Color of chickens is determined by interacting loci: AA or Aa give white, aaBB or aaBb give colored, and aabb produces white. What are the phenotypic frequencies of the offspring from a cross between two fully heterozygous chickens?

Group of answer choice

15 white : 1 colored

13 white : 3 colored

12 white : 4 colored

9 white : 7 colored

none of the above

2. The color of chickens is determined by interacting loci: AA or Aa give white, aaBB or aaBb give colored, and aabb produces white. Describes the epistatic interactions occuring between these two genes?

Group of answer choices

aa is epistatic to B_, bb and B_ is epistatic to A_, aa

aa is epistatic to B_, bb and bb is epistatic to A_, aa

A_ is epistatic to B_, bb and B_ is epistatic to A_, aa

A_ is epistatic to B_, bb and bb is epistatic to A_, aa

none of the above

Expert Solution

Frequency of white phenotype = 13/16×100 = 81.25%

Frequency of colored phenotype =3/16×100=18.75%

The group of answer choice is 13white : 3 colored

Epistatic interactions occurs when two or more different gene influences the outcome of a single trait. Epistasis is a phenomenon where the presence of one gene changes the effects of another gene.

The presence of the dominant allele (A) of "A" gene suppresses the effects of both the allele of "B" gene. So it is dominant epistasis.

A gene is called as epistatic when its presence suppresses the effects of another gene in another locus.

None of the aboveoptions are correct.

Here, A_ is epistatic to B_,bb and B_ is epistatic to aa.

Many of the color varieties of summer squash are determined by sev eral interacting loci: Wildtype squash are white, a recessive allele, a, causes yellow squash, while another recessive allele b, causes green squash. a) How would you test if these alleles are mutations in the same gene? And what result would you expect if they are not in the same gene. b) You do a cross to determine the relationship between genes A and genes B. You find B...

PART A) The color of tulips can be determined by the interaction of 2 loci. Tulips can be pigmented red (controlled by a dominant allele, R) or yellow (r). The second locus has a dominant white allele (W), which inhibits pigment resulting in white tulips and a recessive allele (w) which results in colored petals. Consider the cross of a true breeding yellow tulip with a true breeding white tulip that is heterozygous recessive at the pigmented locus. Show work...

In mice the loci for tail length, fur color and whisker shape are found on the same chromosome. Long tails (T) are dominant to short tails (t), brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) and straight whisker (S) are dominant to curled whiskers (s). Mice that were homozygous dominant for all three characters were crossed with mice homozygous recessive for all three characters and all of the offspring had long tails, brown fur and straight whiskers. These F1...

In chickens, silver and gold feathering is determined by a single pair of alleles as is slow and rapid feather development. True-breeding males that were silver, slow feathered were crossed with true-breeding females that were gold, fast feathered. All F1 were silver, slow feathered. The F2 phenotypes were as follows: 300 male progeny were silver, slow feathered; 120 females were silver, slow feathered; 123 females were gold, rapid feathered 35 females were silver, rapid feathered; and 32 females were gold,...

In Labrador retrievers coat color is controlled by two independently assorting loci. The B locus controls hair color; black (B) is dominant to chocolate (b). A second locus, E, allows for deposition of the color on the hairs. The homozygous recessive condition at this locus (ee) produces a yellow dog, regardless of whether the animal is BB, Bb, or bb. You discover that your female yellow Labrador is pregnant, and she delivers a litter of 5 black puppies, 2 chocolate...
