In horses, coat color is determined by a genetic locus in which the white allele is dominant to the colored allele, but when the embryo is homozygous for the white allele it is fatal (death in utero). If two white horses mate, then what proportion of the offspring will have white coats? O 1/2 1/3 O 2/3 O 3/4 O 1/4

Palomino horses have a golden coat color, with a white mane and tail. Palominos do not breed true. Instead, there is a 50% chance that a foal with two Palomino parents will be a Palomino. What is the explanation?
Variations on a Theme by Mendel A characteristic of snapdragons amenable to genetic analysis is flower color. Imagine that a true-breeding red- flowered variety is crossed to a pure line having white flowers. The progeny are exclusively pink-flowered. Diagram this cross, including genotypes for all P1 and F1 phenotypes. What is the mode of inheritance? Let F = red and f = white.

A plant with smooth yellow peas is crossed to a plant with wrinkled green peas. The offspring produced peas that were all smooth and yellow. What are the genotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes of the offspring?
