I need to be able to list the work and list the expected phenotypic ratios for the following crosses:

A. If a red cow is bred with a white bull, all offspring are roan, which have red and white hairs intermixed on the hide. I know this is an example of co-dominance, but what are the results of roan x roan?

B. If solid x spotted = all solid, what will two heterozygous solids produce?

C. heterozygous solid x spotted =

D. AaBb x Aabb=

E. AaBb x aabb=

  • Blood types

    To have type A blood, you can be either AA or AO genotype, since A is dominant over O. Same for type B phenotype - it could be a BB or BO phenotype.

  • F1 and F2 generations: aa bb (mutant) x AA BB

    Only an aabb genotype yields the mutant phenotype, so the segregation ratio would be 15:1 (count the entries in the Punnet square). b.)
