Suppose that a recessive gene that produces a short tail in mice is located in the pseudoautosomal region. A short-tailed male mouse is mated with a female mouse that is homozygous for a normal tail. The F1 mice from this cross are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their proportions, of the F1 and F2 mice.

Suppose a student performs a three-point test cross with mice involving mouse genes T, V and D. If the most abundant classes of progeny are TvD and tVd and the rarest classes are tvd and TVD which gene is in the middle and what is the genotype of each mouse involved in the cross?
Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short? Provide answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage.
Suppose that the short allele is a meiotic drive gene, and 80% of the gametes from a heterozygous individual with tall and short alleles contain short alleles. If tall is dominant to short, what percent of individuals from a cross between a heterozygous tall individual and a homozygous recessive individual will be tall?
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (left) has four pairs of chromosomes, whereas the house fly Musca domestica (right) has six pairs of chromosomes. In which species would you expect to see more genetic variation among the progeny of a cross? Explain your answer.
Suppose that you are tending a mouse colony at a genetic research institute, and one day you discover a mouse with twisted ears. You breed this mouse with twisted ears and find that the trait is inherited. Both male and female mice may have twisted ears, but when you cross a twisted-eared male with a normal-eared female, you obtain results that differ from those obtained when you cross a twisted-eared female with a normal-eared male: the reciprocal crosses give different results. Describe how you would determine whether this trait results from a sexlinked gene, a sex-influenced gene, genetic maternal effect, a cytoplasmically inherited gene, or genomic imprinting. What crosses would you conduct, and what results would be expected with these different types of inheritance?
Diagram the cross: a male fly expressing white (w) on the x chromosome, vestigial wings (vg) on chromosome 2 and sepia eyes (se) on chromosome 3 with a female that is heterozygous for all three traits What proportion of the progeny from the cross above will express the vestigial trait, but not white or sepia? Consider using branching.
In a cross between a homozygous red-eyed female fruit fly and a white-eyed male fruit fly, what is the expected outcome
In flies, small wings are recessive to normal wings. If a cross between two flies produces 8 small-wing offspring and 28 normal-wing offspring, what are the most likely genotypes of the parents? (Use SS to represent the normal-wing allele and ss to represent the short-wing allele.)
When pure breeding red dragons with large wings are mated with pure breeding green dragons with small wings (for simplicity one gene for each phenotype). All the F1 progeny are red dragons with large wings. What are the resulting phenotypes of a cross between the F1 dragons and the pure breeding green dragons with small wings?
In Drosophila, the X chromosomes may become attached to one another (XXn ) such that they always segregate together. Some flies thus contain a set of attached X chromosomes plus a Y chromosome. (a) What sex would such a fly be? Explain why this is so. (b) Given the answer to part (a), predict the sex of the off-spring that would occur in a cross between this fly and a normal one of the opposite sex. (c) If the offspring described in part (b) are allowed to interbreed, what will be the outcome?
In Drosophila, ebony body colour is produced by a recessive gene a and wild-type (gray) body colour by its dominant allele a+. Vestigial wings are governed by a recessive gene vg, and normal wing size (wild type) by its dominant allele vg+. If wild-type dihybrid flies are crossed and produce 256 progeny, how many of these progeny flies are expected in each phenotypic class?
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has four pairs of chromosomes, whereas the house fly Musca domestica has six pairs of chromosomes. In which species would you expect to see more genetic variation among the progeny of a cross? Explain your answer.
