Chickens, like all birds, have ZZ-ZW sex determination. The bar-feathered phenotype in chickens results from a Z-linked allele that is dominant over the allele for nonbar feathers. A barred female is crossed with a nonbarred male. The F1 from this cross are intercrossed to produce the F2. What will the phenotypes and their proportions be in the F1 and F2 progeny?

The F1 flies described in question 1 were mated with brown-eyed flies from a true-breeding line. What phenotypes would you expect the offspring to have? (a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
Radishes may be round, oval and lomg. Aside from this, they may be red, purple or white in color. Red x white produces progeny, all of which are purple. If purple oval will be crossed with purple oval, how many types of phenotypes will appear? If purple oval are crossed with white, long radishes, then what genotypic and phenotypic ratios exist in the progeny? Indicate the phenotypes of the offspring.
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
Cinnabar eye color is a sex-linked, recessive characteristic in fruit flies. If a female having cinnabar eyes is crossed with a wild-type male, what percentage of the F1 males will have cinnabar eyes?
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In chickens, the Leghorn variety has white feathers due to an autosomal dominant allele. Silkies have white feathers due to a recessive allele in a second (different) gene. If a true-breeding whiteLeghorn is crossed to a true-breeding white Silkie, what is theexpected phenotype of the F1 generation? If members of the F1generation are mated to each other, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation? Assume the chickens in the parental generation are homozygous for the white allele at one gene andhomozygous for the brown allele at the other gene. In subsequentgenerations, nonwhite birds will be brown.

You are studying tail length in a species of mice, where some mice have long tails and some have short tails.Preliminary results show that long tail is dominant, but you think the trait may be X-linked. Give the expectedoffspring phenotypic ratio for each cross if the trait is X- linked or if it is autosomal and answer the question atthe end. Make sure your phenotypic ratio is labeled with the complete phenotype (all relevant details). Cross #1: true-breeding long-tailed male x true-breeding short tailed female• Expectation if X-linked?• Expectation if autosomal?Cross #2: true-breeding long-tailed female x true-breeding short tailed male• Expectation if X-linked?• Expectation if autosomal?Compare the four results listed above. Briefly, why is a reciprocal cross is necessary to determine X (or Z)linkage?
You are studying ear shape in dogs (with XY se x determination) and cross a true-breeding pointed-ear female to a true-breeding floppy-ear male and collect all pointy-ear male and female offspring. Your colleague suspects that the two phenotypes may be caused by alleles of one X-linked gene. What sort of cross would you do to determine whether this is an X-linked trait? Name it and describe it. What offspring phenotypic ratio would you expect in that cross if the green allele is a dominant X-linked allele? Make sure to label your ratio with all relevant phenotypes. How would the result of your cross (from A) be different if the trait is autosomal
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
