20) When Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed his red-eyed F1 generation flies to each othe F2 generation included both red- and white-eved flies. Remarkably, all the white-eyed flies were male. What was the explanation for this result? A) The gene involved is located on the Y chromosome. B) The gene involved is located on the X chromosome. C) The gene involved is located on an autosome, but only in males. D) Other male-specific factors influence eye color in flies.

In the lab, you discover two yeast haploid mutants that cannot produce arginine. You cross them together and the resulting diploid produces arginine. If producing arginine is the wild type phenotype, what can you definitively conclude? A.The haploid strains have identical mutations in the same genes. B.The haploid strains have identical mutations in different genes. C.The haploid strains have mutations in different genes. D.The haploid strains have mutations in the same gene. E.The haploid strains must belong to the complementation group encoding the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway.

In Drosophila, the genes for withered wings (whd), smooth abdomen (sm) and speck body (sp) are located on chromosome 2 and are separated by the following map distances:whd ----------(30.5)----------sm-----(15.5)-----spA female with withered wings and a smooth abdomen was mated to a male with a speck body.The resulting phenotypically wild-type females were mated with males that had the mutant phenotype for all three traits, producing 1000 offspring. Calculate the number of expected double crossover progeny. Express your answer to the nearest whole number.
