The F2 progeny from a particular cross exhibit a modified dihybrid ratio of 9 : 7 (instead of 9 : 3 : 3 : 1). What phenotypic ratio would be expected from a testcross of the F1?

In birds, sex is determined by a ZW chromosome scheme. Males are ZZ and females are ZW. A recessive lethal allele that causes death of the embryo is sometimes present on the Z chromosome in pigeons. What would be the sex ratio in the offspring of a cross between a male that is heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female?

Assume that long ear lobes in humans are an autosomal dominant trait that exhibits 50% penetrance. A person who is heterozygous for long ear lobes mates with a person who is homozygous for normal ear lobes. What is the probability that their first child will have long ear lobes.

In some goats, the presence of horns is produced by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 offspring are intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 offspring will have horns?
