Coat color in mice is determined by several independently assorting autosomal genes.
Gene A is involved in the distribution of pigment along the hair. A dominant allele (A) produces a hair color called "agouti"--the hair has dark pigment at the base and tip of each hair shaft and yellow pigment in the central portion of the shaft. Homozygous recessive mice (aa) are missing the yellow stripe and thus have solid dark-colored hair.
Gene B is involved in the color of the dark pigment. A dominant allele (B) produces black pigment. Homozygous recessive mice (bb) have brown/chocolate-colored hair.
Gene C is involved in the production of all pigments. If a dominant allele (C) is present, genes A and B produce pigment. Homozygous recessive mice (cc) are albino.
If you cross two mice that are heterozygous for all three genes, what distribution of coat colors would you expect?
Rank the following coat colors from most likely to least likely in the offspring.
1st choice black agouti |
---|
2nd choice brown agouti |
3rd choice solid black |
4th choice solid brown |
5th choice albino |

During cage cleaning weeks ago, your technician accidentally put some mice into the wrong cages. You find a black agouti female in a cage with an albino male. Breeding these two mice for several litters produced the following offspring:
Given this data, can you identify the possible genotype(s) of the black agouti female parent?

In rats, several independently assorting autosomal genes affect coat color. Gene A controls the distribution of yellow pigment in hair, and gene B causes black pigmentation. The two genes interact as follows: A–B– (gray), A–bb (yellow), aaB– (black), and aabb (cream). These genotypes are only expressed in the presence of the dominant allele of a third gene, C; rats with genotype cc are albino. a. Deduce the genotype of each albino mice, to the extent that is possible, in the...
1. At least 3 independently assorting loci are known to govern coat color in mice. The genotype C- will allow pigment to be produced by 2 other genes. The cc genotype does not allow pigment production resulting in albino mice. The striped “agouti” hair pattern depends on the genotype A- and the aa genotype is nonagouti. Finally, the color of the pigment may be black (B-) or brown (bb). Five different coat colors may be produced by the action of...
Vanilla mice! Someone please help. I am having a hard time with this material and want to make sure that I am on the right track. "Fur color in mice is under the control of (at least) three unlinked loci... Question 4: (4 points) Fur color in mice is under the control of at least) three unlinked loci. The C gene determines whether melanin is produced at all; the B gene influences the amount of melanin that is deposited in...
In mice, agouti fur is a dominant trait resulting in individual hairs having a light band of pigment on an otherwise dark hair shaft. A mouse with agouti fur isshown here, along with a mouse with solid color fur, which is the recessive phenotype (A = agouti; a = solid color).A separate gene,which is not linked to the agouti gene, can result in either a dominant black pigment or a recessive brown pigment (B = black; b =brown).A litter of...
Hair color is determined in Labrador retrievers by alleles at the B and E loci. A dominant allele B encodes black pigment, whereas a recessive allele b encodes brown pigment. Allele at a second locus affect the deposition of the pigment in the shaft of the hair; dominant allele E allows dark pigment (black or brown) to be deposited, whereas recessive allele e prevents the deposition of dark pigment, causing the hair to be yellow. What type of gene interaction...
19. Two different gene loci are responsible for determining mouse coat color. A recessive lethal allele contributing to yellow coat color also exists for one of these two gene loci. The following genotypic and phenotypic information about the mouse coat color alleles is known: (6) Agouti = A-B- • Yellow = AA'B-or A'aB-or A'ab- Lethal (inviable zygote) = A'A- Black = aaB- Albino = -bb a. A cross is made that produces 2 yellow, 1 black, and 3 albino mice....
In bunnies, variations are known at two unlinked genes responsible for the coat color. The product of gene Y synthesizes a brown pigment, bunnies homozygous for the recessive loss-of-function allele y of this gene have yellow (golden) coat.The recessive allele b cannot make the black pigment. In a cross of a pure-bred yellow (golden) bunny to a pure-bred brown bunny all offspring are black. Expolain this and predict the frequencies of phenotypes of offspring in F2. ...and the frequencies of...
the answer I gave was wrong 1 1 - - 1 Hair color is determined in Labrador retrievers by alleles at the Band E loci. A dominant allele B encodes black pigment, whereas a recessive allele b encodes brown pigment. Alleles at a second locus affect the deposition of the pigment in the shaft of the hair; dominant allele E allows dark pigment (black or brown) to be deposited, whereas recessive allele e prevents the deposition of dark pigment, causing...

In the agouti mouse, the gene for coat color is next to the gene which is vital for early mouse development. These two genes have individual promoters. The promoter drives a high level of gene expression, whereas the v promoter is less active, only producing a moderate amount of yellow pigment in wild-type mice. In the agouti mouse, the genes have individual pro active, only producing ar agouti gene for coat color is next to the v gene which is...
