Answer #1

in horses the color black is due to a dominant allele B and chestnut color is due to recessive allele b.

Explanation- genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles. It represents at least two alternative forms of a gene. So here B and b are two alleles of a gene.

A dominant allele is the one that influences the appearance of the phenotype even in the presence of an alternative allele. It is always denoted by a capital alphabet.

A recessive allele is the one that influences the appearance of the phenotype only in the presence of another identical allele. It is always denoted by small alphabet

A tiger color variant with a white coat and black stripes occurs due to an autosomoal recessive mutation in a transport protein. Homozygous dominant individuals (genotype DD) have wild-type orange coloration. Heterozygotes (Dd) also have the wild-type coloration but are carriers for the white allele. Homozygous recessive individuals (dd) have the white phenotype A population of tigers has a recessive allele frequency of 0.2. What proportion of the tigers are expected to be heterozygous carriers if the population is in...

Please show WORK! In some horses, coat color is autosomal and exhibits incomplete dominance, with palamino coloration intermediate to both chestnut and cremello coloration. Horses can also exhibit an immunodeficiency syndrome inherited as an X-linked recessive allele. You are a horse breeder, and cross a palamino female carrier for immunodeficiency syndrome with a normal, cremello male. 1. Use appropriate genetic notation to describe genotypes of the cross. 2. If you conducted this cross many times, what would be the expected...
