Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dogs have a variety of genes that govern coat colour. There are at least eleven identified gene series (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, M, P, S, T) that influence coat colour in dogs. A dog inherits one gene from each of its parents. The dominant gene gets expressed in the phenotype. For example, in the B series, a dog can be genetically black or brown. Let us assun1e that one parent is homozygous black (BB), while the other parent is homozygous brown (bb) BB + bb = 4 numbers of Bb
In this case, all the off springs will be heterozygous (Bb) Since black (B) is dominant, all the off springs will be black.
However, they will have both B and b allels.
If such heterozygous pups (Bb) are crossed, they will produce 25% homozygous black (BB), 50% heterozygous black (Bb), and 25% homozygous brown (bb) offspring
Bb+Bb=1BB, 2Bb and 1bb
