Dog Genetics Webinar

Review
1. What does it mean for a dog to have furnishings?

2. What gene determines whether a dog has furnishings?

3. What is an allele?

4. Describe the genetic difference between the two alleles of the RSPO2 gene.

5. Is the presence of furnishings dominant or recessive?

6. Summarize the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

7. Fill in the table below using the following words and phrases: no furnishings,
furnishings, FF, ff, Ff
Phenotype Possible genotype(s)

8. Why is gel electrophoresis a good tool to differentiate between alleles for the
furnishings gene?

9. Use the gel below to determine each dog’s RSPO2 genotype

b. What are the expected genotypic ratios?

c. What are the expected phenotypic ratios?

3. Use the illustration of the electrophoresis results to determine each puppy’s


RSPO2 genotype. Then, use that information to predict whether each puppy will
have furnishings or not once their fur grows longer.
