Chapter 5, Problem 2NST
With two pairs of genes involved (P/p and Z/z), a testcross (ppzz) with an organism of unknown genotype indicated that the gametes produced were in the following proportions:
PZ, 42.4%; Pz, 6.9%; pZ, 7.1%; pz, 43.6%
Draw all possible conclusions from these data.

An individual of genotype AA Bb Cc DD Ee is testcrossed. Assuming that the loci undergo independent assortment, what fraction of the progeny are expected to have the genotype Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee?
The image attached shows a parental cross that is homozygous wild female x white male. F1 were intercrossed to produce the F2 generation as indicated below:
Wild Female: 416 Wild Male: 192 White Female: 0 White Male: 192
Use the data provided to prepare a formal table for a Chi-square analysis.
The following testcross produces the progeny shown: Aa Bb × aa bb → 10 Aa Bb, 40 Aa bb, 40 aa Bb, 10 aa bb. Were the A and B alleles in the Aa Bb parent in coupling or in repulsion?

- The genotype at one CODIS Core Locus for the mother is (3,8) and for the father is (5, 7). Answer the questions below as they relate to that one CODIS Core Locus. Show your calculations and explain your logic. If a forensic profile is (7, 8) for this CODIS Core locus, what is the probability that one of the two sons will match at both alleles and the other will match at just one allele?arrow_forwardAs it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b.
