1. Labrador retrievers come in several colors: brown, black, or yellow. In a cross of a black female with a brown male, results can be either all black puppies, 1/2 black to 1/2 brown puppies, or 3/4 black to 1/4 yellow puppies. What to these results indicate?

      
A. Yellow is dominant to black.

       
B. Black is dominant to brown and to yellow.

       
C. Brown is dominant to black.

       
D. There is incomplete dominance.

       
E. There must be epistasis involved.

2. The spines of cacti may be sharp or dull. Gene S controls the sharpness of spines in a type of cactus. Cactuses with the dominant allele, S, have sharp spines, whereas homozygous recessive ss cactuses have dull spines. At the same time, a second gene, N, determines whether cactuses have spines or not. Homozygous recessive nn cactuses lack any spines at all. A cross between a true-breeding sharp-spined cactus and a spineless cactus would produce

      
A. 25% sharp-spined, 50% dull-spined, 25% spineless progeny.

       
B. all sharp-spined progeny.

       
C. It is impossible to determine the phenotypes of the progeny.

       
D. all spineless progeny.

       
E. 50% sharp-spined, 50% dull-spined progeny.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

1. Condition all black puppies. will be due to genotype BB for black and bb for brown.

This cross will form Bb which will be all black.

The condition for 1/2 black to 1/2 brown puppies due to genotype Bb fro black and bb fro yellow.

This cross will form Bb and bb which will be black and yellow.

The condition for 3/4 black to 1/4 yellow puppies due to genotypes Bb for both black and yellow.

This cross will from BB, Bb for black, and bb for yellow.

The answer is B.

This cannot be incomplete dominance because in incomplete dominance the heterozygotes always have a third color whijc isyello in this . But for heterozygotes black is domint, not yellow.

UESTION 4 Background info: in Labrador retrievers there is a gene, called black that participates in determining coat colour. This gene has two alleles, B and b. There are two other genes that participate in determining coat colour in Labs: the extension gene (with alleles E and e) and the agouti gene. All Labs are homozygous mutant for the agouti gene (so we can ignore this gene in our analyses and in our predictions, because it is not a variable)....

In golden retrievers, the D/d gene codes for an enzyme that produces a pigment. The dominant allele (D) results in a golden pigment, while the recessive allele (d) codes for red pigment. Additionally, the V/v gene produces a transport protein responsible for depositing the pigment produced by D/d into the hair. When the dominant V allele is present, the color expressed by D/d will be deposited and the dog will be that color (golden or red). However, allele v is...

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...
