Holstein cattle suffer from the condition citrullinemia, in which homozygous recessive calves die within a week of birth because they cannot break down ammonia that is produced when amino acids are metabolized. If a cow that is heterozygous for the citrullinemia gene is inseminated by a bull that is homozygous dominant, what is the probability that a calf inherits citrullinemia?

A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
