Gibbits are small mammals kept as pets by the Taqueq tribe of Madagascar. They are almost denuded of facial hair, except for some long whiskers that vary in number between two and fourteen. The exact number of whiskers any one gibbit has is determined by 3 quantitative loci.  If one crosses a 14 whisker gibbit with a 2 whisker gibbit, one gets 8 whisker gibbits  for the F1. If the F1 individuals are crossed, what is the probability of getting a 4 whisker gibbit?

    On the island of Notion, in the Factotum Archipelago, there lives a population of pencil bears. A portion of these bears have silky fur, and as a result, are much better surfers. The texture of the fur is determined by a single autosomal locus with two alleles: S (trait allele) and s (wild type allele). In a recent study, researched collected the values in the following table: Table 1. Counts of Pencil Bear fur style by genotype Phenotype Genotype Silky...

    2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
