n the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, wild type body colour is black and is a dominant trait, whereas grey body colour is a recessive trait. You are given a black body fly. How would you determine the genotype of this fly using traditional crossing experiments? Include in your answer the possible results and what they mean.

A rabbit with black fur (B) is crossed with a rabbit with white fur (b). All of the offspring have black fur. What is the genotype of the black rabbit parent?
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?
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?
A geneticist crosses two yellow mice with straight hair and obtains the following progeny: 1/2 yellow straight, 1/6 yellow fuzzy, 1/4 gray straight and 1/12 gray fuzzy What additional cross might be carried out to determine if your explanation is correct? Note: recessive lethal epistatis
In guinea pigs, the allele for short hair is dominant. If all the guinea pigs are born short haired what are the possible genotypes of the parents? (There are two possible combinations.) Show the answers with punnett square
Let’s say we are crossing flies with a “big head” mutant trait with flies that have normal sized heads. If the mutant allele in this cross is a dominant, autosomal allele, when phenotype(s) should be present in the F1 of your cross, and what fraction of the F1 should each phenotype represent?
The Labrador Retriever’s coat colours are black, yellow, and chocolate.Yellow is produced by the presence of a recessive epistatic gene, which has the effect of masking the black and chocolate colour genes. Black (B) is dominant to chocolate (b).Therefore, the possible genotypes and corresponding phenotypes are: Phenotype Possible Genotypes Black G__B__ Brown G__bb Yellow gg__ Predict the percentage of offspring that would be black in colour for each of the following crosses.

Two gray mice with unknown ancestry are crossed. Can you determine from the phenotype of their offspring if the parents are homozygous or heterozygous? Explain how?
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. what are the possible genotypes of the children?
A short eared mutant male rabbit was crossed with normal long eared doe rabbits and 29 long eared and 29 short eared rabbits were produced. The short eared rabbits were crossed among themselves and 31 short eared and 11 long eared rabbits were born. Determine which phenotype is dominant and explain the ratios with regards to the genotypes of the parents in each cross
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?
