Two autosomal genes controlhorn color in dragons Purebreedin

Two autosomal genes controlhorn color in dragons. Pure-breeding gold-horned dragons were mated to pure-breeding silver-horned dragons. All of the F1 were gold. The F1 were intermated and he F2 generation consisted of 139 gold, 16 silver and 93 bronze.

Choose the genetically based phenotypic ratio that should be hypothesized to explain the F2 data.

Solution

The ration of the F2 generation obtained from the cross between the F1 gold phenotyped dragons is 9:6:1 ( 9 gold: 6 bronze: 1 silver ).

It is due to duplicate genes due to cumilative effect.

Let \'A\' be the allele for Gold horn color and \'a\' be the allele for silver

AABB (gold horn) X aabb ( silver horn)

F1 - AaBb( Gold horn)

0.56 is expected number of gold-horned dragons

0.062 is the expected number of silver-horned dragons

0.375 is the number of bronzehorned dragons
