Question:

In mice, a series of five alleles determines fur color. In order of dominance, these alleles are as follows: AY, yellow fur but homozygous lethal; AL, agouti with light belly; A+, agouti (wild-type); at, black and tan; and a, black. For each of the following crosses, give the coat color of the parents and the phenotypic ratios expected among the progeny: 

(a) AYAL × AYAL

(b) AYa × ALat

(c) ata × AYa; 

(d) ALat × ALAL

(e) ALAL × AYA+; 

(f) A+at × ata;

(g) ata × aa; 

(h) AYAL × A+at; and 

(i) AYaL × AYA+.
