For this problem: In mice, a single gene controls yellow fur color. The Y allele is dominant and produces yellow fur, the y allele is recessive and results in white fur. When you cross two heterozgyous yellow mice (Yy x Yy), you find that you get 20 yellow offspring and 10 white offspring. That should tell you what kind of genetics and the probability of getting a single yellow or white mouse.
What is the probability first picking a first litter of 8 mice where the first mouse is yellow, the second mouse is white , with the remaining 6 mice being composed of 1 yellow and the rest white , and then picking a second litter of 3 mice where any 2 are yellow? (remember that the answer is a number between 0 and 1; you can use up to 4 decimal places)

11. Yellow coat color in mice is due to a dominant allele (Y). Mice without this allele have white fur (y). Two copies of the Yellow allele is lethal, meaning the embryos die at an early stage of development. Two adult yellow mice were crossed resulting in the birth of 12 mice. What are the expected numbers of yellow and white mice from this litter? (note: your answer should be a number, not a percentage). Yellow mice White mice

In the same mouse species, a fourth unlinked gene (gene P/p) also affects fur color.For mice that are either homozygous dominant (PP) or heterozygous (Pp), the organism’s fur color is dictated by the other three genes (A/a, B/b, and C/c).For mice that are homozygous recessive (pp), large patches of the organism’s fur are white. This condition is called piebaldism.In a cross between two mice that are heterozygous for agouti, black, color, and piebaldism, what is the probability that offspring will...

5. Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between O and 1 rounded to two decimal places 6.

In mice, the dominant allele Gs of the X-linked gene Greasy produces shiny fur, while the recessive wild type Gs+ allele determines normal fur. The dominant allele Bhd of the X-linked Broadhead gene causes skeletal abnormalities including broad heads and snouts, while the recessive wild-type Bhd+ allele yields normal skeletons. Female mice heterozygous for the two alleles of both genes were mated with wild-type males. Among 100 male progeny of this cross, 49 had shiny fur, 48 had skeletal abnormalities,...

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...

In the gene that controls whether a cat’s ears curl, the dominant Cu+ allele produces curled ears, while the recessive Cu allele produces straight ears. In the gene that controls fur color, the dominant G+ allele produces black fur, while the recessive G allele produces grey fur. Both genes are on autosomes. Imagine a grey cat with curled ears mates with a black cat that has straight ears. Half the F1 offspring are black, while half are grey. All F1...

The agouti gene, when expressed in mice, makes them obese, ravenous, yellow, and prone to diabetes. The agouti phenotype is dominant. During ovulation an agouti mouse is given a drug that methylates (or shuts off the agouti gene). She is then bred to another mouse and Igives birth to a litter of baby mice, none of whom have the agouti phenotype. Which of the following is accurate? O an epigenetic change in the mother was passed to her offspring her...

Fur color in dogs can be black, brown or white. The B gene is responsible for fur color. Dogs that inherit a dominant B will have black fur. Dogs that inherit 2 recessive alleles, bb, will have brown color. There is a second gene that contributes to fur color in dogs: gene I. Individuals who inherit a dominant allele, I, at this location, will always have white color. Individuals who inherit the homozygous recessive condition, ii, will be able to...

Assume earlobe shape is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. The dominant allele generates free earlobes, while the recessive allele produces attached earlobes. A second gene on a different chromosome controls earwax consistency, where wet is dominant and dry is recessive. Bella has free earlobes with wet earwax and is heterozygous for both traits. Edward has attached earlobes with dry earwax. What is the probability that their first child will have either free earlobes or wet earwax or...
