Given the following testcross data for corn in which the genes for fine stripe (f), bronze aleurone (bz) and knotted leaf (Kn) are involved: PhenotypeNumber Kn + +451 Kn f +134 + + + 97 + f bz436 Kn + bz18 + + bz119 + f +24 Kn f bz86 Total:1,365 Maize geneticists tend to be like Drosophila geneticists utilizing a + to indicate the wild type allele (which also is dominant) and a lower case letter for the mutant allele (which is recessive). The first thing I suggest in attacking this problem is to use the typical convention of upper case letters for dominant alleles and lower case letters for recessive alleles as follows: F = wild type, f = fine stripe; B = wild type, b = bronze aleurone K = wild type, k = knotted leaf Then we can rewrite the phenotypes in a “language” that is more easily understood: PhenotypeNumber k F B451 k f B134 K F B97 K f b436 k F b18 K F b119 K f B24 k f b86 Total:1,365 a) Determine the sequence (order) of the…
Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
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?

While studying the genetics of the "Cute Faced Bat" face structure gene, three alleles ) are identified that produce 6 genotypes and 4 phenotypes “Cute”, “Super Cute Nose”, “Super Cute Face”, and “Super, Duper Cute” (equally expressing both Super Cute Face and Super Cute Nose). Given these observations, what can you conclude about the allele interactions?
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andnormal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings.The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wildtype, 778; black vestigial, 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial,162. What is the recombination frequency between these genesfor body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the resultsof the experiment in Figure 15.9?

Wing shape (A/a) and body color (B/b) in Drosophila are controlled by two independently assorting gene pairs. Flies with curved wings and gray body were crossed with each other and produced the following offspring: 36 curved wings, gray body 12 curved wings, black body 18 straight wings, gray body 6 straight wings, black body Questions: 1. Describe the interactions that will explain the observed phenotypic ratio. Indicate the phenotype specified by each allele, and the interaction(s) between the alleles.

A cross was performed using Drosophila melanogaster involving a female known to be heterozygous for both ebony body and sepia eyes and a male known to be homozygous for both of these recessive traits. The following data was produced from the cross. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Remember to use the 5% level of significance Wild eye Wild body – 102, Wild eye Ebony body – 94, Sepia eye Wild body – 100, Sepia eye Ebony body – 93. Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject.
For the fish model organism Medaka (Aplocheilus latipes), genes at 2 loci (B, b and R, r) determine color of the fish. Fish that have the dominant allele at both loci (B_ R_) are brown, fish with a dominant allele at the B locus (B_ rr) are blue, fish with a dominant allele at the R locus only (bb R_) are red, and fish that are homozygous recessive at both loci (bb rr) are white. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of offspring of cross between a homozygous brown and homozygous white Medaka fish? What is the expected phenotypic ratio of offspring if you then generate an F2 generations from the progeny above? Assume that you performed the cross and you observed 465 brown fish, 142 blue fish, 165 red fish, and 61 white fish in the F2 generation. Use a chi-square test to compare the observed and expected numbers of offspring. What conclusions can you draw from your statistical analysis of these results?
