Blood type in cats is controlled a bit differently than in h

Blood type in cats is controlled a bit differently than in humans. They have one of two blood types, A or B, which are controlled by two alleles. Blood type A is expressed from the IA allele and is completely dominant over the i^B allele which expresses blood type friend of mine has a cat, named Loser, that has A blood. How would you go about determining genotype? As we discussed in class, Menders dihybrid cross resulted in 4 different kinds of peas-round/yellow, round/green, wrinkled/yellow, and wrinkled/green. How do the mechanisms of meiosis explain his observations? At right you see four phenotypes found in big cats. In the tigers, the orange color coat is the normal wild type phenotype. In the jaguars, the yellow coat is the normal wild type phenotype. Explain whether the mutations leading to the white tiger and \"black panther\" phenotypes are gain-of-function or loss-of- function mutations? Be sure to specify if these mutations are dominant or recessive to the wild type allele. In the millet plant color is determined by the combination of 3 different alleles at

Solution

Blood group in cat is determined by a single pair of genes. Blood type A denoted by IA allel which is dominant over IB allel that expresses blood type B.

As Loser has blood group A it means it may have two type of possibilities- homozygous condition and heterozygous condition.

Homozygous condition: IA|IA

Heterozygous condition: IA|IB
