1) (4 pts) Black hair in rabbits is determined by a dominant allele, B, and white hair by homozygosity for a recessive allele, b. Two heterozygous rabbits mate and produce a litter of seven offspring. With what frequency would we expect to find:

a) four whites and three black offspring?
b) one white and six black offspring?

Answer 1

Answer #1

a).

Bb x Bb ------Parents

	B	B
B	BB (black)	Bb (black)
b	Bb (black)	bb (white)

Black = ¾

White = 1/4

n!/s!t! (a)^s(b)^t

Expected proportion of black = a = ¾

Expected proportion of white = b = 1/4

Observed Black = s = 3

Observed white =t = 4

n = total = 7

P = (7! / (3! X 4!)) (3/4)^3 (1/4)^4

= (5040/3*24) (27/64)(1/256)

=70*0.42*0.004

= 0.11

Probability of 4 white and 3 black offspring = 0.11

b).

P = (7! / (6! X 1!)) (3/4)^6 (1/4)^1

= (5040/720) (0.178)(0.25)

=7*0.178*0.25

= 0.312

Probability of 1 white and 6 black offspring = 0.312

In some mice, black fur (B) is dominant to white (b). At a different locus, a dominant allele (A) produces a band of red just below the tip of each hair. The expression of the recessive allele (a) results in solid coat color. If rabbits that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed: -what proportion of their offspring is expected to have a solid color? -what proportion of their offspring is expected to be white with a red band? -what...
