Question

(3) At the pet store, you notice that zebrafish (Danio rerio) are sold in several varieties. You observe that zebrafish have longfins or short fins, and you notice that there are dark-colored bodied and golden-colored bodied varieties. You purchase several of each variety and randomly allow them to breed. You make the following observations: Mating 1: Longfin, Golden male x Longfin, Dark female Offspring: 105 Longfin, Straight Mating 2: Shortfin, dark male x Shortfin, Dark femake Offspring: Shortfin, Dark 25 Shortfin, Golden 29 Longfin, Dark 10 Longfin, Golden 81 Mating 3: Shortfin, Dark male x Longfin, Golden fernale 51Shortfin, Dark 48 Longfin, Dark Offspring: Mating 4: Longfin, Dark male x Shortfin, Golden female Offspring: 38 Shortfin, Dark 41 Shortfin, Golden a) Create a genetic nomenclature for these genes.

(4 points) -Mating 1: -Mating 2: -Mating 3: - Mating 4:

Explanation / Answer

Answer b) dominant allele - dark and short fin

Recessive allele - golden and long fin

C) Mating 1 - DDSS * Ddss

Mating 2 -DdSs * DdSs

Mating 3 - Ddss * ddss

Mating 4- Ddss * ddss
