In: Biology
Rabbits can come in an allelic series where brown > himilayan > chinchilla > albino, where > means dominant over. They also can come in long (recessive) and short fur. You wish to obtain rabbit babies that are albino with long fur. Draw the allelic cross
The allele for hair length is
SS ( HOMOZYGOUS) Ss( heterozygous) = short hair
ss( homozygous ) = long hair
SHORT HAIR IS DOMINANT OVER LONG HAIR
There are multiple allele for rabbit fur Colour : that is brown - CC DOMINANT OVER ALL ALLELE
HIMALAYAN = CH DOMINANT OVER CHINCHILLA AND ALBINO
CHINCHILLA = CCH DOMINANT OVER ALBINO
ALBINO= cc
TO OBTAIN RABBIT WITH ALBINO AND LONG FUR WILL HAVE GENOTYPE ccss indicating both parent must have one c and s allele
Suppose the parents genotype are CcSs X CcSs
PARENT PHENOTYPE BROWN SMALL HAIR BROWN SMALL HAIR
PARENT GAMETE CS,Cs, cS.cs CS,Cs, cS.cs
MALE | |||||
CS | Cs | cS | cs | ||
FEMALE | CS | CCSS (BROWN SHORT) | CCSs (BROWN SHORT) | CcSS (BROWN SHORT | CcSs(BROWN SHORT) |
Cs | CCSs (BROWN SHORT) | CCss (BROWN LONG) | CcSs (BROWN SHORT) | Ccss (BROWN LONG) | |
cS | CcSS (BROWN SHORT) | CcSs (BROWN SHORT | ccSS (BLACK SHORT) | ccSs BLACK SHORT) | |
cs | CcSs (BROWN SHORT | Ccss (BROWN LONG) | ccSs ( BLACK SHORT) | (BROWN SHORT) |
NOTE : BLACK ALBINO CAN ALSO BE OBTAIN FROM CROSSING ANY OF BOTH PARENT WITH HAVING EITHER HETEROZYGOUS ALLELE FOR DOMINANT PHENOTYPE OR HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE PHENOTYPE WHICH INCLUDE FOLLOWING
CCHc Ss (CHINCHILLA SHORT HAIR )
Chc Ss (HIMALAYAN SHORT HAIR)
Cc Ss ( BROWN SHORT HAIR )
cc Ss ( BLACK SHORT HAIR )
CCHcss (CHINCHILLA LONG HAIR
Chc ss (HIMALAYAN LONG HAIR )
Cc ss (BROWN LONG HAIR )
cc Ss ( BLACK LONG HAIR )
