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?

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...

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...

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...

A dog breeder has a female black Labrador Retriever that was one of a litter of puppies from a mating of a yellow lab with a brown lab. If he breeds this dog with a black stud that is also from a mating between a yellow lab and a brown lab, what phenotypes and ratio which you expect among the puppies. (The answer is 9 black, 3 brown and 4 yellow. I just don't know how to get these answers)....

In a cross between 2 black Horses a phenotypic ration of 9 black young, 3 brown young and 4 blond young is observed. Knowing that coat color is determined by two separate, independently segregating loci, what phenomena most likely explains this distribution?

#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...

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...

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...

You cross a Drosophila female with kidney-shaped and brown eyes with a male that has wildtype eye shape and color. Kidney-shaped eyes are found in females that are heterozygous for the bar eyed mutation. Bar eyed females are homozygous for the bar eyed mutant allele, whereas bar eyed males are hemizygous for the mutation. Brown eyes are an autosomal recessive mutation. Attention: Half of the resulting F1 has brown eyes! Would you expect to see bar eyed females in the...
