Consider two blood polymorphisms that humans have in addition to the ABO system. Two alleles LM and LN determine the M, N, and MN blood groups. The dominant allele R of a different gene causes a person to have the Rh+ (rhesus positive) phenotype, whereas the homozygote for r is Rh− (rhesus negative). Two men took a paternity dispute to court, each claiming three children to be his own. The blood groups of the men, the children, and their mother were as follows:From this evidence, can the paternity of the children be established?
In cats, the locus for orange coat color is sex linked. Male cats that are black have the o+ allele, whereas those that are orange have the o allele. Females can be homozygous for the orange allele or homozygous for the black allele and will express each color, respectively. Heterozygous females are tortoise-shelled or calico, having orange and black patches. A calico cat, in addition to being heterozygous at the orange locus, also is either heterozygous or homozygous for the incompletely dominant, autosomal spotting allele (SS = large spots, Ss = small spots, ss = no spots). Manx tails are caused by a dominant trait that is lethal when homozygous. Long tails are the result of a homozygous recessive genotype. An orange male with small white spots and a manx tail is crossed to a calico female with small white spots and a manx tail. What is the probability of observing a solid black female with no spots and long tail? (Hint: All calico cats are female!)

Rabbit fur is determined by multiple alleles. Solid color is controlled by the Ic allele, the chinchilla by the Ich allele, the Himalayan by Ih and the albino by i.

In domestic chicken, feather colour and shape are two traits which are controlled by autosomal alleles that are co-dominant. Table 2 shows the alleles and phenotype of both traits. The heterozygous state for feather colour is grey while the heterozygous state for feather shape is mildly frizzled. TABLE 2 Trait Feather colour Allele CB CW SS SF Effect Produces black feathers in homozygotes Produces white feathers in homozygotes Produces straight feathers in homozygotes Produces frizzled feathers in homozygotes Feather shape A farmer bred a black frizzled rooster with a grey mildly frizzled hen. Draw a genetic diagram to show the expected results of this cross. Include in your answer the phenotypic ratios. Is it necessary to do a test cross to determine the genotypes of the offspring? Explain your answer. The farmer would like all his chickens grey and mildly frizzled. What would you advise him to do? Explain your answer.
In a gorilla population in Zaire we consider a single gene locus with two alleles G and g, with G dominant to g. The frequency of the allele g is 0.01. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg proportions, the frequency of the genotype Gg is:
