Skin color in Bulbasaurs?

There are two alleles for skin color in Bulbasaurs (diploid organisms). Bulbasaur ‘Vector’ is homozygous recessive and he has marine blue skin. Bulbasaur ‘Aria’ is heterozygous (having green and marine blue alleles), but green is dominant and so she has green skin. They have a cute son ‘Kim’ with marine blue skin. Kim mates with a female Bulbasaur who is heterozygous and they have a litter of 28 baby bulbasaurs.

1)) Draw two Punnett squares: (1) for Vector and Aria, and (2) for their son and his mate

2) How many (quantity, not percentage) of Vector’s grandchildren would we expect to have green skin? (Show all work)

a. In a pea plant, leaf color is controlled by a gene with two alleles: a dominant allele G for green leaves, and a recessive allele g for yellow leaves. A researcher crossed a plant with green leaves with a plant with yellow leaves. All the resulting offspring had green leaves. What were the genotypes of the two parental plants? (5 points) b. Explain briefly what is a bottleneck effect and give two examples (the examples can be imaginary). (5 points)

In a population of mice, coat color is controlled by a gene locus with two alleles, B and W. BB mice are brown, BW are tan and WW mice are white. What is this type of inheritance called? In this population there are 20 brown mice 15 tan mice and 30 white mice. Calculate p and q for this population where p = the allele frequency of B and q = the allele frequency of W.

The coat color in mink is controlled by two codominant alleles at a single locus. Red coat color is produced by the genotype R1R1, silver coat by the genotype R1R2, and platinum color by R2R2. White spotting of the coat is a recessive trait found with the genotype ss. Solid coat color is found with the S- genotype. Two crosses are made between mink. Cross 1 is the cross of a solid, silver mink to one that is solid, platinum....

Humans and many other organisms are diploid, possessing two sets of genes, one from the mother and the other from the father. However, a number of eukaryotic organisms spend most of their life cycles in a haploid state. Ex. Neurospora undergoes meiosis and sexual reproduction, but most of the cells comprising Neurospora are haploid. Considering that haploid organisms are fully capable of sexual reproduction and generating genetic variation, why are most complex eukaryotes diploid? What might be the evolutionary advantage...
