In chickens, comb appearance is controlled be a specific gene that can occur in dominant form (R), or a recessive form (r). The coloration of feathers in these organisms is controlled by a separate gene that can occur in dominant form, (C), or a recessive form (c). The following table shows the allele codes for each trait. R = Rose Comb r = single comb C = colored feathers c = white feathers If a male chicken with RrCc genotype is crossed with a female with a rrCc genotype, what is the probability of an offspring having a rose comb and colored feathers?

n an example of recessive epistasis the deposition of pigment into hair follicles of the Labrador Retriever is governed by a dominant gene (C) and lack of deposition by its recessive allele (c). Lack of pigment deposition produces a yellow coat color. The color of pigment is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene, the dominant allele (B) produces black pigment and its recessive allele (b) produces brown. What coat color ratio is expected from the cross of a brown dog (bbCc) to a black dog (BbCc)? 1/2 brown, 1/2 black 1/4 black, 1/4 brown, 1/2 yellow 1/2 black, 1/4 brown, 1/4 yellow 3/8 black, 1/8 brown, 1/2 yellow 3/8 black, 3/8 brown, 1/4 yellow
In rabbits, fur colour can be either grey, black or blotchy. Blotchy is present as grey and black spotspresent in no specific pattern. Males are almost always either grey or black, while females can begrey, black or blotchy. However, a male individual is found that shows the blotchy pattern, and youexpect a non-disjunction event might be to blame. Explain the inheritance of coat colour in rabbits,and also provide an explanation for the blotchy male.
In chickens the dominant gene (S) produces a pea-shaped crest and its recessive allele (s) produces a simple crest. The Andalusian condition (AA *) is an intermediate expression of the genes for black (A) and white (A *) Write the Genotype of a White Hen with a simple crest
In chickens, a dominant hereditary abnormality (e.g., creepers) causes death when the genotype is homozygous (CC). The recessive condition (cc) at this locus produces a normal phenotype. Another gene locus with co dominant alleles is known to govern feather color such that the genotype FF = black, ff = splashed white, and Ff = blue. Also, a completely dominant gene W produces white skin. Yellow skin is produced by the homozygous genotype ww. QUESTIONS: In CcFfWw x ccffWw, what proportion of the offspring is: b.2 normal, white feathered, white skinned b.3 yellow skinned
Let’s look at hair texture. Some people have curly hair, some have straight hair and some express a traitthat is in-between (Incomplete Dominance), or wavy hair. Therefore curly and straight are bothhomozygous and wavy is the expression of the heterozygous condition. Instead of using capital and lowercase letters, we’ll add a prime (`) to the letter. This is because one is not dominant over the other, andthey will both contribute to the phenotype. We can use H to indicate curly hair and H` to indicate straighthair.Given this information, complete the square: Parent Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) 1 Curly hair HH 2 Straight hair H'H' Do you remember where the alleles of each parent go?Parents: Offspring: Genotypes: Phenotypes: What are the potential phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring?
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
n pea plants, the appearance of flowers along the main stem is a dominant phenotype called axial and is controlled by the T allele. The recessive phenotype, produced by the E t allele, has flowers only at the end of the stem and is called terminal. Seedpod form iS determined by a second gene. The dominant phenotype inflated is controlled by allele C, and a recessive constricted form, produced by allele c. A pure breeding axial, constricted plant is crossed to one that is pure-breeding terminal, inflated. A. The F1 progeny of this cross are allowed to self-fertilize. What is the expected distribution of phenotypic classes among the F2 progeny? -> TTcc t난 CC x Et 1:2:1
In a species of plant, two genes control flower color. The redallele (R) is dominant to the white allele (r); the color-producingallele (C) is dominant to the non-color-producing allele (c). Yoususpect that either an rr homozygote or a cc homozygote willproduce white flowers. In other words, rr is epistatic to C, andcc is epistatic to R. To test your hypothesis, you allowed heterozygousplants (RrCc) to self-fertilize and counted the phenotypesof the offspring. You obtained the following data: 201 plantswith red flowers and 144 with white flowers. Conduct a chisquare test to see if your observed data are consistent with yourhypothesis.
In domestic cats, the allele (L) is a dominant allele for short-hair trait. The recessive allele for long hair is (I). A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens with a male cat with a II genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short hair? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.
Scurs is an example of a sex-influenced traitin cattle that is dominant in males and recessive in females.A male and a female, neither of which has scurs, producea male offspring with scurs. What are the genotypes of theparents?
Suppose a geneticist is using a three-point test cross to map three linked rabbit morphology and behavioral mutations called si, sf, and H. The gene si is associated with the silky fur phenotype, and sf is associated with the short-footed phenotype. Both si and sf are recessive mutations with respect to wild type. H is a dominant mutation that confers the hyper phenotype. The geneticist first crosses true-breeding hyper rabbits to true-breeding silky fur, short-footed rabbits. Next, the geneticist backcrosses the F₁ progeny to the silky fur, short-footed parents, and obtains the results reported in the table. Phenotype hyper silky fur, short-footed short-footed silky fur, hyper silky fur short-footed, hyper silky fur, short-footed, hyper wild type Place the genes in the correct order in the chromosome.

White fruit color in summer squash is dependent on a dominant gene (W) and colored fruit to the recessive gene (w). In the presence of ww a dominant gene produces yellow color, but when D is not present, the color is green. Give the F2 phenotypes and the proportions expected from crossing (show the diagram) a white-fruited (WWDD) with a green-fruited (wwdd) plant.
