Prediction of Genetic Gain. If the milk yield of a herd of cow is 6,479 kg while those kept for breeding is 6,890 kg, and the h2 estimate of milk yield is 0.85. And the generation interval of dairy cattle is 4 years. What will be the expected genetic gain in the milk yield (kg/year) of the next generation?

selves in the offspring. The crosses are lled ssed differently in homozy- heterozygous individuals. This produces a con- dition called incomplete dominance. In such cases, both worked out in the same manner as indicated previously, but heterozygous offspring exhibit a phenotype interme- diate between that of the homozygous individuals. Some examples follow. Activity 2 Working Out Crosses Involving Incomplete Dominance 1. The inheritance of flower color in snapdragons illustrates the principle of incomplete dominance. The geno-type RR is expressed as a red flower, Rr yields pink flowers, and rr produces white flowers. Work out the following crosses to determine the expected phenotypes and both genotypic and phenotypic percentages. % of each phenotype: 2. In humans, the inheritance of sickle cell anemia/trait is deter- mined by a single pair of alleles that exhibit incomplete domi- nance.

Genetics Problems. Show your crosses. It must contain: (a) parental genes, (b) genotypic ratio, (c) phenotypic ratio, (d) hybrid cross and (e) other answer needed in the question. A. Cock-feathering in chickens is a trait limited to expression only in males and is determined by the autosomal recessive genotype hh. The dominant allele H produces henfeathered males. All females are hen-feathered regardless of genotype. A cock-feathered male is mated to a female. Show the cross.
Monohybrid Problems llustrating Codominamce 5. Another type of monohybrid inheritance involves the expression of both phenotypes in the heterozy- gous situation. This is called codominance. One well-known example of codominance occurs in the coat color of Shorthorn cattle. Those with reddish-gray roan coats are heterozygous (RR'), and result from a mating between a red (RR) Shorthorn and one that's white (R'R'). Roan cattle don't have roan-colored hairs, as would be expected with incom- plete dominance, but rather appear roan as a result of having both red and white hairs. Thus, the roan col- oration is not a consequence of pigments blending in each hair. Because the R and R' alleles are both fully expressed in the heterozygote, they are codominant. a. If a roan Shorthorn cow is mated with a white bull, what will be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the F, generation? genotypic ratio . phenotypic ratio b.
