- Let us suppose that two long-winged flies were crossed and that 77 long-winged and 24 short-winged specimens were counted in the offspring. a. Will the short-winged character be dominant or recessive?B. What will the genotypes of the parents be?C. What is the observed genotype ratio?arrow_forwardUsing forked line method, figure out the phenotype and genotype of the offspring between two individuals with genes: AaBbCC x AabbCcarrow_forwardWhat does a Punnett square illustrate? A. The phenotypes of all offspring in a test cross. B. The genotypes of all possible offspring in a test cross. C. The phenotypes of all possible offspring in a test cross. D. The genotypes and phenotypes of all possible offspring in a test cross.arrow_forward
- Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion The expected phenotype ratio in the F2 offspring of a monohybrid (F1 X F1) cross is ……? and the expected genotype ratio is …….? .arrow_forwardHow can the order of three linked genes (A, B, and C) on the same chromosome be determined? A. Calculating the frequency of recombination between genes. B. Gene order cannot be determined by looking at the results of a cross. C. Look for parental phenotypes. D. Look for single-crossover phenotypes involving the wild-type and mutant alleles of genes A, B, and C.arrow_forwardSuppose that in barley plants, the allele for tall stalks is dominant over short stalks and the allele for wide leaves is dominant over thin leaves. What would be the best way to determine the genotype of a barley plant with a tall stalk and wide leaves? Choose 1 answer: A.Perform a testcross with a barley plant that has a tall stalk and thin leaves. B.Perform a testcross with a known heterozygous barley plant . C. Perform a testcross with a barley plant that has a short stalk and thin leaves. D. Perform a testcross with a barley plant that has a tall stalk and wide leaves.arrow_forward
- Recombination frequency shows? A. Shows the likelihood of gametes being carried over during crossover. B. Shows the likelihood of traits being carried over during crossover. C. Shows the likelihood of genes being carried over during meiosis. D. Shows the likelihood of traits being carried over during mitosisarrow_forwardUse a chi-square test to determine if the observed numbers of progeny fit the number expected with independent assortment.arrow_forwardUse a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?arrow_forward
- What is the reason for doing a test cross? a. to identify heterozygous individuals with the dominant phenotype b. to determine which allele is dominant and which is recessive c. to identify homozygous recessive individuals in the F2 d. to determine if two genes assort independentlyarrow_forwardAssuming that independent assortment occurs during meiosis, what type(s) of gametes will form in individuals with the following genotypes? a. AABB b. AaBB c. Aabb d. AaBbarrow_forwardUse a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a tall pea plant (heterozygous) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the genoypic ratio of the offspring?arrow_forward
