- In sheep, the formation of horns is a sex-influenced trait; the allelethat results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females.Females must be homozygous for the horned allele to have horns.A horned ram was crossed to a polled (unhorned) ewe, and the firstoffspring they produced was a horned ewe. What are the genotypesof the parents?In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?. In mice, the dominant allele Gs of the X-linked geneGreasy produces shiny fur, while the recessive wildtype Gs+ allele determines normal fur. The dominantallele Bhd of the X-linked Broadhead gene causesskeletal abnormalities including broad heads andsnouts, while the recessive wild-type Bhd+ alleleyields normal skeletons. Female mice heterozygousfor the two alleles of both genes were mated withwild-type males. Among 100 male progeny of thiscross, 49 had shiny fur, 48 had skeletal abnormalities,2 had shiny fur and skeletal abnormalities, and 1 waswild type.a. Diagram the cross described and calculate thedistance between the two genes.b. What would have been the results if you hadcounted 100 female progeny of the cross?
- Scurs is an example of a sex-influenced traitin cattle that is dominant in males and recessive in females.A male and a female, neither of which has scurs, producea male offspring with scurs. What are the genotypes of theparents?Imagine that feather color in parrots is controlled by one gene with two alleles: "P" and "p" "P" is completely dominant and codes for green feathers "p" is recessive and codes for blue feathers If a green parrot and a blue parrot have offspring, and half of their offspring are green and half are blue, what was the genotype of the green parrot? (hint: this was a test-cross) Pp PPp PP ppA mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).
- n an example of recessive epistasis the deposition of pigment into hair follicles of the Labrador Retriever is governed by a dominant gene (C) and lack of deposition by its recessive allele (c). Lack of pigment deposition produces a yellow coat color. The color of pigment is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene, the dominant allele (B) produces black pigment and its recessive allele (b) produces brown. What coat color ratio is expected from the cross of a brown dog (bbCc) to a black dog (BbCc)? 1/2 brown, 1/2 black 1/4 black, 1/4 brown, 1/2 yellow 1/2 black, 1/4 brown, 1/4 yellow 3/8 black, 1/8 brown, 1/2 yellow 3/8 black, 3/8 brown, 1/4 yellowManx cats have no tail. This is caused by a dominantmutation M, which is embryo lethal when homozygous. An unlinked gene B controls the color of the fur onthe cat's tail. The dominant B allele produces black fur on tails, while the recessive allele b produceswhite fur on tails. A Manx cat that is B/B is crossed to a white-tailed cat. Half of the F1 progeny hadthe Manx phenotype and the other half had normal, black tails.The F1 cats with the Manx phenotype were crossed to each other, producing F2 cats. What is the ratioof the following phenotypes in the F2In Drosophila, an allele causing vestigial wings is 12.5 mu awayfrom another allele that causes purple eyes. A third gene that affectsbody color has an allele that causes black body color. Thisthird gene is 18.5 mu away from the vestigial wings allele and 6mu away from the allele causing purple eyes. The alleles causingvestigial wings, purple eyes, and black body are all recessive.The dominant (wild-type) traits are long wings, red eyes, and graybody. A researcher crossed wild-type flies to flies with vestigialwings, purple eyes, and black bodies. All F1 flies were wild type.F1 female flies were then crossed to male flies with vestigial wings,purple eyes, and black bodies. If 1000 offspring were observed,what are the expected numbers of the following types of flies? long wings, red eyes, gray bodylong wings, purple eyes, gray bodylong wings, red eyes, black bodylong wings, purple eyes, black bodyshort wings, red eyes, gray bodyshort wings, purple eyes, gray bodyshort wings, red eyes,…
- In sheep, the formation of horns is a sex-influenced trait; the allelethat results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females.Females must be homozygous for the horned allele to have horns. Ahorned ram was crossed to a polled (unhorned) ewe, and the firstoffspring was a horned ewe. What are the genotypes of the parents?You have decided to cross your golden Labrador retriever (BBee) with the neighbor's chocolate retriever (bbEe). Gene B when dominant (B_) produces a black Labrador. Gene (E) when recessive is epistatic to the color locus and can inhibit pigment formation leading to the golden dog. What color pups will they have?Let’s suppose a recessive allele encodes a completely defective protein. If the functional allele is dominant, what does that tell youabout the amount of the functional protein that is sufficient to causethe phenotype? What if the allele shows incomplete dominance?
