Answer: a In cattle, roan coat color (mixed red and white) occurs in the heterozygous (Rr) offspring of red (RR) and white (rr).

Which of the following crosses would produce the highest percentage of roan cattle? red x white roan x roan white x roan red x roan all of the above would give the same percentage of roan cattle.

A culture of white-eyed fruit flies was maintained for many generations. Females from the stock white-eyed culture were crossed with red-eyed (wild type) males. The F1 females were crossed with the white eyed males from the original culture. The resulting phenotypes are listed. P1 cross: white eyed female x red eyed male F1 generation : 100% females red eyed 100% males white eyed F1 cross: red eyed females x white eyed males F2 generation: 50% females red eyed, 50% females white eyed 50 % males red eyed, 50 % males white eyed

The best explanation for the red eyed F1 females is mutation culture contamination dominance multiple loci sex-influenced traits Answer: c

There are white eyed females in the F2 generation because white is a dominant allele. the white allele is autosomal. a mutation has occurred. these F2 females have two white alleles. the white allele is located on the Y chromosome. Answer: d
