You discover a female rabbit in the wild that has yellow fur color, a recessive trait(y). Your boss hands you a single wild-type male rabbit with white fur(white fur(Y) is dominant) and wants you to breed at least 40 male and 40 female rabbits that all have yellow fur. A single breeding pair is defined as combining 1 female with 1 male rabbit in a cage. Assume that fur color is an autosomal trait. Assume the male he handed you is homozygous dominant. Assume rabbits always produce 16 offspring per little(8 males,8females). Describe in detail how you would accomplish this, how many generations would it take, and how many breeding pairs would you use to get 40 male and 40 female yellow rabbits.

Please Help, Thank You

trouble with genetics problem that has several genes, I cant seem to set it up right.

In clown fish there is a gene that controls their preference for red or yellow sea anemones. Interestingly, the preference for red sea anemones is dominant in males but recessive in females. a third allele exists that gives the fish a preference green anemones that is recessive to all other known alleles in either sex.

The gene that controls the color of the clown fish is found on the X chromosome. There is an allele that causes the fish to have a lemon color, which is dominant to a ruby color. Both lemon and ruby are dominant to the white color allele. You notice that regardless for the genetics of preference; if the female fish is lemon she will always prefer the yellow sea anemone. Assume fish follow the sex determination as mammals.

a) What would be the phenotypic outsome of a:

Male cherry fish who prefers red anemones whose dad was homozygous ruby and has preference for green anemones.

Female lemon fish that prefers yellow anemones who has the same father as the male fish.

b) Explain how the genetic illustrated above have a fitness advantage for these fish.

1. If an individual has a genotype of Bb, what types of gametes (sperm/egg) could they produce?
A) B
B) b
C) B or b
D) Bb, BB, bb
E) Bb

2. Which of the following statements is true about phenotypic plasticity, i.e., phenotype variation that is the result of genotype by environment interactions?
A. Phenotypic plasticity is only favored when the parental environment is a good predictor of the offspring environment
B. Since the trait expression of a genotype varies across environments, it cannot respond to selection
C. A variable environment is required for phenotypic plasticity to be selected for
D. A single trait can only ever be plastic or non-plastic within a species
E. Phenotypic plasticity can only occur within a single generation, never across generations

3. With large numbers of genes contributing to variation for a phenotypic trait (e.g. height in humans), the population approaches what kind of distribution for that trait?
A. Mendelian
B. Exponential
C. Binomial
D. Normal
E. Continuous

4. A classic example of phenotypic plasticity is caste determination in social insects. Whether a female ant becomes a worker, soldier, or queen is determined by the food she is fed. Would you say this this an example of G, E, or GxE?

5. In an infinite population, the frequency of the A allele is 0.3 and the frequency of the a allele is 0.7. What is the frequency of heterozygotes?
A. .10
B. .21
C. .30
D. .42
E. .70

6. Blue eyes are a recessive trait caused by an autosomal allele. If there are 180 people with blue eyes in a population of 500 people, what is the frequency of the brown-eye allele? (Assume HWE)
A. .36
B. .40
C. .50
D. .60
E. .64

7. Imagine flower color in diploid roses is determined by a single gene with two alleles, white and red, which are co-dominant so that heterozygotes are pink. Frank is colorblind and can only discriminate between white and colored roses, and knows that his population has 18 white roses and 182 non-white roses. How many of Frankâs roses are pink? (Assume HWE.)
A. 18
B. 21
C. 42
D. 84
âE. 100

8. Imagine flower color in diploid roses is determined by a single gene with two alleles, white and red, which are co-dominant. If Eva's population has 250 white roses, 500 pink roses, and 250 red roses, what is true about this population?

A. It is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
B. It is under balancing selection
C. It is connected to another population by migration
D. It is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
ââE. White is a recessive lethal

9. 9% of a population is unable to taste the compound PTC, which is a recessive trait. Assuming HWE, if two carriers of the non-tasting allele had a baby what is the probability that it would be unable to taste PTC?
A. 0.09
B. 0.25
C. 0.30
D. 0.50
E. 0.70

10. (Adapted from: Christensen, A. C. (2000). Cats as an aid to teaching genetics. Genetics, 155(3), 999-1004.) ss cats have no white fur, Ss cats generally have <50% white fur, and SS cats generally have >50% white fur (cats who are 100% white are scored as dominant white and can't be scored for piebald spotting). The S allele is incompletely dominant, but variably expressed, so there is a more-or-less continuous gradient of white pigmentation in populations. You and your friends score all non-white cats up for adoption: http://www.adoptapet.com/cat-adoption/search/50/miles/48824 and find there are 160 with >50% white fur, 350 with <50% white fur, and 490 with no white fur. Which of the following statements is definitely true:

A. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
B. The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
C. There is selection acting on the population
D. It is impossible to know if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
E. Fur color is not a heritable trait and therefore cannot evolve
