Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 37P
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an odd gait called dancing. The F1 animals all showed normal gait.
| a. | If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion of the F2 mice should be dancers? |
| b. | If mice must be homozygous for recessive alleles of each of two different genes to have the dancing |
| c. | When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and 8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test to determine if these results better fit the one-gene model from part (a) or the two-gene model from part (b). |

If a true-breeding black short-haired male is mated with a brown long-haired female, describe their offspring. What will be the genotypes of the offspring? If two of these f1 rabbits are mated, what phenotypes would you expect among their offspring? In what proportions?
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).
In guinea pigs, short hair (S) is dominant to long (s). Black fur (B) is dominant to albino (b). A female from a strain which is pure breeding for black fur and short hair is mated to a male from a strain pure breeding for the albino condition and long hair.

- In fruit flies, curved wings are recessive to straight wings, and ebonybody is recessive to gray body. A cross was made between truebreeding flies with curved wings and gray bodies and flies withstraight wings and ebony bodies. The F1 offspring were then mated toflies with curved wings and ebony bodies to produce an F2 generation.A.
