In mice, the A allele causes agouti fur, the AY allele causes yellow fur and is dominant to the A allele. The homozygous AY AY genotype is lethal. Why is the AYAY homozygous condition lethal?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- In mice, the A allele causes agouti fur, the AY allele causes yellow fur and is dominant to the A allele. The homozygous AY AY genotype is lethal. Why is the AYAY homozygous condition lethal? The AY allele highly transcribes the merc gene which is lethal in a homozygous AYAY individual. None of the other answers are correct. The AY allele lacks an upstream merc gene which is required for normal embryonic development. The AY allele contains a null mutation in the A gene, which is required for normal embryonic development. The yellow pigment produced by A allele is required for survival.In crosses between mutant mice, you find the following patterns in the genotype for the A locus containing alleles A1, A2, A3 and A4: What would be the best explanation for the inheritance and why?A recessive epistasis cross gives in the F2 a 9:3:4 phenotypic ratio. What is the expected phenotypic ratio when the F1 (BbEe) is crossed with the double recessive homozygote (bbee)? Keeping in mind ee masks the expression of B.
- Bronze coloured turkey is controlled by a dominant allele, B. Red coloured turkey is homozygous for a recessive allele bb. Dominant gene N produce normal feather and recessive genotype produce ‘hairy’ feather nn. In a cross between homozygous bronzed coloured turkey with ‘hairy’ feather and homozygous red coloured turkey with normal feather. What are the ratios of F2 progeny with Bbnn genotypes? (I want to check if what i'm doing is correct)The fur color gene in rabbits has a dominant allele B with a black phenotype and a recessive allele with a brown phenotype. The rabbit hair length gene has a dominant allele S for short hair, and a long hair recessive allele s. In a cross between a homozygous black-long-hair rabbit with a homozygous brown-short rabbit, what would be the genotype(s) B_s_ v and phenotype(s) [ Select ] of the F1 generation? What would be the genotype(s) [ Select ] and phenotype(s) [ Select ] of the F2 generation?In mice, an allele for apricot eyes (a) is recessive to an allele for brown eyes (a+). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for tan coat color (t) is recessive to an allele for black coat color (t+). A mouse that is homozygous for brown eyes and black coat color is crossed with a mouse having apricot eyes and a tan coat. The resulting F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. In a litter of eight F2 mice, what is the probability that two will have apricot eyes and tan coats?
- Mouse fur color is affected by TWO unlinked loci. GG or Gg mice are agouti. Mice with genotype gg are albino since all pigment production is blocked, regardless of the phenotype at the second locus. At the other locus, the F allele (agouti coat) is dominant to the f allele (black coat). How many black mice would result from a cross between two agouti mice of genotype GgFf? (just write in the numeral)The white Leghorn breed of chickens is homozygous for the dominant allele C, which produces colored feathers. However, this breed is also homozygous for the dominant allele I of an independently assorting gene that inhibits coloration of the feathers. Consequently, Leghorn chickens have white feathers. The white Wyandotte breed of chickens has neither the allele for color nor the inhibitor of color; it is therefore genotypically cc ii. What are the F2 phenotypes and proportions expected from intercrossing the progeny of a white Leghorn hen and a white Wyandotte rooster?In pigs, erect ears is dominant (E) to drooping ears (e). The gene for ear position is autosomal. A farmer performs a test cross on an erect eared sow (female pig). Explain the purpose of a test cross and describe the other individual involved in the cross.
- In bears fur colour can be either yellow or tan, and is determined by two alleles of the C gene. A heterozygous bear is observed to present a fur pattern of yellow and tan patches. Explain why this can occur.A brown mouse is mated to a white mouse and all of their offspring are brown. Define and assign symbols for the possible alleles. Which allele is dominant?The B allele confers black coat color and the b allele brown coat color in Labrador dogs. When another gene, E, is inherited, the coat is golden no matter what the B phenotype is. A dog of genotype ee expresses the black phenotype. What unusual phenomenon is at work in this disorder?
