  • Genetics of domestic animals - mink breeding

    Therefore when we are conducting mating studies to determine what the genotype of an animal with known phenotype is we want to do each mating or cross multiple times and look at the phenotypic ratio (i.e 1:1) of all of the offspring to determine the genotype

    Half of the offspring would get a C and half of the offspring would get a c from the curly-winged parent. That means that half of the offspring would be curly-winged (Cc) and half of the offspring would be straight-winged (cc). 5.

    To determine the outcome of a paring between these parents you need to know their exact genotypes. You can then draw the Punnett square to determine the odds for a particular genotype in each offspring.

    Draw out your Punnett square here, and designate the genotypic frequency of the offspring, as well as the phenotypic frequency of the offspring.

    A breeder wants to know the genotypes of her three dogs, so she breeds them and makes note of the offspring of several litters. Determine the genotypes of the three dogs.

  • Genotype of a particular chipmunk

    If the first (short-eared) animal is homozygous dominant (i.e. EE genotype), all the offspring will be Ee genotype and have the dominant short ear phenotype.

  • Human Blood Types

    Such is the case with the human blood types in which there are 3 alleles for the same gene, A B, and o. A parent can pass allele A, B, or o to the offspring based on the parent's genotype.

  • Dihybrid test cross

    1/16 aabb = 1/16 aabb 3) Construct a Punnet square of the F1 genotype with the AABB parental. What are the genotypic ratios from this cross? What are the phenotypic ratios? A parental cross of AABB x AABB produces only AABB offspring.
