Summary Introduction

To know: The genotype of the gametes of AaBbCc parents.

Introduction: Test cross is defined as the cross between an individual of an unknown genotype and a recessive parent is called test cross. It is used to test whether an individual is homozygous or heterozygous.

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…
In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these. Red-eyed wi C Ở Red-eyed wt XX Y X Y Meiosis
Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross.  Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
