In domestic cats, the allele (L) is a dominant allele for short-hair trait. The recessive allele for long hair is (1). A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens with a male cat with a ll genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short hair? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.

Incomplete Dominance: 1) On the planet Iota Geminorum IV there exists a small hairy animal known as a tribble. It comes in three colors blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus with incompletre dominance. A homozygous CBCB is blue, a homozygous CRCR is red, and a heterozygous CBCR is purple. a. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring if a blue tribble were crossed with a red one? b. If the offspring in #1 were crossed what would the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be of this generation?

In humans, "unattached" earlobes are dominant over "attached" earlobes. "Widows peak" hairline is dominant over "non-widows peak" hairline. Use E and e for the earlobe phenotype alleles, and W and w for the hairline phenotype alleles. A female and a male, both with genotype EeWw have a child. What is the probability it will be a boy, and have attached earlobes and a widows peak hairline?
In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.
i) Assuming brown eyes (E) are dominant over blue eyes (e), determine the genotypes of all the following individuals. The blue-eyed son of two brown-eyed parents marries a brown eyed woman whose mother was brown eyed and whose father was blue eyed. Their child is blue eyed.
In cats, the locus for orange coat color is sex linked. Male cats that are black have the o+ allele, whereas those that are orange have the o allele. Females can be homozygous for the orange allele or homozygous for the black allele and will express each color, respectively. Heterozygous females are tortoise-shelled or calico, having orange and black patches. A calico cat, in addition to being heterozygous at the orange locus, also is either heterozygous or homozygous for the incompletely dominant, autosomal spotting allele (SS = large spots, Ss = small spots, ss = no spots). Manx tails are caused by a dominant trait that is lethal when homozygous. Long tails are the result of a homozygous recessive genotype. An orange male with small white spots and a manx tail is crossed to a calico female with small white spots and a manx tail. What is the probability of observing a solid black female with no spots and long tail? (Hint: All calico cats are female!)
In humans, a widow’s peak hairline (H) has complete dominance over the straight hairline (h).What is the genotype for an individual that homozygous dominant for this trait
Heterozygous individuals perpetuate some alleles that have lethal effects in homozygous individuals. A mutated allele (ML) associated with taillessness in Manx cats (left) is an example. Cats homozygous for this allele (MLML) typically die before birth due to severe spinal cord defects. In a case of incomplete dominance, cats heterozygous for the ML allele and the normal, unmutated allele (M) have a short, stumpy tail or none at all. Two MLM cats mate. What is the probability that any one of their surviving kittens will be heterozygous?
In domestic cats, the dominant allele A encodes pigmented fur and the recessive allele a encodes white fur. Two cats with Aa genotypes have a litter of kittens. For each kitten, what is the probability that the kitten has pigmented fur? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett square.
In horses, height is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are Tall (T) and short (T’). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as medium height. What is the phenotype of a horse with the genotype TT? What is the phenotype of a horse with the genotype T’T’? What is the phenotype of a horse with the genotype TT’? *
Kernel color in wheat is controlled by 2 pairs of genes (AABB). Determine the color of the offspring with the following genotypes: (Note: 4 contributing alleles – red; 3 contributing alleles – medium red; 2 contributing alleles – intermediate red; 1 contributing allele – red; and 0 – white (AAbb x AaBb, AABb x Aabb, aaBb x Aabb, AABb x aabb, AABb x AaBb) Refer to the problem above, a wheat plant producing medium red seed is crossed with another plant producing intermediate red seed. How many individuals will be? Red Medium red Intermediate red Light red White
