Question:- How was the corn dihybrid cross breeding experiment different from the fruit fly dihybrid cross experiment in terms of the phenotypic ratios?
Question:- The success of renal transplantation depends on three human histocompatibility genes, HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C, which must match between the donor and the receiver. A single mismatch may cause the kidney rejection. Each gene has multiple co-dominant alleles. These three genes are located very close to each other on chromosome 6, so that the recombination rate is very low (below 1%). The father has the following genotype: A1, A2, B24, B10, Cw4 and Cw7 and the mother is A1, A1, B11, B7, Cw5 and Cw8. Their first boy is A1, A1, B24, B11, Cw7 and Cw8. What is the probability that the second child is compatible with his/her brother?
Question:- Blood typing in human depends on three alleles .The IA and IB alleles are codominant and and the O{i} allele is recessive.

Question:- A farmer decides to cross two tomato plants. One of the plants is a dihybrid for genes G and H. The other is homozygous recessive for gene G but homozygous dominant for gene H. Which of the following offspring genotypes would be recombinants? Select all that apply. Select one or more: a. GgHH b. All of the above are recombinant c. ggHH d. None of the above are recombinant e. ggHh f. GgHh
Question:- For a simple cross between a purple-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant, where purple is dominant over white. a. Show the F2 in a Punnett square. What are the proportions of genotypes and phenotypes? Express as fractions, decimal fractions and ratios. b. Now imagine that half of the pollen carrying the recessive allele die before reaching their target, while those carrying the dominant allele are unaffected; what are the proportions of genotypes and phenotypes now?What does this tell you about Mendel’s principle of segregation?
Question #1 a. Explain why there is a non-Mendelian 2:1 yellow/agouti phenotypic ratio in this cross. b. What is the Raly gene? What does it encode? How does it relate to the lethality of Ay? c. A heterozygous mouse AAy does not produce enough pigment and it is yellow. Homozygous individuals die during development, but AAy heterozygous do not. Why? You may use any graphic aid to explain this, if necessary. This means that you may use a Punnett square or a forking segregation diagram, or computations with fractions.
Question- 1. In onions, male sterility is due to the interaction of a chromosomal allele pair hh and “sterile” (S) cytoplasm. All other combinations (i.e. HH/Hh and “sterile” cytoplasm, HH/Hh or hh “fertile” (F) cytoplasm) result in male-fertile plants. The male-sterile trait is incorporated into inbred lines to produce hybrid F1 seed on a commercial scale.a) How would you perpetuate the male-sterile line? Show the cross.b) Briefly outline the method of producing hybrid seed (heterozygote) for the commercial crop. Show the cross.c) Does it matter whether the cytoplasm is fertile or sterile in the male-fertile inbred? Explain.
Question: This is a normal 3 point test cross, except that instead of regular phenotypes, you are looking at DNA markers on a gel. One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.
Extra Credit Question: A wholphin is a rare hybrid animal born from mating a female bottlenose dolphin with a male false killer whale. Wholphins are diploid. Interestingly, wholphins are fertile. What can you conclude from the fact that wholphins are fertile? One of the parents must have been aneuploid Dolphins and false killer whales likely have the same number of chromosomes Wholphins are allotetraploid Dolphins and false killer whales are actually the same species
