In ant lions the gene for dull teeth is dominant D. The recessive gene d produces sharp teeth . Another gene T, when homozygous , produces dark-brown coats .

If a chocolate coloured , dull toothed male whose father was sharp toothed is mated to a chocolate , sharp -toothed female , what is the probability that an albino , sharp - toothed offspring will be produced ?

If 'A' represents the dominant gene and 'a' represents its recessive allele, which of the following would be the most likely result in the first generation offspring when Aa is crossed with aa?

In Pisum, yellow seed colour (Y) is dominant over green (y), and round shape of seed (R ) is dominant over wrinkled (y). Consider that these two pair of genes assort independently, then (i) What proportion of the offsprings from the cross the cross YyRr xx yyrr would expected to have yellow-seeded trait ? (ii) From the cross Yyrr xx Yyrr , how many will be pure yellow-wrinkled plants in the resulting generation ?

Dominant gene for tallness is T and for yellow color is Y. A plant heterozygous for both the traits is selfed, then the ratio of pure homozygous dwarf and green offspring would be

In an animal assume that rough coat (R ) is domiant over smooth coat (r ) and the black (B) is dominant over white (b). Consider that these two pairs of alleles assort independently then (i) What proportion of the offspring from the cross RrBb xx "RRBB" would be rough and black ? (ii) From the cross RrBB xx rrBB . how many progeny will be homozygous for both of the characters ?

Genes a, b and c assort independently and are recessive to their respective alleles A, B and C. Two triple heterozygous AaBbCc individual are crossed. What is the probability that a given offspring will be genotypically homozygous for all three dominant alleles :-

A gene has two alleles B and b. B is responsible for the expression of character x . b. is responsible for the expression of character y. B. is completely dominant over b. Another gene A is epistatic on gene B. When A is in the dominant condition it suppress the expression of B and b and gives rise to character z.In recessive condition (allele a) allows expression of B and b. When an organism with genotype AaBb is crossed with another organism with genotype AaBb, the ratio of characters x,y and z seen in its offsprings is
