PART I-Calculation The Borogravian tiger woodlouse is a species of large invertebrate that lives primarily on slugs, snails and puppy dogs' tails. Unusually for a woodlouse, it has a fluffy coat, and the nature of this coat is controlled by three genes. The dominant alleles, F (fluff), C (colour) and T (tufts) and produce fluffy woodlice with black stripes and long tufty eyebrows. The recessive alleles (f, c and t) produce rough-coated woodlice with grey stripes and no tufts. In a three-point linkage analysis experiment, I carried out a test cross using a triply heterozygous tiger and a triple recessive partner. When the eggs hatched, I found that the resulting 120 offspring had the following phenotypes

Hello, I need help answering 5c & 5d using the phylogeny below(letter (A) graph to the left). Pls and thank you! a) In the 1990s, when only mitochondrial DNA sequencing was available, geneticists claimed that there was no hybridization between humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis). Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell? b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why? c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this? d) Did male H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal females that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?…
Question:- A) Give one domain.motif found in the SRY portion and state clearly how it leads to the development of the Wollfian system. B) Explain the genotype and the phenotype of an XY female and how such an individual could occur. C) Explain the genotype and the phenotype of an XX male and how such an individual could occur.
Incomplete Dominance: 1) On the planet Iota Geminorum IV there exists a small hairy animal known as a tribble. It comes in three colors blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus with incompletre dominance. A homozygous CBCB is blue, a homozygous CRCR is red, and a heterozygous CBCR is purple. a. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring if a blue tribble were crossed with a red one? b. If the offspring in #1 were crossed what would the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be of this generation?
I've observed varying egg mimic sizes on female fins: large, small, or none. I found that this trait follows Mendelian genetics with a single locus having two alleles: BB (large mimic), Bb (small mimic), and bb (no mimic). During a recent collection trip, we gathered 211 males with large egg mimics, 156 with small mimics, and 28 with no mimics. Is the locus in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and what's the expected frequency of the small egg mimic phenotype in this population? 1.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.07 2.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.39 3.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.53 4.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.20 5.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 1.0
Direction: For each of the five examples below, give the name of the isolating mechanism and specify if it is prezygotic or postzygotic isolation. In some bee populations, only large bees are big enough to unfold flower petals and obtain nectar and pollen. A cross between two fish species occurs but development only occurs up to 16-cell stage. In drosophila, when sperm from one species enters the other species, the sperm is immobilized and unable to fertilize the Fireflies have a unique lighting pattern. The frequency of lighting is species specific. Fireflies in the same area will not mate with those having a different lighting frequency. 5. Two species of butterflies are found in northern Michigan, but one species is found only near rivers and streams, the other near lakes

Please solve step by step THANKS! A researcher when studying insects of the genus Protenor, crossed females with normal wings and short antennae, with males with short wings and long antennae. In the first generation, he found that all insects had normal wings and long antennae; Therefore, when obtaining the second generation of a count of 460 insects, 50 presented short wings and short antennae; 135 with normal wings and short antennae; 165 with short wings and long antennae; and 465 with normal wings and long antennae. According to the information, determine:a) The genotype of the F1 and the parentsb) How many pairs of genes are involved in the crossc) How is the inheritance of these characters,d) Obtain the genotypic and phenotypic relationshipe) If the test cross is made, what genotypic and phenotypic relationship is expected
