The L gene in cats controls if they like to sit on your laptop (L) or on the book you are reading (I). L is dominant to I. The F gene controls how much fur cats shed. FF cats shed a lot, Ff cats some, and ff cats shed a little. The C gene controls how sharp their claws are: C is sharp, which is dominant to c. But it is a bit more complicated... Because the R gene controls how well they can retract their claws. rr cats cannot retract their claws, and thus, they are always touching the ground and are never sharp. Only RR or Rr cats have a possibility of sharp claws. The A gene is useful when cats are angry. AA cats growl. aa cats hiss. Aa cats growl and hiss. All of these genes are unlinked. These cats mate: Dad: LI Ff Cc Rr Aa Mom: I| Ff Cc rr aa a) Which gene acts co-dominantly? b) c) Which gene acts partially/incompletely dominantly? How many types of gametes can each parent make? Show work. d) LIST all the gametes the mom cat can make. What fraction of the kittens (SHOW WORK for EACH of these) e) Have sharp claws? Sit on your laptop, shed medium, have dull claws that DO retract, and only hiss when angry? (Give one fraction.)
