MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: AThe most likely scenario is that the white mouse displays the recessive trait. If this is the case, then the white mouse must be homozygous. If the white mouse were either homozygous dominant or heterozygous, then it would likely produce white offspring when mated with a brown mouse.

FeedbackA Correct.B If the white mouse is heterozygous, then this would mean white is dominant and its

brown mate is homozygous recessive. Such a cross would yield about half white and brown offspring.

C If the white mouse were homozygous dominant, then its offspring would have to be white.

D Sperm and eggs are haploid. Individual mice are not.

18. ANS: AThe original parents must be heterozygous (Bb) since they produced both black and white offspring. The white offspring must be homozygous recessive (bb). If the white offspring is crossed with its parent then half the offspring will be white.

The most likely scenario is that the white mouse displays the recessive trait. If this is the case, then the white mouse must be homozygous. If the white mouse were either homozygous dominant or heterozygous, then it would likely produce white offspring when mated with a brown mouse.

FeedbackA Sperm and eggs are haploid. Individual mice are not.B If the white mouse is heterozygous, then this would mean white is dominant and its

brown mate is homozygous recessive. Such a cross would yield about half white and brown offspring.

C Correct.D If the white mouse were homozygous dominant, then its offspring would have to be

white.
