1. In rabbits, coat color is affected by a series of alleles with a hierarchy of dominance such that C+> C>C> c. Each allele is dominant over all the alleles listed to its right. C+ codes for full color, Coh codes for chinchilla, C codes for himalayan (white with black extremities) and small c codes for albino. A chinchilla rabbit is mated to a himalayan rabbit. Each of these rabbits has one albino parent. What are the phenotypes of the offspring and the probability that each will be produced?

1. In rabbits, coat color is affected by a series of alleles with a hierarchy of
dominance such that C+> Ch>Ch> c. Each allele is dominant over all the alleles
listed to its right. C+ codes for full color, Ceh codes for chinchilla, Ch codes for
himalayan (white with black extremities) and small c codes for albino. A chinchilla
rabbit is mated to a himalayan rabbit. Each of these rabbits has one albino parent.
What are the phenotypes of the offspring and the probability that each will be
produced?
Answer
2. The autosomal dominant allele ML specifies a tailless phenotype in cats. This
allele is lethal in the homozygous state. A tailless female cat is mated to a tailless
male cat. What are the phenotypes of the offspring and the probability that each
will be produced?
Answer
3. Agouti (A) is wild type and produces alternating bands of pigment on each hair.
Black (a) is recessive to agouti. A mutation on gene B (recessive b) can eliminate
all color. In a cross between agouti (AABB) and albino (aabb) mice, what
genotypes, phenotypes, and proportions are expected in the offspring in F1 and
F2 generations?
Answer
4. What unusual phenomenon is at work in each of the following disorders?
a. Mara develops dark patches on her face. Her family physician suspects that
she may have alkaptonuria. However, a dermatologist discovers that the woman
has been using a facial cream containing hydroquinone, which causes skin
patches in dark-skinned people?
