Problem Solving: In Drosophila, the gene that controls red eye color (dominant) versus white eye color is on the X chromosomes. What are the expected phenotypic results if a heterozygous female is crossed with a white-eyed male? In cats, S = short hair; s = long hair; XC = black coat; Xc = yellow coat; XCXc = tortoiseshell (calico) coat. If a long-haired yellow male is crossed with a tortoiseshell female homozygous for short hair, what are the expected phenotypic results?

PROBLEM 1. In a certain plant, yellow fruit, Y, is dominant to white fruit, y. A heterozygous plant with yellow fruit is crossed with a plant with white fruit. Determine the probable genotypic and phenotypic ratios resulting from this cross. Determine the probable genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from crossing two heterozygous plants of Problem 1.

Practice Pedigree Problem help. I am confused so please show. Label Phenotypes and genotypes as you go about the Pedigree (and whatever else might be required)! Thank you again for your help, these questions confuse me). Hair or fur length in cats is controlled by a single, autosomal gene; the short hair-allele is dominant to the allele for long hair. Hair color is produced by a different gene which is located on the X chromosome. One allele for this sex-linked gene produces yellow, while an alternate allele produces black fur color; individuals which are heterozygous for these alleles are calico or tortiseshell in color. a). If a long-haired, black male is mated with a calico female homozygous for short hair, what kind of kittens will be produced in the F1generation? Give both genotypes and phenotypes; express the genotypes both symbolically and in words.
Problem 3: In snapdragons, the inheritance of flower color and size of leaves are examples of Incomplete Dominance. When red flowered plants are crossed with white, the offspring have pink flowers. Similarly, when a plant with broad leaves is crossed with plants having narrow leaves, the offspring have intermediate leaves. Regarding a cross between a homozygous red-flowered, broad- leaved plant with a homozygous white-flowered, narrow-leaved plant. What are the phenotypes and their ratio in the F1 generation? Construct a Punnett square. What are the phenotypes and their ratio in the F2 generation? Construct a Punnett square.
I need help solving this : In humans, the X chromosome is large in comparison to the Y chromosome. The X chromosome carries information for many traits that aren't related to the sex of the individual. Alleles carried only by the X chromosome are said to be X-linked (or some-times, sex-linked). Some of the alleles on the tiny Y chromosome appear to have no counterparts on X. These Y-linked alleles code for traits that are found only in males. Among the X-linked traits are a number of recessive genetic disorders. One of these is hemophilia, the inability to produce proteins necessary for blood clotting. Hemophiliacs can bleed to death from relatively minor cuts or bruises. Historical records dating back thousands of years mention the inheritance pattern of hemophilia. Among the ancient Hebrews, sons born to women with a family history of hemophilia were excused from circumcision. Hemophilia was common during the 1800s in the royal families of Europe, whose members often intermarried.…
