Two white mice mate. The male has both a white and a black fur color gene. The female has only white fur color genes. The fur color of the offspring depends on the pairs of fur color genes that they receive. Assume that neither the white nor the black gene dominates. List the possible outcomes. W=white and B=black

  • Genetics Problems

    If the offspring are bred together, what percentage of their offspring will have black fur? It seems as if each of the two original strains of mice is homozygous for a different allele of a gene that determines fur color.

  • Monofactorial cross with incomplete dominance.

    The resulting F1 offspring are all black. The F2 offspring have black, white, and brown mice. What type of interaction between genes is this? What proportion of sperm from the F1 is expected to carry the allele for brown coat color?

  • Phenotypic rations

    In corn plants, a dominant allele "I" inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele "i" permits color when homozygous.

  • Evolution by Natural Selection

    Postulate 2 - At least some of the differences among members of a population are due to characteristics that may be passed from parent to offspring. That is, they are heritable or genetic. Fur color is controlled by a set of genes.

  • Mendelian Inheritance

    Fur color in rabbits is determined by a single gene locus for which there are four alleles.

  • Punnett Squares and Genetics

    B = Black fur B= brown fur A separate gene E encode for color deposition in the coat, and ee genotype prevents color deposition in the coat resulting in golden phenotype.

  • Dihybrid cross analysis

    Let's look at the information we are given for each trait separately. The first trait determines whether a mouse is colored of albino (no color pigment). Mating heterozygous parents produces 3/4 colored offspring and 1/4 albino.
