In the same mouse species, a third unlinked gene (gene C/c) also has an epistatic effect on fur color. The presence of the dominant allele C (for color), allows the A/a and B/b genes to be expressed normally. The presence of two recessive alleles (cc), on the other hand, prevents any pigment from being formed, resulting in an albino (white) mouse. Match the phenotypes on the labels at left to the genotypes listed below. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all. 1. AaBbcc 2. AAbbCc 3. AaBBCC 4. Aabbcc 5. aaBbCc 6. AABBcc

The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is controlled by genes on each of the fly's four chromosome pairs. One eye-color gene is on the fly's X chromosome, so the trait is inherited in a sex-linked manner. For this sex-linked trait, the wild-type (brick red) allele is dominant over the mutant vermilion (bright red) allele. A homozygous wild-type female fly is mated with a vermilion male fly. X+X+ x XvY Predict the eye colors of F1 and F2 generations. (Assume that the F1 flies are allowed to interbreed to produce the F2 generation.)Drag the correct label to the appropriate location in the table. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all. 1. F1 females 2. F1 males 3.F2 females 4. F2 males

1. all wild type 2. all wild type 3. all wild type 4. 1/2 wild type, 1/2 vermilion

If the sequence ATGCATGTCAATTGA were mutated such that a base were inserted after the first G and the third T were deleted, how many amino acids would be changed in the mutant protein?

2

In addition to A and a, the "agouti" gene has a third allele, AY . Here is some information about the inheritance of the AY allele. The AY allele is dominant to both A and a. The homozygous genotype (AYAY ) results in lethality before birth. The heterozygous genotypes (AYA or AYa) result in yellow fur color, regardless of which alleles are present for the B/b gene. (This effect exhibited by the AY allele is known as epistasis--when the expression of one gene masks the expression of a second gene.) Suppose you mate two mice with the genotypes AYaBb x AYaBb . Considering only the live-born offspring, what would be the expected frequency of mice with yellow fur? (For help getting started, see Hint 1.) Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/16).

2/3

Imagine a locus with four different alleles for fur color in an animal. The alleles are named Da, Db, Dc, and Dd. If you crossed two heterozygotes, DaDb and DcDd, what genotype proportions would you expect in the offspring?

25% DaDc, 25% DaDd, 25% DbDc, 25% DbDd

In mice, agouti fur is a dominant trait resulting in individual hairs having a light band of pigment on an otherwise dark hair shaft. A mouse with agouti fur is shown here, along with a mouse with solid color fur, which is the recessive phenotype (A = agouti; a = solid color). A separate gene, which is not linked to the agouti gene, can result in either a dominant black pigment or a recessive brown pigment (B = black; b = brown). A litter of mice from the mating of two agouti black parents includes offspring with the following fur colors:solid color, black solid color, brown (sometimes called chocolate)agouti black agouti brown (sometimes called cinnamon) What would be the expected frequency of agouti brown offspring in the litter?

3/16

In the same mouse species, a fourth unlinked gene (gene P/p) also affects fur color. For mice that are either homozygous dominant (PP) or heterozygous (Pp), the organism's fur color is dictated by the other three genes (A/a, B/b, and C/c). For mice that are homozygous recessive (pp), large patches of the organism's fur are white. This condition is called piebaldism. In a cross between two mice that are heterozygous for agouti, black, color, and piebaldism, what is the probability that offspring will have solid black fur along with large patches of white fur? (Hint: Consider each gene separately; then use the multiplication rule. For more help getting started, see Hint 1.) Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 3/16).
