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
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a fleckedappearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a totalof 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test yourhypotheses?
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
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?
Based on the information you discovered in the previous problem, answer the following:a. A female fruit fly with genotype Tt nn is mated toa male of genotype Tt Nn. What is the probabilitythat any one of their offspring will have normalphenotypes for both characters?b. What phenotypes would you expect among the offspring of this cross? If you obtained 200 progeny, howmany of each phenotypic class would you expect?
A rooster with a particular comb morphology calledwalnut was crossed to a hen with a type of comb morphology known as single. The F1 progeny all had walnut combs. When F1 males and females were crossedto each other, 93 walnut and 11 single combs wereseen among the F2 progeny, but there were also29 birds with a new kind of comb called rose and32 birds with another new comb type called pea.a. Explain how comb morphology is inherited.b. What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygouspea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratioswould be seen in the F2 progeny?c. A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a peahen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut,11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are thelikely genotypes of the parents?d. A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rosehen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are thepossible genotypes of the parents?
In a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.
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!!)
The accompanying pedigree shows a very unusual inheritance pattern that actually did exist. All progeny areshown, but the fathers in each mating have been omittedto draw attention to the remarkable pattern.a. Concisely state exactly what is unusual about thispedigree.b. Can the pattern be explained by Mendelianinheritance?
Two recessive traits in mice—droopy ears and flaky tail—arecaused by genes that are located 6 mu apart on the same chromosome.A true-breeding mouse with normal ears (De) and a flaky tail ( ft)was crossed to a true-breeding mouse with droopy ears (de) and anormal tail (Ft). The F1 offspring were then crossed to mice withdroopy ears and flaky tails. If this testcross produced 100 offspring,what is the expected outcome of phenotypes?
In the shorthorn breed of cattle, The red and white coat colors are codominant with each other with the resulting hit rosagas condition being roan. A breeder has some white, some Roan, and some red cattle (female) And only one round bull (male). A. What color cow would be bread to the ro bowl to guarantee the best chance of having white offspring? B. What is the probability of a red cow cross with the Roan bull resulting in a white half? explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes. C. What is one possible way that the farmer can guarantee having over red offspring by going outside of his breeding stock? Explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes.
