Why is it white ( be specific) ____________________________________ b. What would the rat look like if its genotype was Ww? _____________________ 40) In gerbil coat color, black is dominant and brown is recessive. Black male mates with a brown female and produces 10 offspring. Four offspring are black and 6 offspring are brown. a. What genotype is the father? _______________ b. What is a test cross? ________________________________ c. Prove it with a Punnet square! 41) In Snapdragons red flowers are dominant to white flowers. Cross a red flower and a white flower. a) What type of dominance is this? b) Cross any two of the offspring of the above cross. i) What is the new phenotype ratio? ___________ 42) A father has sickle cell anemia, and marries a woman that has normal blood cells. What are the chances of their child having Sickle Cell anemia? ___________ a) Show the cross! 43) A certain couple had a child with O blood type, but they are A type and B type. a) Is this possible? Explain! 44) Another couple had a child the same day at the same hospital. They are A and AB… Could this child with 0 type be theirs? 45) Color Blindness is a genetic disorder.
