4. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. This is NOT a sex-linked trait. Cross a brown-eyed colorblind male (whose mother had blue eyes) with a normal blue-eyed female (whose father was colorblind). a) What is the genotype of the male? b) What is the genotype of the female? c) What is the probability of getting offspring that are blue-eyed carrier females? (Remember that a carrier is a female that carries one copy of the sex-linked allele, but does not have the disease.) d) What is the probability of getting offspring that are blue-eyed? e) What is the probability of getting offspring that are blue-eyed colorblind males? f) What is the probability of getting offspring that are brown-eyed carrier females? g) What is the probability of getting offspring that are blue-eyed normal males? h) What is the probability of getting offspring that are colorblind?
9. In fruit flies, the gene for tan body color (T) is completely dominant over the gene for ebony body color (t). The gene for red eyes is dominant over the gene for white eyes and is a sex-linked trait. A tan female with red eyes (heterozygous for both traits) is crossed with a homozygous ebony male with white eyes. A) Write out the genotypes of two parents. Remember that eye color is sex- linked! Female: Male: B) Set up and fill out a punnett square for this cross. C) What is the probability of producing a fly that is an ebony male with white eyes?
4. The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). A red wattle (HR) is incompletely dominant with a white wattle (HW) so that an individual with HRHW will have a pink wattle. A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of the chicks?
1. In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant over white (b), and short hair length (H) is dominant over long (h). a) A guinea pig that is homozygous for black coat color and heterozygous for short hair is crossed with a black coat, long-haired guinea pig which had a white-coated mother. Indicate the genotypes of each parent, their gametes, and complete a Punnett square which shows the genotypes of all offspring. b) What is the probability of obtaining offspring with the following characteristics: i) black coat color and long hair ii) a female with white coat color and short hair
