In mice the allele for blue coat color (B) pink coat color (b). The allele for long tail (T) is dominant of the allele for short tail (t).

1) If alleles of the two genes Assort Independently, what types of gametes will BbTt mice produce? What is the expected frequency of each gamete among all gametes produced?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Since the alleles of two genes assort independently means that the assortment of genes of one pair doesn't depend upon the other gene pair during the process of gametogenesis. This results in production of offspring with new combination of characters.

BbTt will produce 4 different type of gametes having one allele of each of the gene(gametes are haploid) so the different gametes possible are BT, Bt, bt, bT. Because there is equal probability( 1/2)that the gamete will recieve one allele of one gene(coat color) and another allele of the second gene(tail) By multiplication rule (1/2 for blue/pink * 1/2 for long tail or short tail) = 1/4 frequency of each type of gamete.

Please rate my answer positively if u got your doubt solved. It will help me a lot.

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 Triskelian cats, in the Blondish Galaxy, black coat color is dominant over grey. Coat color is determined by a single autosomal gene with two alleles: B = black coat color; b = grey coat color. The autosomal gene for eye color is hypothesized to assort independently from the gene for coat color. The two alleles are: R = green eye color; r = blue eye color. If a green-eyed black female cat whose mother has a grey coat and...
