In rural northeast Kansas domesticated cats are becoming wild, and biologists are observing that wildcats occur in three colors. Fur color is controlled by a single gene that exhibits incomplete dominance. A homozygous dominant cat is blue (BB), a homozygous recessive cat is red (bb), and a heterozygous wildcat will be purple (Bb). What would be the expected phenotypes of the offspring if a blue wildcat mates with a red wildcat? Develop a Punnett square and list the genotypes as well.
In a population of Boer goats, allele G confers +10kg body weight and allele g confers +5kg body weight. Assume G demonstrates complete dominance. Calculate the following values to fill in the table below. Genotype Genetic value Breeding Value Transmitting ability GG Gg gg ) Describe why the heterozygote genotype has an equal/unequal genetic and breeding value.
in sheep, black wool is determined by a Dominant Allele (B) and white wool by a Recessive Allele (b). In a population of 200 sheep, 128 of them exhibit the dominant trait of having black wool and the rest have the recessive trait of white wool. Calculate the frequencies of both the (B) and (b) alleles. Calculate the frequencies of homozygous dominant vs.heterozygous sheep, as well as the homozygous recessives individuals.
You are studying a population of giraffes. In this population, one gene (G) controls spot color in giraffes, which shows incomplete dominance. Individuals with white spots are homozygous gg, individuals with brown spots are homozygous GG, and heterozygotes have orange spots (Gg). You observe 25 white-spotted giraffes, 15 orange-spotted giraffes, and 22 brown-spotted giraffes. Calculate the observed allele frequencies, using p for the frequency of allele G, and the expected number of giraffes of each phenotype assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (do not do the entire chi-square calculation!). For frequencies, report four positions after the decimal. For expected numbers, report two positions after the decimal. • p= • q = • Expected number of orange-spotted = • Expected number of brown-spotted = Expected number of white-spotted =

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
The type of plumage found in mallard ducks is determined by three alleles at a single locus: MR, which encodes restricted plumage; M, which encodes mallard plumage; and md which encodes dusky plumage. The restricted phenotype is dominant over mallard and dusky; mallard is dominant over dusky (MR>M>md). If a duck with the restricted phenotype mates with a mallard type and their offspring ratios are 2 restricted, 4 mallard and 4 dusky, then what is genotype of the parents? O MR M x M md O MR MR x M md O MR md x M md O MR md x M M O Impossible to determine from information provided
In a species of dog, plaid color is represented by P and purple by p, short -tailed is T and long-tailed is t. What are the genotypes of a male who is purple with a long tail, and a female who is homozygous dominant for both traits? Which answer below is true? PpTT & PPTT pptt & PPTT short-tailed purple & long tailed plaid male: purple w/ long tail & female: plaid w/ short tail
There is a lack of dominance in black (B) and white (W) horse coat colours. An offspring produced from a black horse and a white horse has a blue-roan coat colour (BW). When the blue-roan coat is closely examined, both black and white hair can be found. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 24 out of every 150 foals have a white coat. Calculate the frequency of the black horse coat allele in the population. Express your answer using two significant digits.
In a large population of range cattle, the following ratios are observed: 49% red (RR), 42% roan (Rr), and 9% white (rr). What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the next generation of cattle in this population will contain allele R?
The allele for long whiskers in mice is dominant over the allele for a short whiskers. In a population of 500 individuals, 25% show the recessive phenotype. How many mice would you expect to be homozygous dominant and heterozygous for the trait?
Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. A population of 30,012 geese includes 9236 dark individuals. Genetic testing reveals that 7636 of the 9236 dark individuals are heterozygous (Dd). Calculate the chi-square statistic from these data.
