Chapter 12, Problem 16RQ
A farmer raises black and white chickens. To his surprise, when the first generation of eggs hatch all the chickens are black with white speckles throughout their feathers. What should the farmer expect when the eggs laid after interbreeding the speckled chickens hatch?
- All the offspring will be speckled
- 75% of the offspring will be speckled, and 25% will be black
- 50% of the offspring will be speckled, 25% will be black, and 25% will be white
- 50% of the offspring will be black and 50% of the offspring will be white.

You breed two black dogs. It results in 3 offspring, the first which is black, the second which is brown, and the third which is white.
Give two genetic explanations as to what could cause their fur color. Make sure each explanation includes two genes and follows along with the provided data. Also, explain the genotype of each color of dog and a ratio of the F2 phenotypes you would expect to see from a dihybrid cross.
After you're finished, pick one of the explanations and create a hypothesis for the function of each gene which would explain the molecular basis of the fur color
Finally, for each of the two genes, explain how a specific functional difference between the two alleles leads to a difference in their functions
A class of students mated fruit flies to study the inheritance of traits. The crosses and their results are described below.
Cross 1: A female fruit fly with red eyes mates with a male fruit fly with brown eyes producing 63 offspring. All 63 offspring in this first generation have red eyes.
Cross 3: A female fruit fly with black and tan striped body color mates with a male with black body color. In this first generation, al 56 offspring have black and tan striped body color.
Cross 2: A red-eyed male and a red- eyed female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 98 offspring produced, 74 have red eyes and 24 have brown eyes.
Cross 4: A black and tan striped male and a black and tan striped female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 103 offspring, 76 have black and tan striped body color and 27 have black body color.

You have a dark bay stallion and are trying to determine what its genotype is. You know that all chestnut mares have a recessive genotype of bb. You know that the dark bay is dominant. You breed the stallion to 4 chestnut mares. They each produce one foal. Two of the foals are chestnut, two of the foals are dark bay. What is the probable genotype of the stallion?
Homozygous dominant, BB Heterozygous, Bb Homozygous recessive, bb There is not enough data given to make a probable guess, or None of the above

- Heterozygous Cc chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cc). The dominant C allele is lethal when homozygous. Skin color is determined by the alleles W and w. W_ chickens have white skin and ww chickens have yellow skin. In a mating between 2 chickens heterozygous for both of these genes: 1) What phenotypes will be observed in the progeny? 2) What fraction of the offspring will have each phenotype? Assign alleles. List possible phentoypes. Make gametes, draw Punnett square, and list fractions of genotypes and/or phenotypes of offspring,arrow_forwardYou decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?arrow_forwardA walnut comb rooster is mated to three hens. Hen A, which has a walnut comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 1 rose. Hen B, which has a pea comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 3 pea to 1 rose to 1 single. Hen C, which has a walnut comb, has only walnut comb offspring. What are the genotypes of the rooster and the three hens?arrow_forward

You crossed a male from a pure-breeding, purple-eyed, broken-winged line of fruit flies to a female from a pure-breeding, red-eyed, normal-winged line of fruit flies. All the F1 progeny were wild type. The reciprocal cross gave the same result. The F1 flies from the first cross were mated to produce an F2 population. If there were 528 flies in the F2 population how many would be purple-eyed and normal winged? 396 264 297 99 352arrow_forwardHair length is incompletely dominant in Chihuahuas. If a homozygous long-haired Chi mates with a homozygous short-haired Chi, their heterozygous offspring have medium-length hair. If two heterozygous Chihuahuas mate, what is the probability that their pups will have long hair, medium hair, or short hair? L = long hair allele l = short hair allelearrow_forward
- A particular gene in dogs contributes to coat color. The two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance. Dogs with genotype mm have normal pigmentation; genotype Mm leads to “dilute” pigmentation; genotype MM produces an all-white dog. If a breeder mates a normal dog with a white dog, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the puppies? If two Mm dogs are mated, what is the probability that a puppy will be white?arrow_forwardChoose one plsarrow_forward(C) To determine the recombination frequency between these 2 genes, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 from part (a) with a yellow- bodied, crinkled-wing fly.
