Question

Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate.

What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2?

Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis.

Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype.

Expert Solution

Introduction:-

Black $\times$ Yellow $\to$ All Yellow (F₁)
F₁ $\times$ F_{2 $\to$}121 Yellow $+$ 9 Black $+$ 30 Chocolate
Total offspring in F₂ $=$ (121 $+$ 9 $+$ 30) $=$ 160

Corresponding Ratios:-

Yellow $=$ $\frac{121}{160}$ $\approx$ 0.76

Black $=$ $\frac{9}{160}$ $\approx$ 0.06

Chocolate $=$ $\frac{30}{160}$ $\approx$ 0.19

Now, Dividing each by frequency of lowest phenotype, i.e. Black $=$ 0.06 we get:-

Yellow $=$ $\frac{0.76}{0.06}$ $=$ 12.6 $\approx$ 12

Black $=$ $\frac{0.06}{0.06}$ $=$ 1 $\approx$ 1

Chocolate $=$ $\frac{0.19}{0.06}$ $=$ 3.16 $\approx$ 3
