In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Micewith this trait are called “running mice” (R). The recessive traitcauses mice to run in circles only. Mice with this trait are called“waltzing mice” (r)

Hair color is also inherited in mice.Black hair (B) is dominantover brown hair (b).

A) Cross a heterozygous running mouse with a homozygous runningmouse.

i. What are the parentgenotypes? __________ x ____________

  1. Rr X RR

Rr, RR, RR, Rr

So all will be running mice with a genotypic ratio of 1:1 or Rr and RR

Phenotypic ratio = 4:0

2. B)

bb xbb

bb,bb,bb,bb

100% brown mice.

Genotypic and phenotypic ratio will be 4:0

C)

rr X Rr

Rr, Rr, rr, rr

Phenotypic ratio = 1:1 of walting to running mice

Genotypic ratio 1:1 of walting to running mice

D).
