Concept explainers
In a test of his chromosome theory of heredity, Morgan crossed an F1 female Drosophila with red eyes to a male with white eyes. The F1 females were produced from Cross A shown in Figure 3.19. Predict the offspring Morgan would have expected under his hypothesis that the gene for eye color is on the X chromosome in fruit flies.

- The ABO blood type locus has been mapped on chromosome 9. A father who has type AB blood and a mother who has type O blood have a child with trisomy 9 and type A blood. Using this information, can you tell in which parent the nondisjunction occurred? Explain your answerarrow_forwardExplain how human cells compensate for the X-linkedgene dosage difference in XX and XY nuclei.arrow_forwardA cross was made between 2 Drosophila that have the wild phenotype. Their progenies were found to have the same phenotype. A sample was taken from 2000 progenies, each of which was crossed with a fly having purple eye color. Half of the cross gave only wild type flies and the other half gave 50% purple-eyed progeny. What were the genotypes of the original pairs of wild type flies?arrow_forward
- A phenotypically normal boy has 45 chromosomes, but his sister, who has Down syndrome, has 46. Suggest an explanation that explains both children.arrow_forwardThe process known as (FILL IN THE BLANK) of the (FILL IN THE BLANK) chromosome in some female cats results in a calico In Rare cases, males can express the calico fur pattern. what would the be genetic explanation for this?arrow_forwardBarr bodies are formed to adjust X chromosome dosage in species other than humans, such as Drosophila (fruit flies) and C. elegans (nematodes). True or False ?arrow_forward
- In Drosophila, the vermilion eye color is determined by a recessive allele, v, of an X-linked gene. The wildtype color is determined by the v+ allele and causes a brick red eye color. In a cross of a heterozygous female with a wild type male you observe 340 red eye females, 136 red eye males, and 90 vermillion males. Do these results follow your expectations?arrow_forwardA female Drosophila with the mutant phenotype 'notched wings' was mated to a wild type male. Two-thirds of the progeny were female. Half of the females had notched wings and the other half had wild type wings and all the male progeny had wild type wings. When the notched progeny were mated to their wild type brothers, the same results were obtained. Explain.arrow_forwardBar eye gene in Drosophila causes a drastic reduction in eye size. A Male with narrow bar eyes crossed with a female with normal eye produced progeny in which all females had wide bar eyes and all males had normal eyes. Does this cross demonstrate that the bar gene is located on the X chromosome? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- The karyotype of a young girl who is affected with Down syndrome revealed that she has 46 chromosomes. Her phenotypically normal older brother's karyotype revealed that he has 45 chromosomes. (a) Propose an explanantion for the chromosome number in both children (b) What would you expect the chromosome number of the parents of these two children?arrow_forward. With regards to the grasshopper testes experiment, diakinesis is an ideal stage to determine chromosome number due to the degree of condensation of the chromosomes? Count the chromosomes at this stage. Does it represent a diploid or a haploid number?arrow_forwardFor a certain gene in a diploid organism, eight units ofprotein product are needed for normal function. Eachwild-type allele produces five units.a. If a mutation creates a null allele, do you think thisallele will be recessive or dominant?b. What assumptions need to be made to answer part a?arrow_forward
