In a breed of cats, the dominant genes are white hair (FF or Ff) and amber eyes (EE or Ee), and the recessive genes are calico hair (ff) and blue eyes (ee). Cross a heterozygous white haired, blue-eyed male with a calico haired, homozygous amber-eyed female and name the genotypic ratio of the litter.

In a population of squirrels, brown fur (QQ or Qq) is dominant to grey fur (qq). Cross a heterozygous brown squirrel with a grey squirrel and name the genotypic ratio.
What is 2:2?
In a species of rabbits, short hair (HH or Hh) and floppy ears (EE or Ee) are the dominant genes. Long hair (hh) and pointy ears (ee) are the recessive genes. Cross a long-haired, homozygous floppy-eared female rabbit with a heterozygous short-haired, pointy-eared male rabbit. How many pointy eared kits will they have?
What is 0?
Blue eyes are considered to be the _________ compared to brown eyes.
What is recessive?

Who is Gregor Mendel?
What is the type of biotechnology that makes many copies of DNA using a sample that contains small amounts of DNA?
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)?
In a species of frogs, spotted frogs (ff) are recessive to striped frogs (FF or Ff). Suppose two spotted frogs mated and one of their offspring mated with a homozygous striped frog. Female frogs can lay up to 4,000 eggs, so calculate how many spotted frogs there will be in the F2 generation of frogs.
What is 0?
In rats, straight tails (TT or Tt) and unfolded ears (GG or Gg) are dominant to curly tails (tt) and folded ears (gg). Cross a heterozygous straight-tailed and folded-eared female rat with a curly-tailed and folded-eared male rat. How many curly tailed kits will there be?

In cattle, being hornless (HH or Hh) is dominant over being horned (hh). Imagine two heterozygous hornless cows mate, and one of the calves they had mated with another heterozygous hornless cow. The cow from the F2 generation birthed a hornless cow. What genotype might the cow from the F2 generation have?
What is Hh, hh?
In lions, brown hair (BB or Bb) is dominant to beige hair (bb), and non-tufted tails (tt) are recessive to tufted tails (TT or Tt). Cross a beige-haired, homozygous tufted-tailed female with a heterozygous brown-haired, non-tufted tailed male. Name the genotypic ratio and phenotypic ratio.
