One mouse is yellow in color, and the other is brown agouti. (Agouti hairs have bands of yellow while non-agouti hairs are solid-colored.) You know that this mouse colony has animals with different al- leles at only three coat color genes: the agouti (A) or non-agouti (a) or yellow. (A') alleles of the A gene (A A>a: A is a recessive lethal), the black (B) or brown (b) alleles of the B gene (B> b), and the albino (c) or non-albino (C) alleles of the C gene (C> e, ce is epistatic to all other phenotypes). However, you don' know which alleles of these genes are actually present in each of the animals that you've captured. To deter- mine the genotypes, you breed the two escaped mice to- × yellow a.

Par ound WR 3.21 and Fig. 3.28b both show traits that are ined by two genes, each of which has two in- tely dominant alleles. But in Fig. 3.21 the gene ion produces nine different phenotypes, while

Explanation / Answer

37) In dihybrid cross, if the two genes assort independently of each other, the phenotypic ratio that can be observed in the F2 progeny is 9:3:3:1. This is in accordance with Mendel's law of independent assortment.

If the phenotypic ratio is modified in the F2 progeny, we can infer that the genes are not assorting independently. Therefore, if we know the biochemical mechanism of gene interaction, we can easily predict the F2 phenotypic ratio.
