A youngster has dozens of pet mice and asks you why their coat colors are so different. He explains that his favorite color is black with white patches and wonders how he can get more of them, yet his favorite mice are actually the "nice" white ones who are gentler than the active nippy black ones. You decide to give a simple genetics lesson. Help the youngster set up an artificial selection for "nice" black mice with white spots, including an indication of expected results and an interpretation of the data. Breed male black mice with female white mice and male white mice with female black mice. Interbreed the offspring. Test all black mice with white spots for gentle behavior and breed the gentlest males to the gentlest females. If the genes for coat color and gentle behavior are unlinked, are not closely linked, or are not the same gene, this experimental design will result in the production of gentle mice that are black with white spots. If this selection is continued for numerous generations, the genes will become fixed in the population and gentle black mice with white spots will always result.

As an owner of an orchard you realize that the selective breeding of apple trees to produce the most beautiful red apples have left customers displeased with the now bland-tasting beautiful apples. What has been indicated about the two traits? How would you as an orchard owner fix the problem for the long term? The genes for taste and red color are not linked. To fix the beautiful but tasteless apple problem, a rederivation of the apples is necessary. It will be necessary to cross trees with beautiful red apples to trees with tasty apples. Each generation of trees should be observed for both tasty and colorful fruit. Then crosses should be made between the flowers of trees with fruit that is the most tasty and colorful. As you might imagine, fixing the problem in your orchard will take a very long time using this method.

You are out on a nature walk up in the mountains and you find a pretty wildflower in the lower altitude that is short and bushy with small, fragrant, bright purple flowers. In the higher altitude you find what seems to be the same plant, yet it is tall and sparse with larger flowers of the same color and fragrance. A) Set up an experiment to test the hypothesis that the plants are different due to genetic but not environmental influences. B) Is it possible to tell if both genetic and environmental effects occur?

A) Assuming these are not endangered plants and you are not in a protected area, obtain several specimens from each location. Plant seeds of both types of plants in both low- and high-altitude locations. Observe the offspring. If the offspring look the same as their parental stock, then the differences are simply genetic in nature. If the offspring look short and bushy with small fragrant, bright purple flowers in the lower altitude, but tall and sparse with larger flowers of the same color and fragrance in the higher altitude, then the differences are due to environmental influences. B) Yes, a combination of the traits would indicate that both environmental and genetic influences play a role in the differences you have identified.

You wish to know the genotype of some carrot plants that you have grown in your garden so that you might grow more of them. They have reddish orange flesh, are sweet in taste, long in root, and short in leaf. Using classical genetic techniques how would you determine the genotype? You need to determine the dominant/recessive nature of each trait. Set up crosses between reddish orange, sweet tasting, long in root, and short in leaf carrot plants and true orange, plain tasting, short in root, and long in leaf carrot plants to determine each dominant trait. Then create a "tester plant" that is recessive for all four traits. Cross your favorite carrot plants with the tester and observe the offspring.

What could you do to determine your probability of having this late-onset disease? Create a pedigree of your family tree for the late-onset disease going back at least three but as many generations as possible. Based on the family pedigree, you need to determine whether the trait is recessive or dominant, and autosomal or sex-linked. Use the product rule to determine the probability of your having inherited the trait. Keep in mind that individuals not old enough to exhibit the trait should be diagramed as unknowns on your pedigree, and your probability of inheriting the disease may depend on whether an unknown individual carries the trait.
