Tri-hybrid: Zombie “speed” is a trait determined by the alleles F and f at the speed gene, where fast is dominant to slow. Zombie “brain eating” is a trait determined by the alleles B and b at the brain-eating gene, with eating brains recessive to not eating brains. Zombie drooling is a trait determined by the alleles D and d at the drooling gene where not drooling is recessive to drooling. Cross: A female Zombie that is ffbbDd has offspring with a male Zombie that is FFBbdd. What percentage of the offspring will be fast? What percentage of the offspring will be brain eaters? I'm having trouble with how these is set up as a punnent, and then calculating probability.

In domestic cats, the allele (L) is a dominant allele for short-hair trait. The recessive allele for long hair is (I). A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens with a male cat with a II genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short hair? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.
The gene for flower color in snapdragons displays incomplete dominance. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for red flower color have the genotype FRFR and have red flowers. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for white flower color have the genotype FWFW and have white flowers. Heterozygous snapdragons, with the genotype FRFW, have pink flowers. A snapdragon that has pink flowers is crossed with a different snapdragon that has pink flowers. What percentage of the offspring is expected to have red, white, and pink flowers?

Rehpogs are mythical creatures. They are small and not very smart. Rehpogs live on the ground in a flat, warm habitat. Their fur texture and color ranges from thick purple fur to thin pink fur, depending on allele distribution. The dominant fur allele (R) codes for thick purple fur. The recessive allele (r) codes for thin pink fur. REMEMBER: a phenotype (fur color) is the physical expression of a genotype (two- letter code for the alleles present in that individual). Each individual has two alleles for fur color: $ RR genotype is homozygous dominant = Thick purple fur phenotype Rr genotype is heterozygous = Thick purple fur (because of the presence of one dominant allele) XX genotype is homozygous recessive = Thin pink fur (because of the absence of a dominant allele) For the purposes of this experiment, Rehpogs mate once per year and produce two offspring each year. Rehpogs are monogamous, faithful and fertile. dictions: On Part I A small population of genetically diverse Rehpogs…
For some traits, one allele is not completely dominant to another. Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele dominates over the other. The resulting phenotype of heterozygotes is an intermediate of the two extremes. Incomplete dominant genes control snapdragon flower color. Red flower plants crossed with white flower plants produce offspring with pink flowers. One human trait that is thought to be inherited in this fashion is hair structure. Curly hair and straight hair are due to homozygous genotypes and wavy hair is produced by the heterozygous genotype. An incompletely dominant gene also controls the plumage of chickens. Black plumage and white plumage are due to homozygous genotypes and a blue-grey color results from a heterozygous genotype. Using Punnett squares and variations of the letter “B”, answer questions 1-3 and use variations of the letter “R” to answer questions 4-5. What type of offspring and in what ratio would you expect from a cross between a black…
/a2 = 32 Familier, d. at least one girl? 3/32 = 968 Familier In squash, fruit color is determined by one gene and fruit shape by another independently segregating gene. The white fruit allele (W) is dominant to yellow fruit allele (w) and disk shape fruit allele (D) is dominant to round-shaped fruit allele (d). A cross between a white-colored, disk-shaped squash and a white colored, round-shaped squash resulted the following offspring: 31 white, disk; 29 white, round; 9 yellow, disk; 10 yellow, round. VIII. a. What are the genotypes of the two plants that were crossed? b. Using the chi-square test, determine if your answer in letter a is acceptable.

A. This is a Gruffalo (Donaldson, J, 1999, Puffin Books). It is a terrifying looking animal who is the biggest, baddest creature in the whole dark wood. Other animals are very afraid of it, as it is a top predator. Gruffalos release lots of olfactory chemicals marking them as predators that are smelled by other animals, and these chemicals vary from gruffalo to gruffalo depending on their genotypes (specific genes and related alleles are not known, just know that gruffalos vary for genetic reasons). There is variation in the olfactory chemicals released when gruffalos are in different types of forests (i.e. not just deep darks woods), where some gruffalos increase their olfactory chemicals, and some decrease. Draw the associated reaction norms for 4 genotypes of gruffalo in two different forest environments, and name the mechanism acting here Additionally, all gruffalos are tricked by little brown mice, where gruffalos think they are prey animals when in the presence of little brown…
Which of the following statements is/are false regarding alleles? (Select all correct answers.) For a given species, every gene has only two alleles All disease causing alleles are recessive to the wild-type allele A single allele can be recessive to the wild-type allele for one phenotype, but dominant to the wild-type allele for a different phenotype. For any pair of alleles of a given gene, the same dominant/recessive relationship will be found for all phenotypes affected by that gene
Two pair of alleles are known to interact in the production of feather color in parakeets. Allele B is needed for Blue pigment, whereas the recessive “b” resulted in lack of color. The dominant C is associated with yellow pigment whereas the recessive allele “c” also resulted in lack of color. Blue and Yellow pigments together produce green feather color. Give the genotype of each of the following A green bird that has a white off spring A yellow bird that has a green parent A blue bird that has two parents A white bird that had a green parent and a blue parent.
