You are studying a mutation in a species of butterflies (with ZW sex chromosomes) that causes solid wings instead of spotted wings. Describehow you would use areciprocal crossto test whetherthis trait is sex linked. What result would you expect if the trait is Z linked?What result would you expect if the trait is autosomal?

Morgan first suggested that theoriginal white-eyed male had two copies of the white-eye allele. Inthis problem, let’s assume that he meant the fly was XwYwinstead ofXw Y What crosses would need to be made to rule out the possibility thatthe Y chromosome carries a copy of the eye color gene?
A man has attached earlobes, whereas his wife has freeearlobes. Their first child, a boy, has attached earlobes.a. If the phenotypic difference is assumed to be due totwo alleles of a single gene, is it possible that the geneis X linked?b. Is it possible to decide if attached earlobes aredominant or recessive?
Doing genetic analysis it is determined that two parents are heterozygous for two separate unlinked recessive traits (i.e., both parents are heterozygous for both loci). Given this genetic information, what is the probability of their having a child which is homozygous recessive for both traits?
a human disease known as cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait.Two unaffected individuals have a first child with the disease. What isthe probability that their next two children will not have the disease?
You are studying ear shape in dogs (with XY se x determination) and cross a true-breeding pointed-ear female to a true-breeding floppy-ear male and collect all pointy-ear male and female offspring. Your colleague suspects that the two phenotypes may be caused by alleles of one X-linked gene. What sort of cross would you do to determine whether this is an X-linked trait? Name it and describe it. What offspring phenotypic ratio would you expect in that cross if the green allele is a dominant X-linked allele? Make sure to label your ratio with all relevant phenotypes. How would the result of your cross (from A) be different if the trait is autosomal
You are studying tail length in a species of mice, where some mice have long tails and some have short tails.Preliminary results show that long tail is dominant, but you think the trait may be X-linked. Give the expectedoffspring phenotypic ratio for each cross if the trait is X- linked or if it is autosomal and answer the question atthe end. Make sure your phenotypic ratio is labeled with the complete phenotype (all relevant details). Cross #1: true-breeding long-tailed male x true-breeding short tailed female• Expectation if X-linked?• Expectation if autosomal?Cross #2: true-breeding long-tailed female x true-breeding short tailed male• Expectation if X-linked?• Expectation if autosomal?Compare the four results listed above. Briefly, why is a reciprocal cross is necessary to determine X (or Z)linkage?
To figure out the outcome of a cross, set up a Punnett square.a. Put the gametes of one parent at the top and those of theother on the left. To determine the allele(s) in each gamete fora given genotype, set up a systematic way to list all the possibilities. (Remember, each gamete has one allele of each gene.)Note that there are 2npossible types of gametes, where n is thenumber of gene loci that are heterozygous. For example, anindividual with genotype AaBbCc would produce 23 = 8 typesof gametes. Write the genotypes of the gametes in circlesabove the columns and to the left of the rows.b. Fill in the Punnett square as if each possible sperm werefertilizing each possible egg, making all of the possibleoffspring. In a cross of AaBbCc * AaBbCc, for example, thePunnett square would have 8 columns and 8 rows, so thereare 64 different offspring; you would know the genotype ofeach and thus the phenotype. Count genotypes and phenotypes to obtain the genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Becausethe…

Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a fleckedappearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a totalof 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test yourhypotheses?
In humans, color vision depends on genes encodingthree pigments. The R (red pigment) and G (green pigment) genes are close together on the X chromosome,whereas the B (blue pigment) gene is autosomal. A recessive mutation in any one of these genes can cause colorblindness. Suppose that a color-blind man married awoman with normal color vision. The four sons from thismarriage were color-blind, and the five daughters werenormal. Specify the most likely genotypes of both parents and their children, explaining your reasoning. (Apedigree drawing will probably be helpful.) (Problem 50is by Rosemary Redfield.)
