II. Design a Species

I, as Zoologist Nguyen, have traveled to the islands of Hipsyla and have just discovered a new species of bird. I've never seen anything like it! It's color, it's beak, it's wings even! I've been observing it for a few days now, surviving on nothing but some cans of Spam and Capri-Suns. It's worth it though, for this magnificent creature has yet to be shown to the world. It's not hostile, as far as I can see. I shall call this bird the Long-Nosed Tengu. The Tengu are ancient Japanese monster-spirits and are usually seen as "birds of prey", meaning that their physical features resembles that of a human and a bird. Anyways, on to my research and observation of this creature thus far:

• 2 Single Allele Traits: (Tail color) White tailed (TT)/Brown tailed (tt), (Eye color) Gold eyes (CC)/Copper eyes (cc)

• 1 Co-dominant Allele Trait: (Beak) White beaked (BB)/blue beaked(bb)/white & blue beaked (Bb)

• 1 Multiple Allele Trait: (Wing) Soaring wings (FF), High speed wings (GG), High-lift wings (FG), Elliptical wings (EE/EG/EF)

• 1 Sex-linked Trait: (spots) *X-linked gene* Female, round spots X^(r)X^(r)/Male, round spots X^(r)Y/Female, starry spots X^(s)X^(s)/ Male, starry spots X^(s)Y/ Female, starry & round spots X^(r)X^(s)

• 1 Incomplete Dominance Trait: (head color) Yellow (YY), Blue (bb), Green (Yb)

1. 2 Single Allele Traits:

























1 Co-dominant Allele Trait:













1 Multiple Allele Trait:













1 Sex-linked Trait:
(Not sure why this one is flipped on it's side...you'll just have to tilt your head to the right a bit)















1 Incomplete Dominance Trait:













2. Long Nosed Tengu #1












Long Nosed Tengu #2













3. Pedigree:













4. Dihybrid Cross:













5. Questions:
1. Create a punnet square crossing a Tengu homozygous dominant for tail color with a Tengy homozygous recessive for tail color. What are your results?

2. If you crossed a 2 Tengus, both heterozygous for eye color, what ratios are produced?

3. Can a male ever be a carrier for any trait? Why or why not?

6.

• The traits that are displayed are the white tail (TT), copper eyes (cc), white beaked (BB) *Forgot to put white straw over beak*, high speed wings (GG), female, starry & round spots X^(r)X^(s), and the Green head (Yb).
