In the species Chinchilla chinchilla, Neotropical crepuscular rodent of the parvorder Caviomorpha, a mating between a homozygous long-tailed chinchilla male and a homozygous short chinchilla female will produce all medium length tail chinchilla offspring. When these medium length tail chinchilla offspring F₁ are mated, their offspring consists of 3 tail-less chinchillas, 24 long-tailed chinchillas, 120 medium-length tailed chinchillas, and 15 short-tailed chinchillas. What genetic interaction may be occurring in this population? Please explain

For a particular rodent, black fur is dominant over brown fur, and a long tail is dominant over a short tail. Give the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring that could result from the breeding of a homozygous black fur and heterozygous tail rodent and a rodent of heterozygous for both traits.
A heterozygous black furred shirt whispered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white furred long whiskers mouse
If the homozygous dominant turtle mates with a heterozygous turtle, what ratio of brown-shell to green-shell turtles do we get?
Tallness (T) in snapdragon plants is dominant to dwarfness (t), and red (CR) flower color is not dominant to white (CW). The heterozygous condition results in pink (CRCW) flower color. If snapdragons are heterozygous for height as well as for flower color, a mating between them will result in what ratio?
During the mating season, a certain type of lizard will bob its head up and down while displaying a colourful throat patch. These lizards prefer to find mates that bob their heads fast (dominant) instead of slow (recessive), and that have a red throat patch (dominant) instead of a yellow one (recessive). A male lizard heterozygous for head bobbing and homozygous dominant for throat patch mates with a female also heterozygous for head bobbing but homozygous recessive for throat patch. a) give the alleles (using proper notation) and the genotypes of the parent lizards. [2] b) show a Punnett Square for this cross. Remember: find the gametes first, so you know how big to make the Punnett Square (hint: it is NOT 4 x 4!) [2] c) What ratio of offspring have the preferred fast/red phenotype? [1] d) What percent of the young will not get mates because they have slow head bobbing and yellow throats? [1] e) what percent of the young will have trouble finding mates because they lack one of the…
in certain fish the mating of black-scaled (B) with white a white-scaled (W) will create offspring with a patchwork with black and white scales. which type of inheritence pattern is this?
Rama the cama, a llama-camel hybrid, was born in 1998. The idea was to breed an animal that has the camel's strength and endurance, and the llama's gentle disposition. However, instead of being large, strong, and sweet, Rama is smaller than expected and has a camel's short temper. The breeders plan to mate him with Kamilah, a female cama. What potential problems with this mating should the breeders anticipate?
A yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male. Half of the puppies were brown, and half were yellow. Explain how the same female, when mated with a different brown male, could produce only brown offspring. The first male was bb EE, and the second male was bb Ee. The first male was Bb EE, and the second male was Bb Ee. The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE. The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was Bb Ee. The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb ee.
In gryphons, coat color is determined by a single gene with a completely dominant black (B) allele and a recessive white allele (b). Beak shape is determined by a single gene with a completely dominant sharp beak allele (R) and a recessive round beak allele (r). The color and beak genes are linked by 25 cM(= centimorgans = map units). If a female heterozyogous at both loci has the dominant alleles linked in cis, she will produce gametes that have what genotypes in what ratios? Explain your answer.

Carrion beetles lay their eggs in dead animals and then bury them in the ground until they hatch. Assume that the preference for fresh meat (F) is dominant to the preference for rotted meat and that the tendency to bury the meat shallow (S) is dominant to the tendency to bury the meat deep. Suppose a female carrion beetle homozygous dominant for both traits mates with a male homozygous recessive for both tra What will be the genotype of the F1 generation?
In some animal species, being tall is dominant over being short. If a homozygous dominant individual mates with a short individual, what is the chance that their offspring will be heterozygous?
