1) What is meant by epistasis? The natural colouration of wild mice is called agouti and is produced from banded hairs. Two genes are involved, each with a dominant (A and B) and a recessive allele (a and b). The allele A codes for the ability to produce hair pigment: AA and Aa mice have pigmented hairs but all aa individuals are albinos. The B allele codes for the ability to make hair with grduated colouration: BB and Bb mice have graduated hair, bb mice have hair that is all one colour which is black.

Q17. In a dog breed, a gene B coding for fur color has a dominant allele B for black fur. Gene B has a recessive allele b that produces brown fur. A second gene I, has a dominant allele I that is epistatic to the color locus and can inhibit pigment formation. Gene I has a recessive allele, i, on that permits pigment deposition in the fur. Note: the inhibition of pigment formation by the epistatic allele I causes the fur to be white.

17. 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. Given the inheritance pattern of coat color in rats described in Problem 17, predict the genotype and phenotype of the parents who produced the following offspring: (c) 27/64 gray: 16/64 albino: 9/64 yellow: 9/64 black: 3/64 cream

Part 1 In potatoes, skin colour is determined by the interaction of the P and Y loci, each of which has two alleles. A dominant P allele together with a dominant Y allele (P_Y_) result in a brown skin, while a potato homozygous recessive at both loci has a green skin. All other genotypes produce a yellow skin colour. a) What is the genetic relationship between the two alleles at the P locus, and between the two loci that influence skin colour? b) You cross a PPYY plant is crossed with a PpYy plant.

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IAlB, and IAalleles. The allele encodes the A blood group antigen, lBencodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: multiple alleles and incomplete dominance codominance and incomplete dominance incomplete dominance only multiple alleles and codominance
