प्रश्न
Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs.
उत्तर
Dogs have a variety of genes that govern coat colour. There are at least eleven identified gene series (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, M, P, S, T) that influence coat colour in dog.
A dog inherits one gene from each of its parents. The dominant gene gets expressed in the phenotype. For example, in the B series, a dog can be genetically black or brown.
Let us assume that one parent is homozygous black (BB), while the other parent is homozygous brown (bb).
| bb | BB | ||
| B | B | ||
| b | Bb | Bb | |
| b | Bb | Bb | |
In this case, all the offspring will be heterozygous (Bb).
Since black (B) is dominant, all the offspring will be black. However, they will have both B and b alleles.
If such heterozygous pups are crossed, they will produce 25% homozygous black (BB), 50% heterozygous black (Bb), and 25% homozygous brown (bb) offspring.
| B | b | |
| B | BB | Bb |
| b | Bb | Bb |
