Chapter 3, Problem 15P
Fruit flies with one allele for curly wings (Cy) and one allele for normal wings have curly wings. When two curly-winged flies were crossed, 203 curly-winged and 98 normal winged flies were obtained. In fact, all crosses between curly-winged flies produce nearly the same curly: normal ratio among the progeny.
| a. | What is the approximate |
| b. | Suggest an explanation for these data. |
| c. | If a curly-winged fly was mated to a normal-winged fly, how many flies of each type would you expect among 180 offspring? |

d. What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)
In cats, the gene for calico (multicolored) cats is both sex-linked and codominant. Due to a phenomenon known as dosage compensation, females that receive a B and an R gene have black and orange splotches on white Males can only be black or orange, but never calico.
