Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. a) A population of butterflies showed 49% yellow, and 51% blue and green. What percentage of the gametes for the next generation would contain the DB allele? b) In another population only 1% of the butterflies are blue, what is the DY allele frequency? c) If the butterflies were subject to predation by birds that could easily detect blue & yellow individuals what effect would you expect this to have on the genotype and allele frequencies over time? Indicate possible percentages.

In a randomly mating laboratory population of Drosophila, 4 percent of the flies have black bodies (encodedby the autosomal recessive b), and 96 percent havebrown bodies (the wild type, encoded by B). If this population is assumed to be in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, what are the allele frequencies of B and b and thegenotypic frequencies of B/B and B/b?
In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown below.

Imagine you are studying a population of clownfish and have genotyped two biallelic loci. The first locus has alleles with frequencies 0.5 and 0.5 in the population. The second locus has alleles with frequencies 0.2 and 0.8. You have genotyped one young fish at these two loci. a. What is the probability that we can exclude a father as the true parent (assuming that he is not the true parent)? b.If you could genotype a third locus to increase your probability of paternal exclusion, would you prefer a locus with allele frequencies of 0.55/0.45 or 0.2/0.8? Why? c.Is the power from part a) good enough to use for a paternity exclusion study without adding other loci? Why or why not?

Given a cross between these two parents: BbCcDDEEFfGgHhjj x BbCcddEeFfGgHHjj where traits B, E, H, J exhibit Mendelian inheritance; C, and F exhibit incomplete dominance; D, and G exhibit co-dominance answer the following: What proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? What proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? How many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?

A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?

Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm? The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype?
In birds, wingspan is determined by two genes, one with complete dominance of one allele over the other, one with additive effects. Birds with genotype aabb has 16 cm long wingspan, whereas those with AABB has 20 cm long wingspan. A cross between AABB and aabb parents produced F1 with 19cm wingspan. Crossing the F1s produced F2 with the following phenotypes (in cm): NOTE: In a normal distribution of values, 68% of them will fall within the range of the mean less one standard deviation and the mean plus one standard deviation. Compute for: a. compute for number of classes b. compute for the range c. compute for the interval
. In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, so heterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios of flower colors would you expect among the offspring of the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white × pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white, and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would be most efficient?
