Dihybridism, polyhybridism and branching method
TASK 1:
Complete Punnett square for dihybridism and deduce phenotype ratio for offspring of two guinea-pigs with the same genotype RrBb (R - rough coat, r - smooth coat, B - black coat, b - white coat). There is the relation of complete dominance between the two alleles of both genes.
What offspring results from the back crossing?
TASK 2:
-
Use the branching method for setting of genotypes of gametes produced by individuals with the following genotypes:
- RrssTtUU
- AaBBCcddEe
- KkllmmNnOOppQq
TASK 3:
Use the branching method for setting of genotype and phenotype ratios in offspring of parents with these genotypes: RrssTtUU x RrSsTTuu (between alleles of all genes is complete dominance).
TASK 4:
Use the method of branching for setting of genotype and phenotype ratio in offspring of parents with these genotypes: AaBBCcddEe x aaBBCcDdee (There is the relation of incomplete dominance between the two alleles of all genes).
TASK 5:
-
Black rough and white rough guinea-pigs had 32 black rough, 33 white rough, 12 black smooth and 9 white smooth offspring (see task 1).
- What were genotypes of both parents?
- Use the branching method for determination of genotype frequencies of offspring.
- Use χ2 test for determination of significance of variation between obtained (empiric) and expected (theoretic) phenotype ratios (table values are here).
TASK 6:
-
In pumpkins, white color (W) is dominant over yellow (w) and disk shape (D) is dominant over round shape (d). What are the genotypes of parents and offspring in the following crossings?
- White disk x yellow round (offspring: 1/2 white disk and 1/2 white round).
- White disk x yellow round (offspring: 1/4 white disk, 1/4 white round, 1/4 yellow disk and 1/4 yellow round).
- White disk x white disk (offspring: 28 white disk, 9 white round, 10 yellow disk and 3 yellow round).
TASK 7:
In hen, feathery legs (F) are dominant over featherless legs (f) and pea comb (P) is dominant over simple comb (p).
Two cocks (A and B) were mated with two hens (C a D). All of them had feathery legs and pea combs. Cock A mated with hens C and D had all offspring with feathery legs and pea combs. Cock B mated with hen C had offspring with feathery or featherless legs and only pea combs, while mated with hen D offspring had only feathery legs and pea or simple combs. What are the genotypes of parents (cocks and hens) and their offspring?
