Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
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?
Explain what nondisjunction is, and give two examples of phenotypes that can result from it.
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?
Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
In pea plants, the color yellow is dominant over the color green. If a homozygous yellow plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow plant, what will be the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
In pea plants, the color yellow is dominant over the color green. If a homozygous yellow plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow plant, what percentage of the plants will be green?

A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a pea hen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut, 11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are the likely genotypes of the parents?
Following a cross between two, dihybrid, heterozygous individuals, what fraction of the offspring are predicted to have a genotype that is heterozygous for both genes?
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?
