3. Corn snakes show variety in their skin color pattern. While the complete genetics of corn snake color are complex, the most common colors on normal corn snakes - red and black - are each coded by one gene. For the red gene, the allele for the presence of red pigment (R) is dominant and the allele for the absence of red pigment (r) is recessive. Likewise, for the black gene, the allele for the presence of black pigment (B) is dominant and the allele for the absence of black pigment (b) is recessive. a. Draw the Punnett Square for the cross of a snake that is homozygous dominant for the red color with a snake that is heterozygous for the red color. What percentage of the offspring is expected to have red pigment in their skin? b. Draw the Punnett Square for the cross of two snakes that are heterozygous for the black color. What percentage of the offspring are expected to have black pigment in their skin? c. The parent snakes in part (b) that are heterozygous for black color are both homozygous recessive for the red gene. Each parent has genotype rr for the red gene. Based on this information, what percentage of their offspring are expected to lack both the red and black pigments in their skin? Explain your reasoning.

You are an animal breeder who likes to bring diversity to your clients. You have many different species of animals at your facility. Solve the following scenarios. a. Some horses have a beautiful coat called a roan coat. R is the allele for red hair and r is the allele for white hair. Horses with a roan coat are heterozygous for the hair color gene. They have both red and white hairs over most of their body. A red male mates with a roan female. What fraction of the offspring would be expected to be roan color? b. The blue merle coloration is a recessive trait in collies. If a blue merle and a heterozygous individual have pups what are the chances of the pair having a pup with the blue merle coloration. c. Cobras have many beautiful colors. These colors are controlled by many different genes. Let's consider 3 genes that control the hue of coloration on the cobras. A snake with dark coloration will be homozygous dominant (EEGGRR) for all three traits. A snake with light coloration will be homozygous recessive (eeggrr) for all three traits. A snake with a heterozygous genotype for all three traits will have a mid-level coloration. If a snake with dark coloration bred with a snake with mid-level coloration what are the chances of getting a baby cobra with dark coloration? Calculate the probability that their baby would have dark coloration. d. Canaries have incompletely dominant inheritance for some of their coloration including the blue coloration on their head. If you cross a pink headed canary (PP) with a blue headed canary (pp), what are the chances of getting a purple headed canary?

00:01 So in this question, we're given snakes.
00:03 We're given a big s equals rough.
00:08 Oh, no, wait, smooth.
00:10 I start that smooth.
00:13 And a little s equals rough.
00:17 And then we're given a big b equals brown and a little b equals green.
00:26 Awesome.
00:26 And then we're told that a female snake heterozygous at both loci.
00:30 Big s, little s, big b, little b, crosses with a snake that is homozygous recessive at both loci.
00:37 So little s, little s, little s, little s, little b, little b.
00:42 There we go.
00:43 And i'm just going to do a branch diagram here.
00:49 So when we cross these two, we're going to get half of them.
00:53 We're going to be big s, little s, and half of them, little s, little s.
00:57 Then when we go and cross here, you're going to get half, big b, little b, and half, little b.
01:10 And then you just repeat it over here.
01:19 Now when we go to do the end, we say, okay, 1 half times 1 half are going to be one -fourth, big s, little -s, big b, little b.
01:33 Now 1 -half times 1 -half, so 1 -4th are going to be big -s, little -s, little -b, little b.
01:40 I can do a better little -a.
01:45 Over here, same thing, 1 -4th, are going to be little -s, little -s, big -b, little -b, and 1 -4th are going to be little -s, little -s, little -s, little -b, little -b...
