- Given a cross between AabbCcDdEeFFGgHh x AaBbCcDdEEffggHH, a) how many possible gametes can the first individual produce? b) what proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? c) what proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? d) how many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?arrow_forwardWhat genotypes would be expected for the offspring from the following matings? What are the phenotypic ratios for each cross? Explain how you came up with this ratio?arrow_forwardTwo parents of the same heterozygous genotype are involved in a tetrahybrid cross. Their genotypes are FfGgHhIi. Assuming independent assortment of these four genes, what are the probabilities that F1 offspring will have the following genotypes? a) ffgghhii b) FfGgHhIi c) FFGGHHII d) FfGGhhIi e) FfGGHHiiarrow_forward
- In a cross between snails of the species Lymnaea peregra, the parental female comes from a true breeding sinistral line and the parental male comes from a true breeding dextral line. F1 offspring are crossed to each other. What proportion of the F2 offspring will be sinistral?arrow_forwardThe genotypes of F1 individuals in a trihybrid cross are LlMMNn x llMmNn. What is the probability that the F2 offspring will have an LlMmnn genotype? Use the forked-line method in solving the problem.arrow_forwardIn a monohybrid cross AA ´ aa, what proportion of homozygotes is expected among the F2 offspring? In a dihybrid cross AAbb ´ aaBB, what proportion of the F2 offspring is expected to be homozygotic for at least one gene?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardGenes A, B, and C all assort independently. For the cross AaBbCc X AaBbcc, what fraction of the progeny would be expected to have the ABc phenotype?arrow_forwardFrom parents of genotypes A/A â‹… B/B and a/a â‹… b/b, adihybrid was produced. In a testcross of the dihybrid,the following seven progeny were obtained:A/a â‹… B/b, a/a â‹… b/b, A/a â‹… B/b, A/a â‹… b/b,a/a â‹… b/b, A/a â‹… B/b, and a/a â‹… B/bDo these results provide convincing evidence of linkage?arrow_forward
- For the mating AaBBDdGg x AabbDdGG, draw the monhybrid punnet squares, one for each of the four genes shown in the cross. Assume that all genes assort independently. What fraction of the offspring would have the phenotype A_B_D_G? What fraction of the offspring would have the phenotype aaB_ddG_?arrow_forwardIn the dihybrid cross AaBb ´ aabb, what proportion of individuals are expected to be homozygotic for both genes in the F1generation? sume that in guinea pigs, dark brown fur (B) is dominant to black fur (b). If you mate a homozygous black guinea pig with a heterozygous brown guinea pig, what proportion of the progeny will be black?arrow_forwardIf round seed (R) is dominant to wrinkled seed (r) and yellow seed (Y) is dominant to green (y), how many yellow round offspring would you expect to see in the F2 generation of a standard dihybrid genetic cross if there are 1600 total offspringarrow_forward
