A student encounters an animal embryo at the eight-cell stage. The four smaller cells that comprise one hemisphere of the embryo seem to be rotated 45 degrees and lie in the grooves between larger, underlying cells (spiral cleavage). If we were to separate these eight cells and attempt to culture them individually, then what is most

likely to happen?

In the multiple allele series that determines coat color in rabbits, c+codes for agouti, cch for chinchilla and ch for Himalayan. Dominance is in the order c+>cch>ch. In a cross of c+/cch X cch/ch, what proportion of progeny will be chinchilla?

A man with type A blood group marries a woman with type A blood group. Their first child has type O blood. What is the genotype of the Man, proportion of his gametes are expected to contain the IA allele, and probability that their next child will have type A blood respectively:

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?
