What fraction of the offspring would be predicted to be heterozygous for fur length, and fur texture and homozygous dominant for fur colour if a cross of two guinea pig's genotype is LlBbSs X llBbss.

Q: From a cross of heterozygotes, which of the following phenotypic ratios suggests a lethal allele in…

A: A heterozygote is a person who has two copies of the same allele at the same genetic locus; a…

Q: You have a purple-flowered pea plant, but you do not know if it is homozygous (PP) or heterozygous…

A: The P allele encodes purple flower. This allele is dominant over p allele. The pp encodes white…

Q: In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W)…

A: Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any…

Q: 6 Coat colour in cattle is determined by a set of incomplete dominant alleles. There is an allele…

A: Incomplete dominance: is called as partial dominance occurs when both alleles at single gene locus…

Q: The alleles for flower colour in snapdragons show incomplete dominance (RR = red, RW = pink, WW =…

A: Ans- In incomplete dominance, the dominant allele does not mask the effect of recessive allele. And…

Q: In a monohybrid cross AA ´ aa, what proportion of homozygotes is expected among the F2 offspring? In…

A: The term homozygous states that both the alleles in a gene are similar. Whereas, heterozygous states…

Q: The gene for flower color in snapdragons displays incomplete dominance. Snapdragons homozygous for…

A: According to Mendelian inheritance, dominant allele expresses itself by masking the expression of…

Q: Rabbit fur is determined by multiple alleles.

A: Rabbit coat color is determined by a combination of alleles. This implies that a single gene can…

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
