Suppose that for three generations, the clawed wing trait has only shown up in males. In the fourth generation, a mating between a clawed wing male and a normal wing female produces a clawed wing female. Does this necessarily mean that the trait is not sex-linked? Why or why not? (Sketching out a quick pedigree may help you answer)

Suppose that two individuals who display toothed beaks mate and have three offspring who have toothed beaks and two who have normal beaks. Is it possible for the trait to be autosomal recessive? Why or why not? (Sketching out a quick pedigree may help you answer)
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.

Based on your understanding of sex - linked recessive traits, would it be possible for the phenotype to skip one or more generations before reappearing? Explain your answer.
Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
You have a true-breeding strain of miniature-winged fruit flies, where this wing trait is recessive to the normal long wings. How would you show whether the miniature wing trait is sex-linked or autosomal?
Imagine you have two pure-breeding lines of canaries,one with yellow feathers and the other with brownfeathers. In crosses between these two strains, yellowfemale × brown male gives only brown sons anddaughters, while brown female × yellow male givesonly brown sons and yellow daughters.

Suppose that round ears in guinea pigs is a recessive phenotype. You have just adopted a guinea pig with pointy ears. Using crosses, how can you determine whether this guinea pig with pointy ears is homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant trait? Explain the cross you would make and what it would tell you.
