    In sweet peas, the two allelic pairs C, c and P, p are known to effect pigment 

    formation in the flowers.  The dominants, C&P, are both necessary for 
    colored flowers.  Absence of either results in white flowers.  A dihybrid plant 
    is crossed to a white one which is heterozygous at the “C” locus.
    a. What is the genotype of the dihybrid plant?
    b. What is the genotype of the white plant?
    c. What kinds of flowers, colored or white, are to be expected from the 
    cross above?  Include the ratio.

    1
    Assume that another allelic pair in sweet peas also affects pigment 
    formation in addition to the genes mentioned in question 3.  The 
    presence of the dominant, R, is required for red flowers.  It’s recessive 
    allele, r, produces yellow flowers.  What would be the phenotypes of 
    the following plants in relation to flower color? 
    a.  CcPpRr b.  CcppRR c.  CcPPrr d.  ccPPRR

    2
    In a certain breed of dog, the dominant, B, is required for black fur; it’s 
    recessive, b, produces brown fur.  However, the dominant, I is the 
    epistatic to the color locus and can inhibit pigment formation.  The 
    recessive allele, i, on the other hand, permits pigment deposition in the 
    fur.  What would be the phenotypes of the following sets of parents and 
    what would be the results of the mating?
    a. bbii x BbIi b.  bbii x Bbii c.  bbIi x BBIi

    3
    In poultry, the allele, B, can result in black feathers.  Its allele, b, can produce 
    white splashed feathers.  The heterozygous results in blue feathers.  The factors 
    O and C are both required for any color at all in the feathers.  Homozygous 
    recessiveness at either locus results in white feathers.  In each of the following 
    3 cases give the genotypes of the parental birds and their offspring.
    a. Two completely white birds which produce a F1 which is black.
    b. Two black birds which produce 54 black birds and 42 white birds.
    c. Two blue birds which produce 16 black, 47 blue, and 14 white slashed 
    birds.
