From the data given, determine if alleles of one, two, or three genes are generating these traits and why? B. Define the results of cross #5 with gene symbols and a complete explanation of ratios and any relevant genetic terms.arrow_forwardHemophilia in humans is due to a mutation on the X chromosome.

- Two plants with white flowers, each from true-breeding strains, were crossed. All the F1 plants had red flowers. When these F1 plants were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 177 plants with red flowers and 142 with white flowers. (a) Propose an explanation for the inheritance of flower color in this plant species. (b) Propose a biochemical pathway for flower pigmentation and indicate which genes control which steps in this pathway.arrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question. Which of the following is the most probable interaction between the two genetic loci, A and C, based on the average F1 ratio results? A - The two loci show an epistatic pattern with the loci C epistatic to loci A. B - The two loci show a codominant pattern with both loci affecting coat color. C - The two loci interact in a Mendelian pattern with A being completely dominant over C. D - The two loci show an incomplete dominance pattern with neither loci A nor C being dominant.arrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C).

- Pigment in mouse fur is only produced when the C allele is present. Individuals of the cc genotype are white. If color is present, it may be determined by the A, a alleles. AA or Aa results in agouti color, while aa results in black coats. (a) What F1 and F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios are obtained from a cross between AACC and aacc mice? (b) In three crosses between agouti females whose genotypes were unknown and males of the aacc genotype, the following phenotypic ratios were obtained: (1) 8 agouti (2) 9 agouti (3) 4 agouti 8 white 10 black 5 black 10 white What are the genotypes of these female parents?arrow_forwardIn mice, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). Which of the following is not the correct method to determine if a mouse with a dominant phenotype has a homozygous or heterozygous genotype? Select one: a. The black mouse should mate with white mice. b. Test crosses need to be conducted on a mouse with a dominant phenotype to determine their genotype. c. A mouse with a dominant phenotype should be crossed with any true breeding mouse. d. A mouse with a dominant phenotype should be crossed with a mouse with a recessive phenotype.arrow_forwardFemales from a pure-breeding curly-winged strain are mated with males from a pure-breeding straight-winged (wild-type) strain. The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curly wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation? Explain your answer and why the other options do not qualify, A) Curly wings is a recessive trait. B) The dominant curly wing allele is also a recessive lethal. C) Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles. D) Two interacting genes determine wing shape. E) All of the hybrid F 1 flies had straight wings.arrow_forward
- In a particular plant species, a cross between pure breeding strains both of which have white flowers produces F1 progeny with purple flowers.

Select one: a. Theoretically, there should be a 3:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 29 grey coat mice and 9 albino mice. With more litters, the actual results would match the expected results more closely. b. Theoretically, 100% of the mice should have grey coats so all 38 offspring should have grey coats. There was an experimental error that can account for the deviation. c. Theoretically, there should be a 3:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 28.5 grey coat mice and 9.5 albino mice. There was an experimental error that can account for the deviation. d. Theoretically, there should be a 1:1 ratio of grey mice to albino mice, or 19 grey coat mice and 19 albino mice. With more litters, the actual results would match the expected results more closely.arrow_forwardHibiscus plants have different varieties of flowers. In an instance, both the red and white flowers showed that they are incompletely dominant with each other.
