The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents.
Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and
electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by
an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were
typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution
of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD.
What is the frequency of the C allele?

People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter how hard they try. Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue roller, then what is the probability of the offspring inheriting the tongue rolling gene?

In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?

In snapdragons tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t). Red flowers are produced by RR and white flowers by rr but the heterozygous Rr is pink. A dwarf red snapdragon is crossed to a homozygous tall plant with white flowers. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1? the F2?

The dominant gene (G) produces green hair in mermaids and the recessive gene (g) produces blue hair. Webbed fingers are due to the dominant gene (F) and normal fingers are recessive (f). A mermaid who was heterozygous for hair color and who had normal fingers had a father with blue hair and webbed fingers and a mother with green hair and webbed fingers. What are the genotypes of all individuals (as completely as possible)?
