12. In a species of bird, pink eyes (P) are dominant to blue eyes (p) and long tails (L) are dominant to short tails (l).

Two purebred (homozygous) birds mate, one with pink eyes and a short tail and the other with blue eyes and a long tail.

Set up a Punnett Square to determine the genotypes and phenotypes that can result from this cross.

a. What would be the genotypic ratio of the offspring?

The pink-eyed offspring from above is mated with a pink-eyed bird that has the same genotype as the pink-eyed parent.

b. What percentage of these offspring will have pink eyes?

c. What percentage will have long tails?

(6 pts) In a unique species of bird, feathers may be white, blue, red, or pink. All colors may be true breeding. Color is determined by two unlinked autosomal genes. If true-breeding birds with blue feathers are crossed to true-breeding red-feathered birds, all F1 birds have white feathers. F1 birds were allowed to intercross to generate the F2 generation. Amongst the F2, the following ratio was observed: 9/16 white: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 pink In still another cross, using...

Tallness (T ) in snapdragons is dominant to dwarfism (t ), while red (R ) flower color is incompletely dominant to white (R' ). The heterozygous condition results in pink (RR' ) flower color. The genes for these traits occur on separate chromosomes. A dwarf, red snapdragon is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and white fowers. a) Determine the genotypes of the parents. b) Determine all the types of gametes each parent can produce. c) Complete the Punnett...

Which of the following correctly describes this cross? Choose all that apply. Now determine the genotypes of the possible gametes and set up a Punnett square for the cross between two double heterozygotes, as you did before in a previous question (no need to attach that Punnett square). From your Punnett square, determine how many individual kernels have the genotypes and phenotypes shown in the table below. Enter your answers as a number (e.g. 7) not a word (e.g. seven)...

Simple Dominance with 2 genes A gene in cats causes them to be black (dominant) or brown (recessive). A second gene causes cats to be agouti (have stripes on their hairs) or non-agouti (solid colored hairs). If you did a dihybrid cross between two black haired agouti cats, what fraction of the offspring would be expected to have each phenotype? If a dihybrid black agouti cat mated with a brown cat that was heterozygous for the agouti gene, what fraction...

Use the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the following questions. p + q = 1 p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 In domestic cats, the allele for short hair (L) is dominant and the allele for long hair (l) is recessive. You are studying a population of cats found on Iwato Island and have determined that the frequency of the recessive long hair allele is q = 0.3. A) What is the frequency of the dominant allele for short...

3a. In a certain breed of dog long hair is dominant over short hair; the gene involved is autosomal. Another gene, B controls hair colour, which is X-linked, one allele B1 produces gray coloured hair; the other allele B2 produces red coloured hair; and the heterozygous combination B1B2 produces brindle coloured hair (a mix with patches of both gray and red coloured hairs). If a red male homozygous for long hair is mated with a brindle short-haired female, what kind...
