Please answer Genes for body color (B black dominant to b yellow) and wing shape (Cstraight dominant to c curved) are located on the same chromosome in aspecies of beetle. A pure-breeding yellow beetle was crossed to a pure-breeding curved-wing beetle, and testcrossing their F1 progeny gave a secondgeneration with these phenotypes:black, straight17yellow, curved12black, curved337yellow, straight364What is the map distance between B and C?

Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
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?
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
As it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progeny
Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true- breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny? a. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Two traits are examined simultaneously in a cross of two pure-breeding pea-plant varieties. Pod shape can be either swollen or pinched. Pea color can be either green or yellow. A plant with the traits swollen and green is crossed with a plant with the traits pinched and yellow, and a resulting F1 plant is self-crossed. A total of 640 F2 progeny are phenotypically categorized as follows: 360 swollen yellow 120 swollen green 120 pinched yellow 40 pinched green a. What is the phenotypic ratio observed for pod shape? Pea color? b. What is the phenotypic ratio observed for both traits considered together? c. What is the dominance relationship for pod shape? Pea color? d. Deduce the genotypes of the P1 and F1 generations.
When a white guinea pig is crossed to a yellow guinea pig, all the progeny are cream-colored. From a cross of two such F1’s, the F2 showed 32 white, 66 cream, and 30 yellow guinea pigs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the white guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the yellow guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the cream-colored guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes of the F2 progeny. Give the genotypic ratio. __________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, and at least one dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get a wild-type phenotype. a. What phenotypic ratio would you predict among the progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies? b. You cross a particular wild-type male in succession with three tester strains. In the cross with one tester strain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of the wild-type male? (Pls help asap!!)
In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if: The F1’s are intercrossed? The F1’s are crossed with red plants
In the California poppy, an allele for yellow flowers (C) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (c). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (F) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (f). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that has white and fringed petals. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that has white and fringed petals, and thefollowing progeny are produced: 54 yellow and entire; 58 yellow and fringed; 53 white and entire; and 10 white and fringed. Q. Use a chi-square test to compare the observed numbers of progeny having each phenotype with those expected for the cross
