The following X-linked recessive traits are found in fruit flies:vermilion eyes are recessive to red eyes, miniature wings are recessiveto long wings, and sable body is recessive to gray body. A cross wasmade between wild-type males with red eyes, long wings, and graybodies and females with vermilion eyes, miniature wings, and sablebodies. The heterozygous female offspring from this cross, whichhad red eyes, long wings, and gray bodies, were then crossed tomales with vermilion eyes, miniature wings, and sable bodies.

Make a drawing. Make a calculation.arrow_forwardAn attached-X female fly, XX ¬Y (see the “Insights and Solutions” box), expresses the recessive X-linked white-eye mutation. It is crossed to a male fly that expresses the X-linked recessive miniature-wing mutation. Determine the outcome of this cross in terms of sex, eye color, and wing size of the offspring.arrow_forwardDuchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease. What are the probabilities that their other children will develop the disease? Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forward
- Note: Don't copy from internet, Also answer correctly in terms of diploid, hemizygous, and carrier!! Thanks Explain why genetic disorders caused by recessive alleles of X-linked genes appear more frequently in males than in females? In your explanation, please include explanations of the following terms: diploid, hemizygous, carrier.arrow_forwardHemophilia is another example of a X-linked disease caused when a recessive allele (Xh) is expressed. If a normal male reproduces with a heterozygous normal female, what are the expected genotypes and phenotypes? Will any of their daughters develop hemophilia? As in the previous question, you must also give the gender of the child in your genotype and phenotype descriptions here.arrow_forwardDrosophila, yellow body color is due to an X-linked gene that is recessive to the gene for gray body color.a. A homozygous gray female is crossed with a yellow male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny.b. A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny.c. A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 females are backcrossed with gray males. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F2 progeny.d. If the F2 flies in part b mate randomly, what are the expected phenotypes and proportions of flies in the F3?arrow_forward
- In the pedigree attached, the shaded symbols represent people affected with a neurological disorder caused by an X-linked recessive allele. The normal allele is D and the recessive allele is d. What are the genotypes of every person in this pedigree? Please explain in as much detail as possible.arrow_forwardCinnabar eye color is a sex-linked, recessive characteristic in fruit flies. If a female having cinnabar eyes is crossed with a wild-type male, what percentage of the F1 males will have cinnabar eyes?arrow_forwardCinnabar eyes is a sex-linked, recessive characteristic in fruit flies. If a female having cinnabar eyes is crossed with a wild-type male, what percentage of the F1 males will have cinnabar eyes?arrow_forward
- Normal vision (XA) in humans is dominant to color blindness (Xa) and is X-linked. A man with normal vision, whose father was colorblind, marries a colorblind woman. What are the chances that a son will be colorblind? What are the chances that a daughter will be colorblind? The determiner for brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue eyes (b) and is not X-linked. A colorblind man with brown eyes, whose mother was blue-eyed, marries a blue-eyed woman having normal vision, whose father was colorblind. Show the expected phenotypes ratio of their children involving eye color, color blindness, and sex.arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardSuppose gene B is X-linked and is embryonically lethal when homozygous or hemizygous recessive. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. They want to have three kids – one girl and two boys. Using a Punnett square, answer the following: What is the probability that they will have a son that dies before birth? _______________________ What is the probability that they will have a daughter who has the same genotype as her mother? _________________ One of their daughters eventually has a child with a man. One of their sons dies before birth. What was the genotype of this daughter? _______________________________ please show me how to get the answer and explain how you got and use a punnet squarearrow_forward
