In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant

gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_P_). A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rrP_). If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rrpp), a single comb is produced. Give genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the crosses listed below. a. Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring. b. Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring. c. Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring. d. Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring. e. Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring. f. Rose crossed with single produces 10 rose and 11 single offspring.

Answer and Explanation:

<em><u>Available data</u></em>:

  • Comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p).
  • The walnut comb genotype is R_P_.
  • The rose comb genotype is R_pp.
  • The pea comb genotype is rrP_.
  • The single genotype is rrpp.

a. <em>Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring: </em>

Parental)             RrPp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   RP   Rp   rP   rp     rp   rp   rp   rp

Punnet Square)      RP       Rp     rP        rp

                     rp   <em>RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp</em>

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

b. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring</em>.

Parental)              RRpp       x          rrPP

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   Rp   Rp     rP   rP   rP   rP

Punnet Square)      Rp       Rp     Rp        Rp

                    rP    RrPp    RrPp   RrPp   RrPp

                     rP    RrPp    RrPp   RrPp   RrPp

F1 phenotype: 100% walnut.

F1 genotype: 16/16 RrPp.

c. <em>Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because the pea genotype involves <u>at least</u> one dominant allele P. There are two possible crosses: <em>rrPp x rrpp</em>, which must produce half of the progeny pea and the other half single, or <em>rrPP x rrpp</em> which produce a whole pea progeny with no single offspring.  

Parental)              rrPp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   rP   rp   rP   rp     rp   rp   rp   rp

Punnet Square)     rP       rp       rP      rp

                     rp   <em>rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp</em>

                    rp    rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 50% pea, and 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 rrPp, 8/16 rrpp.

d. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because having one of the parents with a rose phenotype  involves <u>at least one R allele</u>, which means that <u>there must be rose phenotype</u> in the progeny.

Parental)             Rrpp       x          rrPp

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   rp   rp     rP   rP   rp   rp

                     rp   Rrpp    Rrpp   rrpp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

e. <em>Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring</em>.

Parental)              RRpp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   Rp   Rp     rp   rp   rp   rp

                     rp    Rrpp    Rrpp   Rrpp   Rrpp

F1 phenotype: 100% rose (31 individuals equal 100% of the progeny).

F1 genotype: 16/16 Rrpp.

f. <em>Rose crossed with single produces 10 rose and 11 single offspring.</em>

Parental)              Rrpp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   rp   rp     rP   rP   rp   rp
