In mice, short hair is dominant to long hair. If a short-hair individual is mated with a long-hair individual and both long-hair and short-hair offspring result, then from looking at the offspring you learn that:

A. the short-hair individual was homozygous
B. the short-hair individual was heterozygous
C. the long-hair individual was homozygous.
D. the long-hair individual was heterozygous.
E. more offspring are required in order to decide.

In rabbits, short hair is determined by a dominant allele S, whereas long hair is determined by a recessive allele s. Suppose that a pure short-haired rabbit is bred with a long-haired rabbit, and an offspring is picket at random, and mated with a long-haired rabbit. 1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen second generation rabbit will be short-haired? 2. What is the probability that a randomly chosen second generation rabbit will be long-haired? 3.

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...

Draw a Punnett square representing the cross between a heterozygous individual and a homozygous recessive individual for gene A. Assume that gene A is inherited in a normal Mendelian fashion and assorts independently. What are the chances that these two individuals would have offspring that are… AA? Aa? aa? What alleles are in each of the gametes (sperm & eggs) for the heterozygous individual? Now let’s practice using the “rule of and.” What are the chance of the offspring from...

The HAIR gene (abbreviated as H) controls hair color with the dominant phenotype being dark brown hair and the recessive phenotype being blonde hair. The WIDOW gene (abbreviated as W) controls the presence of a ‘widows peak’ in the hairline (having a point at the center of the hairline). Having a widows peak is dominant and not having a widows peak is recessive. Gene H and Gene W are linked genes. Two individuals with the genotypes indicated below mate (note:...

Squeaky Squirrels tails and hair color are controlled by genes on different chromosomes. Bushy, long tails (T) are dominant to short, thin tails (t) and Black hair (B) is dominant to grey (b) hair. A true breeding black squirrel with bushy, long tail is mated with a grey squirrel with short, thin tail. The F1 generation are then bred with grey squirrels with short, thin tails to produce the F2 generation. A. What is the GENOTYPE of the parent with...

1) One parent has yellow flowers, which is the dominant allele Y. The second parent has white flowers, the recessive allele y. If the offspring are all yellow, what is the genotype of each parent? 2) A plant is homozygous for the recessive gene "a" causing the plant to be short. What is the genotype and the phenotype of this plant? (In your answer, be very clear about which is the genotype and which is the phenotype). 3) The allele...

Part A, In humans, pointed eyebrows are dominant to smooth eyebrows and widow’s peak is dominant to continuous hairline. What phenotypic results would you expect in the offspring from a cross between an individual heterozygous for both genes and an individual homozygous dominant for both genes? Show work. Doesn't matter what letter is used, just clarify Part B. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder and you should consider it exceedingly rare. A man and woman are planning on having...
