17. In rats, the following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine coat color. A_B_ (gray) A_bb (yellow) aaB_ (black) aabb (cream) A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whether or not any color will be produced. The CC and Cc genotypes allow color according to the expression of the A and B alleles. However, the cc genotype results in albino rats regardless of the A and B alleles present. Given the inheritance pattern of coat color in rats described in Problem 17, predict the genotype and phenotype of the parents who produced the following offspring: (c) 27/64 gray: 16/64 albino: 9/64 yellow: 9/64 black: 3/64 cream

1. Please consider the following pedigree. I 1 II 1 a) Assume that colour is controlled by a single sex-influenced gene where green is expressed preferentially in males. Individuals I-1 and I-2 are homozygous for red and green respectively. Which individual/s in generation II will be red? b) If colour is a controlled by cytoplasmic DNA, which individual/s in generation II will be green?

5 f There are two genes that determine the coat colour expression in dogs: eumelanin and merle. These genes are located on two separate chromosomes. For the eumelanin gene, black coat colour (E) is dominant over red coat colour (e). The merle gene controls the degree to which these coat colours are expressed through incomplete dominance. The following table describes the merle gene expression. Genotype MM Mm mm Phenotype White AAY Half colour (Grey or light red) Full colour (Black or Red) 1. If a dog breeder wants to determine the unknown genotype of a dog, what colour of dog must she use as a testcross? 2. A white dog was testcrossed, and all of the puppies had light red coats. What is the genotype of the white dog? Use a Punnett square to show your work.

I. Male Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-typestock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated withfemales from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome:yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings(ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m).These markers are known to map in the order:y - cv - ct - sn - mMost of the female progeny of this cross were phenotypically wild type, but one female exhibited ct and snphenotypes. When this exceptional ct sn female wasmated with a male from the true-breeding wild-typestock, twice as many females as males appearedamong the progeny.a. What is the nature of the X-ray-induced mutationpresent in the exceptional female?b. Draw the X chromosomes present in the exceptional ct sn female as they would appear duringpairing in meiosis.c. What phenotypic classes would you expect to seeamong the progeny produced by mating the exceptional ct sn female with a normal male from a truebreeding wild-type…

11). This pedigree illustrates a family in which some members have a completely penetrant disease caused by a dominant mutation. This mutation is linked at a distance of 10 map units from a SNP marker with three different alleles (1, 2 and 3). The SNP alleles found in each family member are indicated below each pedigree symbol. It is not yet evident whether the very young individuals labeled A and B will develop the disease. a.
