Question

Horse coat color is controlled by many genes, including extension and cream. The extensions gene, E, determines pigment color.
E-, representing either Ee or EE, produces a bay coat, and ee produces a red coat. The cream gene, Cr, is incomplete dominant
and functions by decreasing the intensity of the E color phenotype. The crcr genotype does not alter the red or bay phenotype.
However, the Crcr genotype changes red into palomino and bay into buckskin. This is called a single dilute. The CrCr genotype
alters red into cremello and bay into perlino. This is called a double dilute.
Suppose two buckskin horses, each with the Ee Crcr genotype, are crossed. Use the forked-line (branched diagram) method to
determine the proportion of each phenotype and each genotype in the next generation. Each proportion may be used more than
once or not at all.

Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?

As it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progeny

A proband female with an unidentified disease seeks the advice of a genetic counselor before starting a family. Based on the following data, the counselor constructs a pedigree encompassing three generations: (1) The maternal grandfather of the proband has the disease.

(3) The proband has an affected older sister, but the youngest siblings are unaffected twins (boy and girl). (4) All the individuals who have the disease have been revealed.
