Mendelian genetics predict that in Labrador retrievers (a type of dog), 25% should have brown coat color if both parents are heterozygous (the rest are black). You mate two parents and get a litter of 8 puppies. Calculate the following:

a) The probability of 6 black puppies.

b) The probability of 3 brown puppies.

c) The probability that 50% of the puppies will be brown.

(Comment: You do not need to know anything about genetics to solve this problem. If you're trying to do things like use punnet squares, you're doing things wrong)

Labrador retrievers are black, brown, or yellow. In a cross of a black female with a brown male, results can be all black puppies, 1/2 black to 1/2 brown puppies, or 3/4 black to 1/4 yellow puppies. What is/are the genotype(s) that results in the black phenotype, brown phenotype, and yellow phenotype?

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...

Labrador retriever dogs have three coat colors: black, brown and yellow. The color of the pigment deposited in the hairs is determined by a gene with two alleles (B or b). The B allele codes for black pigment and is dominant to the b allele which codes for brown. Another gene with two alleles (E or e) determines if the pigment created will be deposited into the hairs. If both copies (ee) are recessive, no pigment will be deposited (regardless...

In Labrador retrievers, there are 3 gene products involved in determining coat color: gene product B, gene product E, and gene product C. B produces a melanin pigment such that B/B and B/b will produce a black lab while b/b (with less melanin produced) will result in a chocolate lab. However, for the B gene to be expressed, a signaling hormone (gene E product) must be produced to activate transcription of the B gene. E is fully dominant to e (loss of function mutation). In...

1- Labrador retrievers can be one of three colours: black, chocolate brown, and yellow. The proportion of puppies born with each coat colour can be predicted by the genotypes of the parents. One set of parents produced 50 puppies (in six litters), and we've recorded the observed numbers of puppies with each coat color. We only know the coat colours of the parents and not their exact genotype at the locus determining coat colour, and we want to test our...

#1. You have two pure-bred dog strains of Labrador retriever: Yellow (BBee) and Brown (bbEE). You friend wants to have a pure-bred puppy with black coat color. Let’s assume this set of coat color variations follows recessive epistasis with the allele ‘ee’ masking B or b. A) provide breeding schemes B) after breeding experiments, provide a scheme of identifying the pure-bred one with black color. Also, what is the frequency of the pure-bred one among the black puppies. #2. In...
