Chapter 2, Problem 4P
In mice, black coat color is dominant to white coat color. In the pedigree shown here, mice with a black coat are represented by darkened symbols, and those with white coats are shown as open symbols. Using allele symbols B and b, determine the genotypes for each mouse.

The pedigree concerns eye phenotypes in Tribolium beetles. The solid symbols represent black eyes, the open symbols represent
brown eyes, and the cross symbols (X) represent the "eyeless" phenotype, in which eyes are totally absent.
Assume that these three phenotypes are the result of three alleles of a single gene, E, where E' is black, g? is brown, and
is eyeless.
Assign a genotype to each individual in generation II.

In guinea pigs, black fur is dominant over brown fur, and short hair is dominant over long hair. These traits follow Mendelian inheritance. Suppose a homozygous short black hair is mated with a homozygous long brown haired rabbit, determine the phenotypic ratio of the following: F1 generation; F2 generation; F1 mated with a short brown haired rabbit.
Gene Notation: B - hair color , S - hair length
In rabbits, the gene for fur color is multiallelic. Agouti (C) is dominant to chinchilla (Cch), chinchillas is dominant to himalaya (Ch), and himalaya is dominant to albino (c). Determine the genotypes of each corresponding phenotypes. Please show the solution.
