Chapter 2, Problem 12P
A male mouse with brown fur color is mated to two different female mice with black fur. Black female 1 produces a litter of 9 black and 7 brown pups. Black female 2 produces 14 black pups.
a. What is the mode of inheritance of black and brown fur color in mice?
b. Choose symbols for each allele, and identify the genotypes of the brown male and the two black females.

In 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.
In cats, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b). Also, striped fur (A) is dominant over solid
colored fur (a).
What is the phenotype of a cat with the genotype Bbaa?
What combinations of gametes could the Bbaa cat make?
If the Bbaa cat mated with a cat that was heterozygous for both the color and pattern genes, what
fraction of their kittens would be likely to have solid brown fur? Hint: draw your square on a
separate paper to figure it out.
In labrador retrievers an allele B codes for black pigment and b codes for brown. A second gene E is responsible for deposition of pigment into the hair follicle. The e allele results in the blockage of pigment deposition.
a. What fraction of yellow puppies would you predict to be born in a cross between a yellow labrador Bbee and a Black labrador BbEe?
b. What color is a labrador with the genotype bbEe?
