Question

Use the following information to answer the next three questions (some might require a Punnett square): Brown hair (B) is dominant to white hair (b) in mice. Assume that no other factors are involved in the coloring of mice. A heterozygous brown mouse is crossed with a white mouse. What percentage of the offspring will have white hair? There is a brown mouse with an unknown genotype. What can be done to determine if it is homozygous or heterozygous? A true-breeding brown mouse and a true-breeding white mouse are crossed. In what generation will the first white mouse appear? Inheritance of ABO blood type in humans is an example of codominance. If a mother has a genotype of I?i and the father has type B blood, what must be the father's genotype if their child has type O blood? (the "O" allele is represented by "i") If a woman has type AB blood, is it possible for her to have a child with O? Why? Can a genetic disorder be inherited from a mutation in body cells? Why or why not?

Step 1

Using a Punnett square, we can see that 50% of the offspring will have white hair (bb). Step 2: To determine if a brown mouse with an unknown genotype is homozygous or heterozygous, we can perform a test cross by crossing it with a homozygous recessive white Show more…

00:01 Okay, so we're looking at a heterozygous brown mouse.

00:09 Brown hair is dominant to white hair.

00:12 Heterozygous brown mouse is crossed with a white mouse, and it wants to know the percentage of offspring with white hair.

00:27 When you do the punnet square and fill it in, 50 % will have little b, little b.

00:42 Looking at the next one, brown mouse with unknown genotype, determining if it's homozygous or heterozygous.

00:49 So if we take this brown mouse, right, so let's put that for number one, number two.

00:57 And you have to do a test cross.

01:02 So basically you cross it with a homozygous recessive.

01:09 And if you have a 50 -50, then it was heterozygous.

01:20 And if 100 % are, because we don't know if it was homozygous or heterozygous.

01:30 If 100 % are brown, then you know that it was homozygous.

01:45 The next one, true breeding brown mouse, which means you have big bee, big bee, and a true breeding white mouse.

01:58 So you're crossing it by little b, little b.

02:00 True breeding can also just mean homozygous.

02:03 And what generation will the first white mouse appear? well, when you cross those two, all of them, 100 % of them, are going to be big v, little b.

02:13 And then the next generation, that's going to be your f1.

02:17 Your f2 generation, you're going to end up seeing 25 % genotypes of big b, big b.

02:25 50 % genotypes, big b, little b, and 25 % genotypes of little b, little b.

02:33 So that second generation is when the white mouse will appear, right? so then let's look at the blood types...
