In the Mexican hairless breed of dog, the lack of hair corresponds to the H/h genotype. Normal dogs (with hair) are homozygous h/h for the recessive allele. Puppies H/H are stillborn and they display severe muzzle abnormalities and a lack of inner ear. a) Which crosses can give hairless dogs at the next generation ? b) Which one gives the highest frequency of hairless dog for a breeder (only viable animals will be taken into account)?

The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?

In dogs, dark coat color is dominant over albino, andshort hair is dominant over long hair. Assume that theseeffects are caused by two independently assorting genes.Seven crosses were done as shown below, in which D andA stand for the dark and albino phenotypes, respectively,and S and L stand for the short-hair and long-hairphenotypes.Number of progenyParental phenotypes D, S D, L A, S A, La.

In rats, hair color is either gray (G), black (g), or white. The white color is produced due to an epistatic recessive allele of gene "a". In other words, in order for the black or gray color to show up, the rat must have at least one dominant (A) epistatic allele. Two heterozygous Gray rats are crossed. Both rats are also heterozygous for the epistatic gene. Predict the probability that an offspring of this cross will: a. Express the gray phenotype b. Express the black phenotype c. Express the white phenotype

) Cats also have a locus (gene) for a character called agouti. In cats with agouti fur, pigment is unevenly distributed (see Fig. 1). The agouti allele is dominant to the allele for regular fur. A male cat who long haired and is heterozygous for agouti fur is crossed with a female who has regular, non-agouti fur and is homozygous for short fur. a) What are the genotypes of these cats? b) What are all of the possible allelic combinations in the gametes from each of these cats? c)What are all of the possible phenotypic combinations of these characters in their kittens and in what ratios?
raccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also havethe habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all. a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table) b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food?

In goats, a beard is produced by an autosomal allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. We’ll use the symbol Bb 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 expected proportions for the following crosses. a. B+ Bb Ww male × B+ Bb Ww female b. B+ Bb Ww male × B+ Bb ww female c. B+ B+ Ww male × Bb Bb Ww female d.
