Chapter 18, Problem 22P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained from the pure breeding line of a sinistral hermaphrodite with the males of pure breeding dextral line.

Introduction:

The Punnett square is the tool used in genetics to represent the gametes and the progeny that will be obtained from the cross of the parental gametes. The square is expressed as gametes on one side, and the squares are filled with the possible progeny.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The genotypic expression for the homozygous dextral snails can be taken as “S+S+”, and the genotypic composition of the homozygous hermaphrodite sinistral snails can be taken as “S-S-“. When a pure breeding line of the snails Limnaea that are sinistral are crossed with the pure breeding dextral snails the resultant progeny will be as follows:


Gametes

b.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained from the pure breeding line of dextral hermaphrodite with the males of pure breeding sinistral line.

Introduction:

The genotype is the genetic constitution of the organism, while the phenotype is the external characters visible in an organism. The alleles are the contrasting forms of a gene, and one of them is dominant and other is recessive.

Explanation of Solution

The genotypic expression for the homozygous hermaphrodite dextral snails can be taken as “S+S+” and the genotypic composition of the homozygous sinistral male snails can be taken as “S-S-“. When a pure dextral hermaphrodite is crossed with the male pure sinistral line the progeny obtained will be as follows:

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The resulting progeny from the self-cross made between the dextral and sinistral snails.

Introduction:

The alleles are inherited from the parents into the offspring. The genotypic ratio represents the alleles that constitute the offspring, while the phenotypic ratio represents the external features of the offsprings.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The progeny obtained from either of the crosses that is the cross between dextral hermaphrodite and sinistral male or sinistral hermaphrodite and dextral male is the same that is heterozygous dextral. Hence the self-cross of the heterozygous dextral progeny are as follows:


Gametes

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained in the F3 generation from the self-cross of the dextral and sinistral snails.

Introduction:

The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. Therefore the dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive phenotype is only expressed under homozygous condition.

Explanation of Solution

The resulting F2 generation has homozygous sinistral snails with the genotype “S-S-“. After self-crossing the F2 progeny, the organisms obtained will be of the following genotype:

A maternal effect gene in Drosophila, called torso, is found as a recessive allele that prevents the correct development of anterior- and posterior-most structures. A wild-type (homozygous) male iscrossed to a female of unknown genotype. This mating produces 100% larva that are missing theiranterior- and posterior-most structures and therefore die during early development. What is the genotype and phenotype of the female fly in this cross? What are the genotypes andphenotypes of the female fly’s parents? Show COMPLETE cross.   Maternal genotype:Paternal genotype:F1 genotype:F1 phenotype:
Two diploid species of closely related frogs, which we will callspecies A and species B, were analyzed with regard to the genesthat encode an enzyme called hexokinase. Species A has two distinctcopies of this gene: A1 and A2. In other words, this diploidspecies is A1A1 A2A2. Species B has three copies of the hexokinasegene, which we will call B1, B2, and B3. A diploid individualof species B would be B1B1 B2B2 B3B3. These hexokinase genesfrom the two species were subjected to DNA sequencing, and thepercentage of sequence identity was compared among these genes.The results are shown here.

A condition known as icthyosis hystrix gravior appeared in a boy in the early eighteenth century. His skin became very thick and formed loose spines that were sloughed off at intervals. When he grew up, this “porcupine man” married and had six sons, all of whom had this condition, and several daughters, all of whom were normal. For four generations, this condition was passed from father to son. From this evidence, what can you postulate about the location of the gene?
