The question that is asked is;.,
If the parents are both Homozygous in different colors, then what color will the offspring be?
My Hypothesis is;
If the parents are both Homozygous for different colors, than the Dominant trait will most likely show.
The lesson question is what is the eggect of the genes of the parental mice on the fur color of the offspring mice?

In the cross Bb x Bb (two heterozygous mice), what percentage of the offspring woud you predict to have the same phenotype as the parents?
D. 75%

Next, you perform a cross with a mouse with black fur and a mouse with white fur. Which result(s) for the offspring would indicate that the mouse with black fur was heterozygous?
B. 8 mice with black fur, 1 mouse with white fur
C. 5 mice with black fur, 6 mice with white fur …show more content…
6 mice with black fur, 2 mice with white fur
Suppose that you had a male mouse with black eyes and a female mouse with red eyes. You know that the allele for black eyes is dominant, and you want to determine whether the male is heterozygous.
To do so, you would do a ✔ test cross.
Breed them and look for approximately a ✔ 50% to 50% ratio of black eyes to red eyes.

Step 1:
Male; BB Female; BB Offspring; 1.bb 2.BB3.BB4.BB

Prediction Data VS Actual Data;
Step 1: predict the offspring of two mice homozygous for black fur
Male: BB
Female; BB
Offspring; 1. BB 2.BB 3.BB 4.BB
Black fur predicted percentage: 100%
Black Simulated Number: 10/10
Black Simulated Percentage:100%
White fur predicted percentage: 000%
White Simulated Number:00/10
White Simulated Percentage:000%
10 Offspring was done.

Step 2: cross a mouse Homozygous for white fur with a Mouse Homozygous for Black fur.
Male: BB
Female:

Sex-Linked Vs Autosomal

Introduction: The goal was to determine if the gene was sex linked, or autosomal, and which was the dominant and which was the recessive trait. We established pure breeding homozygous individuals of each trait and then preformed multiple reciprocal crosses. This means that we crossed a red female with a purple male and then a purple female with a red male. This allowed us to determine sex linkage as well as dominance. According to research carried out by Gregor Mendel, we can confidently say that…

Allele and Expected Percentage Essay

other progeny. 2. The percentage of the first pattern of heredity is expected to be 75%T and 25%t. The genotype would be 25% homozygous dominant, 50% heterozygous dominant, and 25% homozygous recessive. The phenotype would be 3 to 1, 3 tall plants and 1 short plant. For the second pattern of heredity, the percentage is 50%T and 50%t. The genotype would be 50% homozygous dominant and 50% heterozygous dominant. The phenotype would be 4 tall plants which is 100% tall plants. 3. The percentages from…

Brassica Rapa Essay

INVESTIGATION OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE ROSETTE GENE IN BRASSICA RAPA By: Justine Poorbaugh Foundations of Biology 2 Laboratory Thursday 2:30 PM Professor Cheek April 21, 2011 ABSTRACT The Brassica rapa is a rapid growing plant that has a standard form and a mutant rosette form. Relative to normal plants, the rosette form is shorter and takes longer to flower. The mode of inheritance of the rosette gene was tested by crossing two true-breeding plants, one of each form. The F1 generation…

Mendelian Genetics

(at the DNA level) its genotype (AA, Aa, aa). 3. In diploid species, each parent contains two copies (alleles) of the factor (gene) governing each trait. The copies may or may not be the same. If they are the same, the individual is said to be homozygous (same, e.g. AA or aa). If the copies are different, then the individual is said to be heterozygous (different, e.g. Aa). 4. The presence of an allele does not ensure that a trait will be expressed in the individual that carries it. Alleles can…

Homozygous: A Genetic Analysis

It is hypothesized that this mutation enabled a select few to have immunity against smallpox. Approximately 1% of Caucasians in the US are homozygous for such a protective CCR5 variant. Similarly, the HIV infection seems follows a slower course in heterozygotes (Kumar, 2013). The CCR5 D32 mutation demonstrates its greatest prevalence at about 10% in European countries, where smallpox epidemics…

CCR5 D32 Stereotypes

HIV first appeared in the 1980’s largely in males practicing anal receptive sexual behavior. Although HIV had not yet been characterized, medical personnel noted that this population had stubborn infections, resistant to most medications. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in profound viremia and low T-cell counts characterized as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Currently, it is theorized that both strains of HIV descend from simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) a virus that…
