Spotteddog Interactive BioStudio:Genetics


In dogs, black coat color [B] is dominant to red coat color [b], and solid coat [S] is dominant to spotted coat [s]. Question: If a dog with a solid black coat (genotype: BbSs) is crossed with a dog with a spotted black coat (genotype: Bbss), what percentage of the puppies will have a spotted black coat, assuming the two genes are unlinked (show independent assortment?


Lets figure out the percentage by constructing a Punnett square!

First enter in the alleles for the gametes of Parent 1 and Parent 2.

Then fill in the Punnett square.

Here is the cross you should perform!

Bb x Bb

Parent 2   Parent 1
 
   
   

Enter the correct alleles in each white box

 

Ah hah, I can answer this question now without further assistance!
