The Following Coat Colors Are Determined by Alleles at One  Cross \text { Cross }

Question 24

Essay

The following coat colors are determined by alleles at one locus in horses:
palomino = golden coat with lighter mane and tail
cremello = almost white
chestnut = brown
The following table gives ratios obtained in matings of the above varieties:
 Cross \text { Cross } \quad \quad Parents \text { Parents } \quad \quad \quad Offspring \text { Offspring }
1 cremello X cremello  all cremello 2 chestnut X chestnut  all chestnut 3 cremello X chestnut  all palomino 4 palomino x palomino 1/4= chestnut 1/2= palomino 1/4= cremello \begin{array}{ll}\hline \\1 \text { cremello } \mathrm{X} \text { cremello } & \text { all cremello } \\2 \text { chestnut } \mathrm{X} \text { chestnut } & \text { all chestnut } \\3 \text { cremello } \mathrm{X} \text { chestnut } & \text { all palomino } \\4 \text { palomino } \mathrm{x} \text { palomino } & 1 / 4=\text { chestnut }\\&1 / 2=\text { palomino }\\&1 / 4=\text { cremello }\end{array}
Assign gene symbols for the genetic control of coat color on the basis of these data.
