Bar (B) is a dominant sex-linked mutant of D. melanogaster. Held-out wings and ebony body are recessive, autosomal mutants on chromosome III, mapping 12 map units apart. A Bar-eyed, ebony-bodied male was crossed to a held-out female, and the resulting F1 progeny WERE INBRED to produce the F2. At what frequency do you expect wild-type flies from this cross? (Reminder: Crossing over does not occur in the male). Based on the information in Problem 3, how often would you get a bar ebony but not held-out progeny?

Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?
Three autosomal recessive mutations in yeast, all producing the same phenotype (m1, m2, and m3), are subjected to complementation analysis. Of the results shown below, which, if any, are alleles of one another? Predict the results of the cross that is not shown—that is, m2 * m3. Cross 1: m1 * m24 F1: all wild-type progeny Cross 2: m1 * m34 F1: all mutant progeny
The mutant genes for vestigial wings and singed bristles are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. Assume that a vestigial-winged female was mated to a singed-bristle male, and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild type females were mated to vestigial singed males. Of 1000 offspring, which phenotype class would represent the product of crossing over between the genes, and how many would you expect? a) vestigial, 300 flies b) vestigial, 150 flies wild type, 300 flies d) singed, 150 flies e) vestigial, singed double mutants, 150 flies
The phenotype of crooked wings (cw) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive mutant gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with crooked wings and normal body hair. All F1 flies from this cross were wild-type, and these flies were crossed among each other to produce 288 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the offspring in the F2 generation, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?
Three autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu. Anindividual that is AA bb CC was crossed to an individual that is aaBB cc to produce heterozygous F1 offspring. The F1 offspring werethen crossed to homozygous aa bb cc individuals to produce F2offspring.If we assume that no double crossovers occur, what percentageof F2 offspring is likely to be homozygous for all three genes?
The A locus and the D locus are so tightly linked that norecombination is ever observed between them. If Ad/Ad is crossed with aD/aD and the F1 is intercrossed,what phenotypes will be seen in the F2 and in whatproportions?
The genes for mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 18 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male, and the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to mahogany-ebony males. Of 942 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes and in what numbers would they be expected?
In barley, a self-fertilizing species that can be cross-fertilized, two true-breeding strains with virescent leaves occur.

Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If the F1 were backcrossed to the straight, wing brown bodied parent, what phenotypes would be produced among the progeny? What would be the proportion of each phenotype?
In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellowbodied male with vestigial (not fully developed)wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-typefemales. F1 males and females were crossed, and theF2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males withvestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normalwings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigialwings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied femaleswith vestigial wings, and 97 wild-type females.Explain the inheritance of the two genes in questionbased on these results.
