1) Which of the following scenarios best describes an epistatic gene?

a. Fur pattern is controlled by two genes such that one gene inhibits the expression of the other gene.

b. Mouse fur colours are expressed as a blend of the dominant black colour and the recessive white colour, resulting in a heterozygous brown colour.

c. Individuals with sickle cell anemia and carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria.

d. Chicken combs follow a dominance hierarchy whereby a walnut comb is the most dominant and a single comb is the least dominant.

          RrPp              pea comb

b.   Genotype          Phenotype
         RrPp                walnut comb

c.  Genotype   Phenotype
       RRPP        walnut comb

d.  Genotype   Phenotype

4) Which of the following represents the correct phenotypes of the F2 offspring?

a.    Phenotype               
    Single                 Walnut               Pea                  Rose
     1 / 16                     9 / 16               3 / 16                 3  / 16


b.    Phenotype
  Single                   Walnut                    Pea          Rose
   3 / 16                      1 / 16                    9 / 16          3 / 16


c.    Phenotype
  Single                  Walnut                       Pea             Rose
  3 / 16                   9 / 16                       1/ 16            3  / 16


d.   Phenotype
  Single                 Walnut                        Pea                 Rose
   9 /  16                   3 / 16                      3 / 16                  1 /  16









5) The Labrador Retriever’s coat colours are black, yellow, and chocolate.

Yellow is produced by the presence of a recessive epistatic gene, which has the effect of masking the black and chocolate colour genes. Black (B) is dominant to chocolate (b).

Therefore, the possible genotypes and corresponding phenotypes are:

Phenotype                                Possible Genotypes

Black                                                    G__B__

Brown                                                   G__bb

Yellow                                                    gg__
