mammals, albinism is caused by an autosomal allele that interferes with skin pigment. Early one morning on your way to genetics class, you observe that two normally pigmented javelina parents have an albino piglet.
In mammals, albinism is caused by an autosomal allele that interferes with skin pigment. Early one morning on your way to genetics class, you observe that two normally pigmented javelina parents have an albino piglet.
What are the genotypes of the parents? _________________________________
What is the probability that their next five offspring will be albino? __________________________
What is the probability that 3 of the next 7 offspring will be normally colored?______________________
Describe the process by which you would test these normally colored offspring to see if they carried the albinism gene. What are the expected ratios from that test?
You want to develop a strain of albino javelina for commercial use (the other really white meat). Describe how you would go about developing that strain starting with the 2 parents and the one albino offspring.
