. In domestic cattle the spotting pattern of the coat can be controlled by several alleles. The Dutch belt pattern is controlled by a dominant allele “A”. The Hereford pattern is “a1”, a solid pattern is “a2”, and the Holstein pattern is “a”. The Dutch belt pattern is dominant to all other alleles. The Hereford pattern is dominant to the solid and the Holstein pattern. The solid pattern is dominant to the Holstein pattern and the Holstein pattern is recessive to all. So the dominance pattern looks like this: A>a1>a2>a. Use this information to answer the following questions. a. Can Holsteins produce Hereford offspring? Explain your answer. b. Can Herefords produce solid offspring? Explain your answer. c. Is it possible for two parents with different color patterns to have four offspring all with different phenotypes? Explain your answer. Include a Punnett square or squares to explain your answer.

No, Holsteins cannot produce Hereford offspring because the Hereford pattern is dominant to the Holstein pattern and the Holstein pattern is recessive to all.

Recessive is a genetic trait that occurs when two copies of a gene are inherited from both parents, and only the recessive version of the gene is expressed. When a recessive gene is paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene will take precedence and the recessive trait will not be expressed. For example, in the case of eye color, the dominant gene for brown eyes will override the recessive gene for blue eyes.

a. No, Holsteins cannot produce Hereford offspring because the Hereford pattern is dominant to the Holstein pattern and the Holstein pattern is recessive to all.

b. Yes, Herefords can produce solid offspring. The Hereford pattern is dominant to the solid pattern, so two Hereford parents can produce solid offspring with a genotype of Aa2.

c. Yes, it is possible for two parents with different color patterns to have four offspring all with different phenotypes. For example, if one parent has the Dutch belt pattern (genotype Aa) and one parent has the Hereford pattern (genotype Aa1), then four offspring with different phenotypes can be produced. The possible genotypes of the offspring are Aa, Aa1, aa, and aa1. The Punnett square would look like this:

Aa  Aa1

Aa  Aa1

aa  aa1
