(a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
Based on the information you discovered in the previous problem, answer the following:a. A female fruit fly with genotype Tt nn is mated toa male of genotype Tt Nn. What is the probabilitythat any one of their offspring will have normalphenotypes for both characters?b. What phenotypes would you expect among the offspring of this cross? If you obtained 200 progeny, howmany of each phenotypic class would you expect?
Assume that in a series of experiments, plants with round seeds were crossed with plants with wrinkled seeds and the following offspring were obtained: 220 round and 180 wrinkled. (a) What is the most probable genotype of each parent?(b) What genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected?(c) Based on the information provided in part (b) above, what are the expected (theoretical) numbers of progeny (400 total) of each phenotypic class?
In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. 100 long/yellow pea plants, all of which had one short/green parent, are interbred (bred to each other). 1600 progeny result. Please answer the following questions about these progenies. A. Assuming that these two genes are unlinked, about how many long/green pea plants would you expect to find among the offspring? B. What ratio of yellow to green seed color would you expect among the offspring? C. What would you expect the overall phenotypic ratio among the 1600 offspring to be (taking into consideration both traits)?
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, and at least one dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get a wild-type phenotype. a. What phenotypic ratio would you predict among the progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies? b. You cross a particular wild-type male in succession with three tester strains. In the cross with one tester strain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of the wild-type male? (Pls help asap!!)
. Male house cats are either black or orange; females areblack, orange, or calico.a. If these coat-color phenotypes are governed by a sexlinked gene, how can these observations be explained?b. Using appropriate symbols, determine the phenotypes expected in the progeny of a cross between anorange female and a black male.c. Half the females produced by a certain kind of matingare calico, and half are black; half the males are orange,and half are black. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?d. Another kind of mating produces progeny in thefollowing proportions: one-fourth orange males, onefourth orange females, one-fourth black males, and onefourth calico females. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?
Let us suppose that two long-winged flies were crossed and that 77 long-winged and 24 short-winged specimens were counted in the offspring. a. Will the short-winged character be dominant or recessive?B. What will the genotypes of the parents be?C. What is the observed genotype ratio?
shows the results of a dihybrid cross involving seed shape and seed color. a. What proportion of the round and yellow F2 progeny from this cross is homozygous at both loci? b. What proportion of the round and yellow F2 progeny from this cross is homozygous at least at one locus?
In corn, seedling color is determined by genes at two loci (C/c and D/d). Suppose that you cross a pure-breeding green seedling with a pure-breeding yellow seedling and obtain only green seedlings in the F1 generation. You then cross two of the F1 seedlings and obtain the following progeny for the F2 generation: 138 green seedlings, 33 virescent-white seedlings, and 10 yellow seedlings. What form of epistasis would explain these data?
Consider these two crosses and assume that independent segregation is exhibited by all gene pairs: RrmmTT x RRMmTtFfGg x FfGg Derive the gametic ratio of the second parent in each cross using the branching method. What proportion of the offspring in each cross will be heterozygous for all gene pairs? Derive the genotypic ratio for the offspring from each cross using the branching method.
