Learning Task 5: Read and understand the pattern of inheritance in multiple alleles. Answer the guide question in your notebook. Multiple Alleles Mendel studied just two alleles of his pea genes, but real populations often have multiple alleles of a given gene. In this activity you will learn how to crossed the gene for coat color in rabbits (the C gene) which comes in four color alleles (C, Cch, Ch, c) as shown by the figure below. ​

→ You can see the cross-over and the percentage of offspring in the picture below.

• Genotype: 4:0 ratio;  100% CCch
• Phenotype: 4:0 ratio;  100% black

 Cch        |         Cch

C CCch (black) | CCch (black)

C CCch (black) | CCch (black)

• Genotype: 1:2:1 ratio;   25% CC: 50% CCch: 25% CchCch
• Phenotype: 3:1 ratio ;  75% black: 25% Chinchilla

 C                         |         Cch

C         C C (Black) |   C Cch (Black)

Cch C Cch (Black) |   Cch Cch  (Chinchilla)

I. In rabbits, a single gene with at least 4 distinct alleles controls the coat. These four alleles demonstrate a hierarchy of allele dominance where some alleles predominate over others. Black (C) is the dominant color in this cross over all the others. The phenotype will always be black if the "C" allele is present in the genotype (CC, CCch).

Part 2

• Genotype: 4:0 ratio;  100% Chc
• Phenotype: 4:0 ratio;  100% Himalayan

                    c                 |            c

Ch Ch c  (Himalayan) | Ch c  (Himalayan)

Ch Ch c  (Himalayan) | Ch c  (Himalayan)

• Genotype: 1:2:1 ratio;   25% Ch Ch : 50% Ch c: 25% cc
• Phenotype: 3:1 ratio ;  75% Himalayan: 25% Albino

          Ch                  |  c

Ch  Ch Ch  (Himalayan) | Ch c (Himalayan)

c Ch c (Himalayan)         | c c (Albino)

In rabbits, a single gene with at least 4 distinct alleles controls the coat. These four alleles demonstrate a hierarchy of allele dominance where some alleles predominate over others. Black (C) is the dominant color in this cross over all the others. The phenotype will always be black if the "C" allele is present in the genotype (CC, CCch).

One of the most well-known examples of multiple allele inheritance is coat color in rabbits. There are 4 distinct alleles of a single gene that affect the color.

These alleles exhibit the following dominance hierarchies:

• Cch > Ch > > c
• Black, Cinnamon, Himalayan, and Albino

The SUMMARY of each allele, potential genotypes, and dominance order is as follows:

• genotypes include CC, CCch, CCh, and Cc.
• superior to all others

• genotypes include CchCch, CchCh, and Cchc.
• superior to Himalayan and Albino

• genotypes: Chc and ChCh
• superior to Albino

• the genotype cc
• opposite of everyone else
