In horses coat color is dependent upon genes as follows:
A_B_ results in bay, aaB_ in black, A_bb in chestnut, aabb
in liver. In addition, palimino is derived by Dd with
chestnut. A palimono stallion (DdAAbb) is crossed with a
palimino mare (DdAAbb). What percent of the offspring will
be palimino?
Answer / Sachin Tyagi
Both parents are heterozygous for dilution (Dd), so all offspring will have one copy of the dilution gene (either D or d). The coat color genes are independent of the dilution gene, so each offspring will have a 1/2 chance of inheriting the chestnut gene from either parent. Therefore, half of the offspring will be palimino (chestnut with stripes) and the other half will be non-palimino (either bay or liver).

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
