Part I using proper genetic terminology explain what has occurred.
Part II you have a friend who also has bred hairless cats, but when he mates his cats to normal cats all the cats are normal and when these progeny are mated to each other he gets 70 normal and 30 cats without fur. You are told by a friend that two genes are involved in the production of fur and that the relationship is one of reciprocal epistasis. Based on this please describe what the expected F1 and F2 outcomes would be if his cats are mated to yours. Please show the genotypes of the starting cats of the F1 and of the F2.
Representation:
Trait: Presence of hair.
· Hairless = dominant = HH (homozygous dominant), Hh (Heterozygous dominant).
Normal hairy = recessive=hh

Question 3 (5 points, plus 5 extra credit points). Imagine you want to breed cats with short legs called munchkins. The munchkin phenotype is dominant. However, you have never been able to get a pure breeding population of munchkins! Whenever you cross two munchin cats, you find that 2/3 of the kittens are munchkins and 1/3 are normal sized. A. (2.5 points) What must be the genotypes of the parents and the F1 Offspring? B. (2.5 points) Provide an explanation...
6. In tigers, a dominant allele (W) is responsible for the expression of the normal orange pigment. Individuals that inherit twe recessive alleles (w) lack the normal orange pigment in their fur, appearing white with black stripes. A pair of normally colored parewis produces a cub that is white with black stripes and scab that is orange with black stripes. What are the possible genotypes of the cube? b. What are the possible genotypes of the parents? 6. Explain your...
Jack and his wife, Angela (27), have been referred to you by Angela’s gynecologist. Jack, a healthy male, has a family history of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (ED). The couple has one unaffected son, aged 2 years, and are contemplating having a second child. Ectodermal dysplasia is a disorder characterized by absence of sweat glands and malformed or missing teeth. Some persons having ED also have unusual hair growth patterns and mental retardation. Persons having the disease are at risk of...

You say est this morning stients receiving Case Study: Mrs. Nelson Revisited When Mrs. Nelson called her primary care provider, it would have bee more therapeutic had the assistant said, "Oh, Mrs. Nelson, how awful y the emergency room physician asked that you have a blood test this more and that you have his records with you? We usually only see patients re complete physicals in the morning, but I believe that the doctor will...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
