Nail color in the North American sasquatch is controlled by a single gene with 2 alleles....

Nail color in the North American sasquatch is controlled by a single gene with 2 alleles. The completely recessive allele (n) results in a yellow nail, while the dominant allele (N) results in a black nail. A female sasquatch with black nails mates with a male sasquatch with yellow nails. Two of their 5 offspring have yellow nails.

            a. What are the genotypes of the male and female sasquatch? How do you know?

B. Suppose one of the yellow-nailed offspring mates with a black-nailed sasquatch. All of their offspring have black nails. What are the probable genotypes of both parental sasquatches and their offspring? How do you know?

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?

  Suppose that a particular gene that controls coat color in dogs is controlled by four alleles in the population. These alleles are called cch (chinchilla dog), cd (white dog with dark eyes), cb (pale gray dog) and c (albino dog). The alleles are given from the most dominant to the most recessive. Let’s assume that a particular population of these dogs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele frequencies for our four alleles are: cch = 0.37 cd = 0.23 cb...

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....
