1. The Manx cat has a very short or no tail due to a dominant trait T. Cats who inherit one dominant (T) and one recessive (t) allele will be tailless (Manx); cats who are homozygous recessive will have normal, long tails. However, the homozygous dominant condition (TT) is lethalâthe embryo will not develop. If two Manx cats breed, what are the chances of Manx offspring or kittens with long tails?

A. There will be no offspring at all, since none of the embryos will develop.

B. All offspring will be Manx cats.

C. All offspring will be kittens with long tails.

D.Twice as many Manx as kittens with tails.

E. Equal chance of Manx or kittens with tails.

2. Given what we know about Mendelian genetics, what is the genotype of pea plants with white flowers?White is a recessive trait while purple is a dominant trait.

A. hemizygous recessive

B. pw

C. w

D. homozygous recessive

E. heterozygous

Q 1 â Manx cats are produced when a dominant allele is inherited for the Manx gene (M). Inheritance of two dominant alleles, however, results in death of the fetus. Coat color in cats is determined by two alleles with incomplete dominance. BB produces black colored cats, Bb produces grey cats, and bb produces white cats. A grey Manx cat is mated with a white Manx. What proportion of the living offspring will be white Manx kittens? (3 points)

Q 2 â In goats, a beard is produced by an autosomal allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. Weâll use the symbol B^b for the beard allele and B+ for the beardless allele. Another independently assorting autosomal allele that produces a black coat (W) is dominant over the allele for white coat (w). Give the phenotypes and their proportions expected for the following cross: B⁺B⁺Ww male Ã B^bB^bWw female (2 points)

Q 3 â E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescent-white seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings.

Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow seedlings

Explain how color is determined in these seedlings (which genotype gives which phenotype). (3 points)

Q 4 â You are studying a gene that controls ossicone (horn) length in giraffes. The wild-type long-ossicone allele (L) is dominant to the mutant short-ossicone (l) allele. However the L allele is only 60% penetrant in both homozygotes and heterozygotes. In a population of 212 giraffes in an African nature preserve, 80 giraffes are either homozygous or heterozygous for the long ossicone allele (L). What proportion of offspring would you expect to exhibit the long ossicone phenotype? (2 points)

Problem B: Prairie Dog Population Genetics
A relatively stable population of Black-footed Prairie Dogs (70,000 individuals) lives in a national park in
Saskatchewan, Canada. These creatures have various tones of brown fur, but may have brown or auburn tails.
Furthermore, tails may be of solid color (brown or auburn) or be tipped with white or black fur. Three alleles for
tail coloration exist in this population. These alleles include:

Allele	Trait	Notes on Phenotype and Relationship to other Alleles
T	White Tip	Tail has white fur at tip. Completely dominant over t; codominant with T*
t	Black tip	Tail has black fur at tip. Codominant with T*; recessive to T
T*	Auburn tail	Background tail color is auburn when T* is present. Codominant with T or t

The frequency of the (T) allele in this population is 0.28, and the frequency of the (t) is 0.4.
Answer each of the following. Show all of your work/calculations. Cite your rationale if appropriate.

1. List and describe all the possible genotypes and their respective phenotypes for this gene system in the
population.

2. Using the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, calculate the probable frequency of animals with the following
phenotypes in this population:
â¢ White tipped tails
â¢ Black tipped auburn tails

3. What is the expected combined frequency of individuals carrying the TT, TT* and Tt genotypes in this
population?

4. How many (number, not percentage) of the prairie dogs would you expect to have black tipped, auburn
tails? Explain.

5. In a different population of 10,000 prairie dogs (South Dakota, USA), only the T and t alleles are found. If
this group included only 400 animals with black tipped, brown tails, what is the probable number (not
frequency) of individuals that are homozygous dominant (TT) in this herd?

In need of assistance. Please help answer the following.

1) Pure-breeding yellow guinea pigs crossedwith pure-breeding white guinea pigs produce only cream-coloredoffspring. This pattern indicates incomplete dominance. Rough hairis found to be dominant to smooth hair. Give the F1 and F2genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross of a smooth white guineapig with a homozygous rough yellow guinea pig.

2) A breeder of cattle has a herd of white cowsand a roan bull. Hair color in this breed is controlled by anincomplete dominant gene. The two homozygous forms are either redor white, and the heterozygous is roan. Answer the followingquestions please

What color calves are expected and in whatproportion?

Outline a procedure to develop an all-redherd.

3) In horses, black coat color is influenced bythe dominant allele (B), and chestnut coat color is influenced bythe recessive allele (b). Trotting gait is due to a dominant gene(T), pacing gait to the recessive allele (t). If a homozygous blacktrotter is crossed with a chestnut pacer:

What will be the appearance of the F1 and F2generations?

Which phenotype will be the most common?

Which genotype will be the most common?

Which of the potential offspring will be certain tobreed true?

4) In garden peas, one pair of alleles controlsthe height of the plant and a second pair of alleles controlsflower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele fordwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant for the allelefor white (p). A tall purple crossed with a tall purple produces Â¾tall purple and Â¼ tall white. What is the genotype of the parents?

5) Three alleles control the ABO blood types.I^A and I^B are codominant genes, so thecombination of I^AI^B produces the AB bloodtype. The third allele I^ois recessive to the other twoalleles. Indicate which of these parents could produce the givenchild and submit your response to the instructor.

A X O produce A child.

A X B produce O child.

A X AB produce O child.

A X AB produce B child.

B X B produce O child.

AB X AB produce A child.
