Question

Q. 3: In rats, the following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine

coat color

A–B– (gray

A–bb (yellow

aaB– (black

aabb (cream

A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whether or not any color will be produced

The CC and Cc genotypes allow color according to the expression of the A and B alleles

However, the cc genotype results in albino rats regardless of the A and B alleles present

Determine the F1 phenotypic ratio of the following crosses

(a) AAbbCC × aaBBc

(b) AaBBCC × AABbc

(c) AaBbCc × AaBbc

(d) AaBBCc × AaBBC

(e) AABbCc × AABbc

Q. 4: Given the inheritance pattern of coat color in rats described in Q 3, predict the genotyp

and phenotype of the parents who produced the following offspring

(a) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 3/16 black: 1/16 crea

(b) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 4/16 albin

(c) 27/64 gray: 16/64 albino: 9/64 yellow: 9/64 black: 3/64 cream

(d) 3/8 black: 3/8 cream: 2/8 albino

(e) 3/8 black: 4/8 albino: 1/8 cream
