Introduction:
In cattle, short stature and short limbs are caused because of autosomal recessive mutation called Dexter. Cattles with a heterozygous genotype show short stature and limbs; cattle embryos with homozygous recessive genotype either spontaneously abort or are stillborn. This means that recessive homozygosity is lethal, and the individuals do not survive.

Hemophilia is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation in humans. If a
man whose paternal uncle (father's brother) was a hemophiliac marries a
woman whose brother is also a hemophiliac, what is the probability that
their first child will have hemophilia? (Assume that no other cases of
hemophilia exist in the pedigree.)

A mutant sex-linked trait called “notched” (N) is deadly in Drosophila when homozygous in females. Males who have a single N allele will also die. The heterozygous condition (Nn) causes small notches on the wing. The normal condition in both male and females is represented by the allele n.
a) Indicate the phenotypes of the F1 generation from the following cross: XNXn x XnY
b) Explain why dead females are never found in the F1 generation no matter which parents are crossed.
c) Explain why the mating of female XNXn and a male XNy is unlikely.
You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. You cross females of this line with males homozygous for the corresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denote recessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type phenotypes): 1364 + + +, 365 a b c, 87 a b +, 84 + + c, 47 a + +, 44 + b c, 5 a + c, and 4 + b +.a. What is the recombinant frequency between a and b? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossing over in Drosophila males.)b. What is the coefficient of coincidence?

- Two unlinked genes, A and B, encode very similar enzymes involved in the production of purple flower pigments in a particular plant species. Recessive, non-functional alleles a and b are available.
