Albino rabbits lack pigment and are homozygous for the recessive allele c (C allows pigment formation)....
Albino rabbits lack pigment and are homozygous for the recessive allele c (C allows pigment formation). Rabbits homozygous for the recessive allele b make brown pigment, while those with at least one copy of B make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbits were crossed to albino rabbits (that also had the genotype BB). The F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to rabbits with a double recessive genotype (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34 black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.
a.What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the b and c loci were unlinked?
b.How far apart are the b and c loci?
Homework Answers
Solution:
In the First (F1) Generation:- CCbb (brown rabbits) x ccBB (albinos) CcBb (Black)
| Cb | Cb | |
| cB | CcBb | CcBb |
| cB | CcBb | CcBb |
According to the question:-
CcBb (Black) x ccbb (recessive) 34 black: 66 brown: 100 albino rabbits.
a. in the case when the genes b and c were unlinked then it will result in the following:
| CB | Cb | cB | cb | |
| cb | CcBb (Black) | Ccbb (Brown) | ccBb (Albino) | ccbb (Albino) |
| cb | CcBb (Black) | Ccbb (Brown) | ccBb (Albino) | ccbb (Albino) |
Therefore, The phenotypic proportions which would be expected if the b and c loci were unlinked are :
2 Black : 4 Albino: 2 Brown.
i.e., 1/4 Black : 1/2 Albino: 1/4 Brown.
b.
If c and b are linked, then the genotype of the F1 class is C b / c B and you would expect the parental type Cb and cB gametes to predominate; cb and CB are the recombinant gametes and are therefore present at lower levels.The parental gametes are represented in the F2 by the Cc bb(brown) and cc Bb(albino) classes.
In case of c and b linking together then the genotype for the first (F1) generation would be Cb/cB and it would be expected that the parental type Cb and cB genes to dominate themselves; Also it must be noted that cb and CB are formed as a recombinant gametes and thus they are present in lesser level.
Also, in the second (F2) generation the parental gametes would be represented by the Ccbb (brown) and ccBb (albino) Phenotypes.

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...

In the snail Cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (B ) is recessive to the allele for unbanded shell (O ). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here, yellow (Y ) is recessive to brown (Bw ). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a testcross). What will be the phenotypic classes resulting from a testcross if...

I answered part a, not sure if its correct tho. I need someone to look it over and tell me if it's correct and answer part b. The agouti locus in mice has three alleles: a is recessive and confers a black coat, A is dominant to a and confers an agouti coat, and AY is dominant to both and confers a yellow coat. AY is also a recessive lethal. In addition, the independently assorting c allele is recessive (to...

19. Two different gene loci are responsible for determining mouse coat color. A recessive lethal allele contributing to yellow coat color also exists for one of these two gene loci. The following genotypic and phenotypic information about the mouse coat color alleles is known: (6) Agouti = A-B- • Yellow = AA'B-or A'aB-or A'ab- Lethal (inviable zygote) = A'A- Black = aaB- Albino = -bb a. A cross is made that produces 2 yellow, 1 black, and 3 albino mice....

the answer I gave was wrong
1 1 - - 1 Hair color is determined in Labrador retrievers by alleles at the Band E loci. A dominant allele B encodes black pigment, whereas a recessive allele b encodes brown pigment. Alleles at a second locus affect the deposition of the pigment in the shaft of the hair; dominant allele E allows dark pigment (black or brown) to be deposited, whereas recessive allele e prevents the deposition of dark pigment, causing...

A colorblind woman marries a man who is not colorblind. What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? In humans, freckles are dominant over absence of freckles, and curly hair is incompletely dominant with straight hair. A freckled, wavy-haired woman has kids with a freckled straight-haired man. Both the man and woman have one homozygous dominant parent and one homozygous recessive parent for freckles. What is the phenotypic ratio of the man and woman’s kids? Pigment in the mouse is...
