1) Coat color in mice is determined by several independently assorting autosomal genes. Gene A is involved in the distribution of pigment along the hair. A dominant allele (A) produces a hair color called "agouti"--the hair has dark pigment at the base and tip of each hair shaft and yellow pigment in the central portion of the shaft. Homozygous recessive mice (aa) are missing the yellow stripe and thus have solid dark-colored hair. Gene B is involved in the color...
1. At least 3 independently assorting loci are known to govern coat color in mice. The genotype C- will allow pigment to be produced by 2 other genes. The cc genotype does not allow pigment production resulting in albino mice. The striped “agouti” hair pattern depends on the genotype A- and the aa genotype is nonagouti. Finally, the color of the pigment may be black (B-) or brown (bb). Five different coat colors may be produced by the action of...
4. In mice, the Ayallele of agouti is dominant for yellow coat color but is homozygous lethal. A yellow mouse, Ay/A, that is also heterozygous for the albino allele, C/c, is crossed to an albino mouse that is also heterozygous for the Ayallele, Ay/A. c/c. What phenotypic ratios do you expect in the progeny? (True or False) a. if these genes are unlinked: 3/8 yellow, 1/8 agouti, 1/2 albino b. if these genes are unlinked: 1/3 yellow, 1/6 agouti, 1/2...
2. Fruit color in eggplants is controlled by a single autosomal gene, R, with two alleles R and r. When a homozygous plant that produces purple fruit (RR) is crossed with a homozygous plant that produces white fruit (rr), all F1 offspring produce violet eggplants. When the F1 progeny are testcrossed, the F2 progeny produce 160 violet eggplants, and 154 white eggplants. Design a hypothesis for the mode of inheritance of eggplant color (explicitly state your null and alternate hypotheses)....
In Drosophila, red eyes is a wild-type phenotype. Several different genes affect eye color. One allele causes purple eyes, and a different allele causes sepia eyes. Both of these are recessive to red eye color. When flies with purple eyes were crossed to flies with sepia eyes, all F1 flies had red eyes. When the F1 offspring were allowed to mate, the F2 flies were as follows: 162 purple eyes 172 sepia eyes 58 purplish sepia eyes 478 red eyes...
The second F2 (cross 2) is from a yellow starchy corn crossed with a white sweet corn. The F1 was all yellow starchy. Propose an inheritance pattern for this trait to account for the segregation pattern you observe (how many genes and what type of gene action controls the trait), and test your hypothesis with a Chi-square statistic. For the Chi Square problems show observed, expected, calculations, table P value for appropriate degrees of freedom and your conclusion. Note that your...

On the island of Notion, in the Factotum Archipelago, there lives a population of pencil bears. A portion of these bears have silky fur, and as a result, are much better surfers. The texture of the fur is determined by a single autosomal locus with two alleles: S (trait allele) and s (wild type allele). In a recent study, researched collected the values in the following table: Table 1. Counts of Pencil Bear fur style by genotype Phenotype Genotype Silky...
