In the haploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the twomating types are known as MATa and MATα. You cross apurple (ad-) strain of mating type a and a white (ad+)strain of mating type α. If ad- and ad+ are alleles of onegene, and a and α are alleles of an independently inherited gene on a separate chromosome pair, what progenydo you expect to obtain? In what proportions?

Three autosomal recessive mutations in yeast, all producing the same phenotype (m1, m2, and m3), are subjected to complementation analysis. Of the results shown below, which, if any, are alleles of one another? Predict the results of the cross that is not shown—that is, m2 * m3. Cross 1: m1 * m24 F1: all wild-type progeny Cross 2: m1 * m34 F1: all mutant progeny
In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellowbodied male with vestigial (not fully developed)wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-typefemales. F1 males and females were crossed, and theF2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males withvestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normalwings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigialwings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied femaleswith vestigial wings, and 97 wild-type females.Explain the inheritance of the two genes in questionbased on these results.

In Drosophila, ebony body colour is produced by a recessive gene a and wild-type (gray) body colour by its dominant allele a+. Vestigial wings are governed by a recessive gene vg, and normal wing size (wild type) by its dominant allele vg+.

In an autotetraploid organism, the gene controlling coat color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele Y for the yellow coat is dominant to y for blue coat. A homozygous yellow autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous blue autotetraploid strain. What types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce if the Y locus were 40 or more map units from the centromere? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.
