1. In cats, the yellow coat color is due to a sex-linked recessive gene. The distribution of genotypes for the locus in a certain random mating population is as follows (+ denotes the dominant allele and y, the recessive allele): Females | Males Genotype: ++ | +y | yy | + | y No. Observed : 250 | 136 | 14 | ? | ? a. How many male cats would you expect to show the yellow coat color if there are equal number of males and females? b. If all the females of this population were mated to recessive males and the resulting population was allowed to breed at random for several generations, what would be the frequency of recessive males after three generations of random mating?

Question 3. In examining H. sapiens, you realize that the animal has many skin colors. You perform the following crosses. Based on the phenotypic ratios you observed, what is the dominance pattern for skin color in H. sapiens? Cross Parents: blue eye X yellow eye, blue eye X blue eye, blue eye X brown eye, yellow eye X red eye Progeny (ratio of phenotypes): all green, 3 blue, red blue, green yellow, red 2 red yellow, brown Question 4. For the pedigree below, indicate the most likely mode of inheritance.
