Albinism is due to a recessive gene.

a. Give the results (the genotypes, phenotypes, and their respective frequencies) of a classic Mendelian cross between a mouse with albinism and another mouse homozygous for pigmented coat color. This is the F1 generation.

b. Give the results of a cross between 2 mice of the F1 generation: what are the expected phenotypic ratio and the expected genotypic ratio?

Answer #1

Please find the answers below:

Answer a: According to the information, the cross is made between an albino (aa) and a normal (AA) mice. Thus, the Punnett square can be formulated as below:

a a
A Aa Aa
A Aa Aa

Genotye: All Aa

Phenotype: All normal colored

Frequency: 50% for allele A and 50% for allele a.

Answer b: According to the information, the cross has been made between two individuals of F1 generation i.e. Aa*aA. Thus, the Punnett square can be formulated as below:

A a
A AA Aa
a Aa aa

Genotype frequency: AA : Aa : aa :: 1:2:1

Phenotype frequency: Normal : albino : 3:1

In corn, the trait for yellow seedlings (g) is recessive to green seedlings (G), and waxy endosperm (w) is recessive to starchy endosperm (W). The two genes assort independently. A cross between a homozygous green, waxy plant and a homozygous yellow starchy plant produced F1 progeny that were all phenotypically green, starchy. a) If F1 individuals are interbred (self-pollinated), what phenotypes and in what proportions (ratios) would you expect in the F2 generation progeny b) List the expected F2 genotypes...

Gene K controls the kernel size in a variety of popcorn and exhibits classic Mendelian dominant/recessive inheritance. The dominant allele, K, produces large kernels, whereas homozygous recessive kk results in small kernels. At the same time, a second gene, T, controls height. Homozygous recessive tt popcorn plants exhibit significantly stunted growth making them unsuitable for commercial production. If doubly heterozygous KkTt popcorn plants were allowed to self-pollinate, the F2 would segregate into what phenotypic ratio? To receive credit, you must...
