Chapter 2, Problem 47P
Domestic dogs evolved from ancestral grey wolves. Wolves have coats of short, straight hair and lack “fur-nishings,” a growth pattern marked by eyebrows and a mustache found in some domestic dogs. In domestic dogs, coat variation is controlled by allelic variation in three genes. Recessive mutant alleles in the FGF5 gene result in long hair, while dogs carrying the dominant ancestral allele have short hair. Likewise, recessive mutant alleles in the KRT71 gene result in curly hair, whereas dogs with an ancestral dominant allele have straight hair. Dominant mutant alleles in the RSPO2 gene cause the presence of furnishings, while dogs homozygous for the ancestral recessive allele have no furnishings.
A pure-breeding curly-and long-haired poodle with furnishings was crossed to a pure-breeding short-and straight-haired border collie lacking furnishings.

Suppose a geneticist is using a three-point test cross to map three linked rabbit morphology and behavioral mutations called si,
It, and Le. The gene si is associated with the silky fur phenotype, and It is associated with the long-tailed phenotype. Both si and
It are recessive mutations with respect to wild type. Le is a dominant mutation that confers the lethargic phenotype.
The geneticist first crosses true-breeding lethargic rabbits to true-breeding silky fur, long-tailed rabbits. Next, the geneticist
backcrosses the Fj progeny to the silky fur, long-tailed parents, and obtains the results reported in the table.

Certainly, not all Muppets look like the one shown in the picture below, nor do they all look the same. In fact, there’s a great deal of phenotypic variation in Muppets. Two traits that have been particularly well-studied are curly hair presences and skin color.
One individual is a male, and he possesses a green skin and no hair, whereas the female individual possess a curly hair and pink skin. Let’s call the gene controlling skin coloration S and that controlling hair H. In this species, both hair and green skin are recessive traits. Both of the individuals shown are homozygous.

Several loci affect hair development in dogs. The allele for wire hair (W) is dominant to Its
allele for straight hair (w). Allow H to represent hairlessness in the Mexican hairless dog and
its recessive allele h to represent the gene for typical hair growth in other breeds. The
Mexican hairless dog is homozygous for straight hair, but because of epistatic effects of H,
alleles for hair formation cannot be expressed. Write genotypes of the following animals
with respect to the two loci mentioned.
a.) a Mexican hairless dog
b.) a dog with straight hair
c.) a dog from a strain that is pure breeding for wire hair.

- Spoink is a Pokemon character with a spring tail. It must bounce continuously or it will die. Imagine that the spring in the tail is controlled by a single gene with two alleles T and t. Individuals with the genotype TT have very stiff tails that take a lot of energy to bounce, Tt have just the right amount of spring, and those with tt tails have very floppy tails that deform after long periods of bouncing, making it very difficult to continue bouncing. The genotype frequency in this population is: TT=25% Tt=70% tt=5% Part A: The frequency of the t allele in the population is ___%. The expected frequency of the Tt genotype in the population is ___%.
