In Minx cats, the alleles TT yield a cat with a normal tail, the heterozygous alleles Tt yield a cat with a short tail or no tail at all, and the recessive alleles tt are lethal to the embryo. Using Punnett squares, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of all offspring from parent Minx cats that both have short-tails.
In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w). Cross a marriage between a heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman. Give genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring. In horses, black is dependent upon a dominant gene, B, and chestnut upon its recessive allele, b. The trotting gait is due to a dominant gene, T, the pacing gait to its recessive allele, t. If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter, what will be the appearance of the F1 generation?
A walnut comb rooster is mated to three hens. Hen A, which has a walnut comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 1 rose. Hen B, which has a pea comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 3 pea to 1 rose to 1 single. Hen C, which has a walnut comb, has only walnut comb offspring. What are the genotypes of the rooster and the three hens?
In some bizarre-feathered chickens, F is the trait for frizzled feathers while S is the trait for straight feathers. Since both traits are appears to be dominant, what proportion of the offspring would likely show straight feathers? Assume that both parents are homozygous for the traits. Construct the punnet square and indentify the following: Parents’ genes? Parents’ traits? Genes (genotype)? Feather type? (phenotype)? Genotypic ratio? Phenotypic ratio?
Fur color is codominant in cows. A roan cow has a fur color of orange and white. What are the phenotype and genotypic ratios expected if a roan male and a roan female breed together?
In seals, long whiskers (W) are dominant over short whiskers (w). What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring produced by mating a seal that is homozygous recessive with one that is heterozygous?
In fruit flies, the dominant H allele gives rise to a hairless phenotype, hh gives rise to normal body bristles, and the HH homozygote condition is lethal during an embryonic stage. The presence of a dominant S allele suppresses the effect of the dominat H allele with respect to the body bristles phenotype such that normal body bristle phenotype is restored when only one dominant H allele is present (HH is lethal irrespective of the S or s alleles). The ss genotype has no effect over the H allele and the SS homozygote condition is also lethal during an embryonic stage. What would be the expected phenotypic outcomes among the surviving offspring from the following cross: HhSs X hhSs 2 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 7 normal body bristles: 2 hairless 1 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 3 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 5 normal body bristles: 1 hairless
A green salamander is mated with a white salamander. In the offspring, 49% of their abies are green and 51% of the babies are white. What is the genotype of the green salamander?
Cows have codominance inheritance rules for their coat color. Cows with the genotype BB are completely black, those with the genotype WW are completely white, and with genotype BW have black and white spots across their body. Draw a Punnett Square that shows the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring from a heterozygous coated cow and a homozygous white coated cow? Indicate also the genotypic and phenotypic % below:\
In fruit flies, gray body (G) is dominant to black body (g). If a male with a black body mates with a female that is homozygous dominant for her gray body what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? Complete the Punnett square below. What is the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring?
In a species of fish, the allele for long fins (F) is dominant over the allele for short fins (f). What will be the genotype and phenotype ratios for offspring do we get if we cross a long-finned homozygous male fish with heterozygous long-finned female fish? Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring?
