In elephants, the allele for the prehensile trunk, T is dominant over the allele for a non-grasping trunk, t; the allele for floppy ears, E is dominant over the allele for pointy ears, e; and the allele for pointy tusks, P is dominant over the allele for blunt tusks.

If you were to cross a trihybrid elephant with a pure-breeding elephant with a prehensile trunk, pointy ears, and blunt tusks, what proportion of the offspring would have a genotype of TtEepp?

Please show your work

a) 0 (that genotype cannot be formed by this cross)

b) 1/8

c) 1/4

d) 1/2

e) 9/16

In sheep, an allele for fine wool(F) is dominant over an allele for coarse wool (F). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for black hooves(B) is dominant over an allele for white hooves (b). A ewe that is homozygous for fine wool and black hooves is crossed with a ram that has coarse wool and whites hooves. The offspring are inbred to each other (F1 offspring cross) producing the F2 generation

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 a population of mealybugs the dominant allele (G) frequency for an allele controlling fluffiness is 0.75. Selection is acting upon this locus such that the fitness values are gg=0.4, Gg=1, and GG=0.027. Simulate selection in the population by calculating gentoype frequencies following selection, and calculating allele frequencies from those genotype frequencies. a. State which genotype is being favored by selection. b. Give the normalized/corrected genotype frequency for gg following selection. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth (e.g., 0.123)...

Flower color in pea plants exhibits complete dominance as the purple allele is completely dominant over the white alleles. A) Out of 276 pea plants, 273 have purple flowers. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, calculate the Expected allele frequencies. B) A group of students counts 552 pea plants. Based on the expected allele frequencies, how many should have purple flowers and how many should have white flowers?

In elephants, pink skin is due to the mutant allele g, which is recessive to the wild-type allele G, which gives grey skin. The curly tail phenotype is due to the mutant allele t, which is recessive to the wild-type allele T, which gives a straight tail. The two genes are located close together on the same chromosome. An elephant that is heterozygous for both genes was crossed to a pink, curly tailed elephant, and the following progeny were observed:...
