Voles that are born in the Spring have thin coats as adults, while voles that are born in the Fall have thick coats as adults. Most voles live only a few months; voles born in the Spring are alive during the warm summer season, while voles born in the Fall are alive during the cold winter season. The environment experienced by the mother during pregnancy determines coat thickness in the offspring. Now consider a situation in which the environment the vole mothers during pregnancy changes, such that voles born in the Fall now have thin coats. Assume in this case that the Winters are still cold. This scenario provides an example of which of the following hypotheses?
a.Environment mismatch hypothesis
b.Endocrine disruptor hypothesis
c.Thrifty genotype hypothesis
d.Plasticity first hypothesis
A Labrador retriever breeder tried to get brown and yellow puppies. She crossed a yellow female labrador with a brown male. To her surprise all the puppies came out black. Explain why this is seen. What are the chances that she will have yellow puppies if she mates two brown Labrador retrivers? Show your work.
The grandfather has hairy-eared son. His son married a girl who gave birth to a boy. What are the chances that his grandson would be hairy eared too?

- 8) Rusty and Honey recently had a puppy named Bandit, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Honey has been upset since she first saw her new puppy who has a long tail. Honey claims that the animal hospital made a mistake and mixed up her puppy with someone else's puppy. Rusty is homozygous for his short tail, while Honey is heterozygous for her short tail. Some members of her family have long tails, which is the recessive trait. Create a Punnett square using S for the dominant gene and s for the recessive one.

Tail Color - What percent of offspring will have a purple tail?arrow_forwardA tortoiseshell cat, such as the cat pictured, is likely to be female. Why do tortoiseshell coats occur primarily in female cats? Testosterone suppresses the tortoiseshell gene in males, so tortoiseshell coats appear more often in females, who have less testosterone than males. Tortoiseshell coloring is an X-linked recessive trait, so females with two X chromosomes are more likely to express the trait than males. One of a female's two X chromosomes is randomly inactivated in each cell, so each cell may express different alleles. O The X chromosome is disabled in males, so a tortoiseshell coat, which is an X-linked recessive trait, does not occur in males.arrow_forward
