In goats, the gene for coat color is on an autosome and light brown color is dominant to black. A light brown male is mated to a black female, producing a black kid (baby goat). If they produce another kid, could it be light brown? If so, what are the chances of it being light brown? Group

Sagot :

Autosomal dominant condition occurs when alleles of genes present on chromosomes in the autosomes (somatic) mask the effect of the other allele.

They can produce a light brown kid and the chances of producing this is 50%.

  • Light brown color is dominant to black. A light brown male is mated to a black female, producing a black kid.
  • For the two to produce a black kid which is in the recessive condition, the male has to be heterozygous for the condition (Bb).

Let light brown be (BB or Bb)   and black be (bb)

Parents :                   B b     x      b b

Offspring genotype:      Bb      bb

Ratio:                               1    :     1  (50%)
