A horse breeder for the Kentucky Derby recently noticed that one of his female horses gave birth to an offspring, a daughter horse, that had several desirable traits to be a successful racing horse. The offspring had a well-chiseled head on a long neck, high withers, a deep chest, a short back, good depth of hindquarters, a lean body, and long legs. The farmer would like to identify which male horse is the offspring’s father for selective breeding purposes. He asks a local university to run a DNA fingerprint with DNA samples from the mother, offspring, and the four male horses on the farm.
In shorthorn cattle, a roan cow mated with a roan bull always produces red, white, and roan claves in the ration of one red: two roan: one white. (Roan is produced by an even mixture of red and white hairs). If a breeder of shorthorn cattle has cows which are white and a bull which is roan:
What proportion of the claves produced in his herd will be white?
What proportion of the calves produced in his herd will be roan?
What proportion of the calves produced in his herd will be red?
Starting with a roan bull and white cows, as explained above, could you eventually establish a true-breeder red herd? Explain.
In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant over yellow, two-loculed fruit is dominant over many-loculed fruit, and tallvine is dominant over dwarf. A breeder has two purelines: (1) red, two-loculed, dwarf and (2) yellow, manyloculed, tall. From these two lines, he wants to produce anew pure line for trade that is yellow, two-loculed, andtall. How exactly should he go about doing so? Show notonly which crosses to make, but also how many progenyshould be sampled in each case.

- A dog breeder liked yellow and brown Labrador retrievers. In an attempt to produce yellow and brown puppies, he mated a yellow Labrador male and a brown Labrador female.

At a salamander convention, she purchased a single red salamander from a breeder who told her the red color was an autosomal recessive trait. Describe a breeding program Farah could use to establish a strain of all red salamanders to sell. Include the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of offspring in each generation (F1, F2, etc.). You may assume that Farah can get hundreds of offspring from each mated pair, and that it's ethically okay for sibling salamanders to mate.arrow_forwardIn shorthorn cattle, a roan cow mated with a roan bull always produces red, white, and roan claves in the ration of one red: two roan: one white.

- Horses can be cremello (a light cream color), chestnut (a reddish-brown color), or palomino (a golden color with white in the mane and tail). Of these phenotypes, only palominos never breed true. The following results have been observed: Cremello x palomino > 50% cremello, 50% palomino Chestnut x palomino > 50% chestnut, 50% palomino Palomino x palomino > 25% chestnut, 50% palomino, 25% cremello From these results, determine the appropriate allele symbols and indicate which genotypes lead to which phenotypes. Predict the F1 and F2 phenotype ratios of a cremello x chestnut P generation cross.arrow_forwardboth images go together for the questionarrow_forwardMendel obtained his initial pea plant varieties from local breeders who were developing new varieties that might be useful or interesting. To generate these new varieties, breeders formed hybrids between existing varieties of different phenotypic characteristics by cross pollination, using techniques they doubtless taught to Mendel. After producing a hybrid, they allowed several generations of self-pollination, as happens naturally if the flowers are not disturbed. a. How many generations would it take for a breeder to have produced new pure-breeding varieties using this approach? b. What is the probability that an individual in each of these generations (F2, F3, and F10) would be homozygous for one or the other allele of this gene?arrow_forward

A black pacer mated to a brown trotter produces a black trotter offspring. What is the genotype for this offspring.arrow_forwardErma and Harvey were a compatible barnyard pair, but a curious sight. Harvey’s tail was only 6 cm long, while Erma’s was 30 cm. Their F1 piglet offspring all grew tails that were 18 cm. When inbred, an F2 generation resulted in many piglets (Erma and Harvey’s grandpigs), whose tails ranged in 4-cm intervals from 6 to 30 cm (6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30). Most had 18-cm tails, while 1/64 had 6-cm tails and 1/64 had 30-cm tails. (a) Explain how these tail lengths were inherited by describing the mode of inheritance, indicating how many gene pairs were at work, and designating the genotypes of Harvey, Erma, and their 18-cm-tail offspring. (b) If one of the 18-cm-tail F1 pigs is mated with one of the 6-cm-tail F2 pigs, what phenotypic ratio will be predicted if many offspring resulted? Diagram the cross.arrow_forward
