1. Consider a certain species of grasshopper with a body that exhibits two phenotypes for pattern: 1) light green spots and 2) solid color with no spots. The solid allele is dominant and the green-spotted allele is recessive. For a total of 487 grasshoppers, 445 are solid and 42 have green spots.
a. List and describe all possible genotypes and phenotypes.
b. What is the phenotypic frequency of the grasshoppers that have no spots.
c. What is the phenotypic frequency of the green-spotted grasshoppers? (Round answer to two decimal places.)
d. Calculate the frequency of the recessive allele in this population. (Round answer to two decimal places.)
e. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele in this population.
f. Explain why the phenotypic frequency and genotypic frequency of the green spotted grasshoppers is the same value.
g. Explain why the phenotypic frequency and genotypic frequency of the solid grasshoppers IS NOT the same value.

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?
