Agouti is a type of coat-color pattern in mice that cannot be expressed in albinos (white mice). Non Albino mice without the dom

inant agouti allele ( AAbb and Aabb) are black. An agouti mouse that is heterozygous at the albino ( A) and agouti ( B) loci ( AaBb) is mated to an albino mouse that is heterozygous at the agouti locus ( aaBb). What percent of the progeny are likely to be agouti

Answer:

37.5%

Explanation:

These here are

Black (AA or Aa) and albino (aa)

Agouti (Bb or BB)

Thus, a cross between

AaBb and aaBb

The percent of the progeny which are likely to be agouti would be

A. a. B. b

a. Aa. aa. B. BB. Bb

a. Aa. aa. b. Bb. bb

The probability of agouti would be

1/2 (Aa) * 3/4 (BB or Bb)

= 3/8

= 37.5%

Answer:

The percentage of the progeny that are likely to be Agouti = 37.5%

Explanation:

From the given information;

An agouti mouse that is heterozygous at the albino ( A) and agouti ( B) loci ( AaBb) is mated to an albino mouse that is heterozygous at the agouti locus ( aaBb).

Agouti mouse = AaBb

If the Agouti mouse self cross; gamete needed for the crossing will be:

AB, Ab , aB, ab

Albino mouse = aaBb

If the Albino mouse self cross; gamete needed for the crossing will be:

aB, ab, aB, ab

The crossing can now be represented in a punnet square as shown below:

   

                AB                 Ab                 aB                    ab

aB            AaBB            AaBb             aaBB               aaBb

ab            AaBb           Aabb             aaBb               aabb

aB           AaBB            AaBb             aaBB               aaBb

ab           AaBb             Aabb              aaBb               aabb

The objective if this question is to determine the percentage of the progeny that are likely to be agouti

Let's recall that for a progeny to be agouti ; There is need for the genotype of such agouti mouse to be dominant for both traits or heterozygous for both traits.

Thus; we have;

AaBB ,  AaBb , AaBb,  AaBB, AaBb, AaBb = 6/16

The percentage of the progeny that are likely to be Agouti = 0.375

= 37.5%

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
