In a hypothetical breed of cats eye color is controlled by t

In a hypothetical breed of cats, eye color is controlled by three genes. The A-gene product converts a precursor molecule to yellow pigment. The B-gene product converts the precursor to blue pigment. Eyes that contain both pigments are green, whereas eyes that contain neither pigment appear red because the red retina is visible through the unpigmented iris. The pigment precursor molecule is produced by the C-gene product. The following results were obtained in crosses with true-breeding cats that each contain a mutation in a s gle eye-color gene. Eye color of female progeny Eye color of male progeny Cross green green blue-eyed female Xyellow-eyed male yellow eyed female x blue-eved male green yellow blue-eyed female xred-eyed male green green red-eyed female x blue-eyed male green red In the pedigrees below, a shaded upper left quadrant indicates lack of A-gene product, a shaded lower left quadrant indicates lack of B-gene product, and a shaded right half indicates lack of C-gene product. Determine the eye color of the F1 males and females produced in the matings indicated by the pedigrees.

Solution

1. Blue female X yellow male-------> Green eyed female and Green eyed male

2. Blue eyed female X Red eyed male--------> Green eyed female and Green eyed male

3. Red eyed female X Blue eyed male------> Green female and Red male.
