Incomplete Dominance: 1) On the planet Iota Geminorum IV there exists a small hairy animal known as a tribble. It comes in three colors blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus with incompletre dominance. A homozygous CBCB is blue, a homozygous CRCR is red, and a heterozygous CBCR is purple.
a. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring if a blue tribble were crossed with a red one?
b. If the offspring in #1 were crossed what would the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be of this generation?
In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry.
What is the phenotype of the male parent?
What is the phenotype of the female parent?

Solve the following genetic problems involving incomplete dominance. You
must pick the right letter to represent the gene in the question. You must show
your work using the Punnett square.
15. A rooster with grey feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their
offspring 15 chicks are grey, 6 are black and 8 are white.
a. What is the simplest explanation for the inheritance of these colors in chickens?
b. What offspring would you expect from the mating of a grey rooster and a black hen?

A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens with a male cat with a II genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short hair? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.arrow_forwardIn rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c); heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted. Predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring from a heterozygous black-coated rabbit and a homozygous white-coated rabbit.arrow_forward
- The dominance pattern of a gene can be determined from the phenotypes of the parents and offspring. In the examples below, assume that each parent is homozygous for the specific allele and that the progeny are heterozygous. Classify each example as either complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or codominance. Complete dominance Incomplete dominance Codominance Answer Bank A black sheep and a white sheep produce a gray lamb. A white cow and a red bull have a calf that is white with red spots (roan colored). A mother with type A blood and a father with type B blood have a daughter with type AB blood. A pea plant with all purple flowers and a pea plant with all white flowers produce a pea plant with all purple flowers. A moth with red wings and a moth with yellow wings produce a moth with orange wings.arrow_forwarda. In mice, dark coat color is dominant over albino and short hair is dominant over long hair. Assume that these two traits are caused by two independently assorting genes. Hair color is determined by the (D/d) alleles. Hair length is caused by the (S/s) alleles. Two mice are crossed and result in the following progeny: 20 short-haired, dark mice and 21 short-haired, albino mice. What is the most likely genotype for the parents? b. The researcher who is counting the mice suddenly realizes that the trait is probably X-linked as all the albino mice are one sex and all the dark mice are theoppositesex. What can you conclude about the 2 parental mice with regard to the hair color trait?arrow_forwardIn guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant. If all the guinea pigs are born short haired what are the possible genotypes of the parents? (There are two possible combinations.) Show the answers with punnett squarearrow_forward
- Imagine you have a blood group of "X" which is recessive and expressed by xx. The dominant blood groups are Y and Z, where homozygous of these alleles are expressed as YY and ZZ, respectively. What will be the genotype of your parents blood group? Why? Please explain in your own words. [Max 200 words]arrow_forwardIn the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of 4 alleles: C (full color), ck (sepia), cd (cream), or ca (albino). The order of dominance is C > ck > cd > ca. A sepia pig was crossed with a cream pig, where the sepia pig had 2 full-color parents & the cream pig had 2 sepia parents. One of the piglets from this cross was albino. What phenotypic ratio is expected from this cross? A) All sepia piglets B) 1/2 full color : 1/4 sepia : 1/4 cream piglets C) 1/2 cream : 1/2 albino piglets D) 1/2 sepia : 1/4 cream : 1/4 albino piglets E) 3/4 sepia & 1/4 cream piglets F) All cream piglets G) 1/2 sepia : 1/2 cream pigletsarrow_forwardIn domestic cats, the dominant allele A encodes pigmented fur and the recessive allele a encodes white fur. Two cats with Aa genotypes have a litter of kittens. For each kitten, what is the probability that the kitten has pigmented fur? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett square.arrow_forward
