In horses, black coat (B) is dominant over brown coat (b), and being a trotter (T) is dominant over being a pacer (t). A heterozygous black coat, trotter male and a heterozygous black coat, trotter female are crossed. Complete the Punnett Square and determine the phenotypes of their potential offspring.

Phenotypes: _________________________________________________

In pea plants, the gene for round seed (R) is dominant, and wrinkled seeds (r) are recessive. The endosperm of the pea is also either starchy, a dominant gene (S), or waxy (s). Complete the Punnett Square and determine the phenotypes of the offspring when RrSs and rrss parents are crossed.

Phenotypes: __________________________________________________

In guinea pugs, B = black coat, b = brown coat, S = short hair, s = long hair. Complete the Punnett Square and determine the phenotypes of the offspring when BBSS and bbss parents are crossed.

In dogs, the allele for black coat color (B) is dominant to the allele for brown coat color (b). But if a dog has two copies of the recessive allele for a pigment-depositing gene (e), it can only have yellow coat color. In a cross of two doubly heterozygous black dogs (BbEe x BbEe), what fraction of the next generation would we expect to be yellow? WHY? a.1/8 b.1/4 c.2/3 d.3/16

In Triskelian cats, in the Blondish Galaxy, black coat color is dominant over grey. Coat color is determined by a single autosomal gene with two alleles: B = black coat color; b = grey coat color. The autosomal gene for eye color is hypothesized to assort independently from the gene for coat color. The two alleles are: R = green eye color; r = blue eye color. If a green-eyed black female cat whose mother has a grey coat and...

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b). Normal length fur is determined by a dominant gene (R) and a short “rex” by the recessive allele (r). Draw a cross between a homozygous black with homozygous normal length fur and a brown rex rabbit. Do a cross of the F1 generation to determine the phenotypes and genotypes of the F2 generation.

QUESTION 1 In mice, an allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant over an allele for apricot eyes (b). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for tan coat color (t) is recessive to an allele for black coat color (T). A mouse that is homozygous for brown eyes and black coat is crossed with a mouse having apricot eyes and a tan coat. The resulting F1 mice are crossed to produce the F2. a. Diagram the cross, including the...

In rats, gene B produces black coat color if the genotype is B-, but black pigment is not produced if the genotype is bb. At an independent locus, gene D produces yellow pigment if the genotype is D-, but no pigment is produced when the genotype is dd. Production of both pigments results in brown coat color. If neither pigment is produced, coat color is cream. A third independently assorting gene involved in determination of coat color in rats is...
