like blending, but it is not. M and m are discrete units. This observation does not disprove Mendel's First Law which holds true for the genotypes. Individuals with genotype Mm produce more pigment than individuals with genotype mm and less than individuals with genotype MM. C. Write the F1 x F1 cross_ in a Punnett square below. and show the gametes and offspring

Question

Please complete task 4 

Task # 4 Genotypes and Phenotypes: The Mc1r gene is located on chromosome #16
in mice. Mice are diploid so every somatic cell has two copies of the Mc1r gene. Since
there are two Mc1r alleles there are three possible genotypes: MM, Mm and mm.
M=dark pigment m=less pigment
Parental generation: an inland mouse (MM) mates with a beach mouse (mm)
A. What is the genotype of the F1 offspring?
B. If this trait exhibits simple (Mendelian) dominance, circle the phenotype expected for
the F1 fur color: dark pigment / medium pigment / less pigment
Observed phenotype: F1 actually have medium pigment. Initially this looks like blending,
but it is not. M and m are discrete units. This observation does not disprove Mendel's
First Law which holds true for the genotypes. Individuals with genotype Mm produce
more pigment than individuals with genotype mm and less than individuals with
genotype MM.
C. Write the F1 x F1 cross,
in a Punnett square below.
and show the gametes and offspring
D. What genotypic and phenotypic ratios would you expect? (include the genotype or
phenotype and the ratio)
E. Individuals with which genotype would be most likely to hide...
in dark inland ground cover?
on the white sandy beach?
in regions with white sand and patches of dark grass?
