Honors Biology
Extra Credit Lab Question
Logical Reasoning:
It appears that the mother of the pups is yellow. Using this
information, I deduce that the mother is probably dominant for Melanin
production. However, some of her puppies are black and others are brown, so the
mother was probably not dominant for color. This would mean that her genotype
would have to be either ccMm or ccMM. The puppies were all dominant colors for
color, so the father was homozygous dominant for color and heterozygous for
melanin production, which would mean that the mother would also have to be
heterozygous for the melanin production to get the colors of pups that were
created.
Results:
Mommy = ccMm
Daddy = CCMm
Conclusion:
These results are the only possible combination that I was able
to find that would make sense for the color of puppies that were generated from
the information provided about
