Inheritance pattern problems
Not what you're looking for?
Given the inheritance pattern of the coat color in rats described in the previous problem, predict the genotype and phenotype of the parents that produced the following F1 offspring: (a) 9/16 gray:3/16 yellow:3/16 black:1/16 cream; (b) 9/16 gray:3/16 yellow:4/16 albino; (c) 27/64 gray:16/64 albino:9/64 yellow:9/64 black:3/64 cream
Previous problem information:
The following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine coat color in rats: A-B- (gray); A-bb (yellow); aaB- (black); aabb (cream)
A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whether 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.
