In a species of hamster fur length can be long (LL), short (FF) or have patches of both long and short fur (FL). A long furred hamster and a patchy furred hamster are bred together. Create a Punnett Square to help you answer the following. Clearly label your answers. A) List all possible genotypes for their offspring and the percent chance for each. B) List all possible phenotypes for their offspring and the percent chance for each. C) Is this an example of Incomplete or Co-Dominance? Explain how you came to that conclusion.

A brown-furred hamster was crossed with a white-furred hamster, and all of the offspring had both brown and white hairs in their fur. Use this information to answer the next 4 questions.

Length of fur is genetically determined. The allele L produces long fur and its corresponding allele, l, produces short fur. Long fur is dominant to short. You mate 2 mice, both of which are heterozygous for brown long fur. a. What percentage of the offspring would you expect to have long fur? b. What genotype(s) would long fur offspring have? c. What percentage of the offspring would you expect to have short fur? d. What genotype(s) would short fur offspring have? e. What percentage of the offspring would you expect to be homozygous? f. What percentage of the offspring would you expect to be heterozygous fur?
