Dragon fire color is determined by a diallelic locus F/f, where F yields blue fire and f yields red fire. The F locus exhibits complete dominance, where the F allele is dominant. You have a population of 100 female dragons, 16 of which breathe red fire. 1/7 of the dragons that breathe blue fire are FF.

A. You randomly mate your entire population of female dragons to a male with genotype Ff. What are the chances of the offspring breathing blue fire?

B. Is this dragon population currently in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

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...

You are studying two isolated populations of birds living on two different islands. In particular, you are interested in studying two different traits in these birds: beak size and feather color. Beak size is determined by a single gene exhibiting incomplete dominance. Birds with 2 copies of the A allele (genotype AA) have large beaks, birds with 1 copy of the A allele (genotype Aa) have medium beaks, and birds with no copies of the A allele (genotype aa) have...
