- One of the autosomal loci controlling eye color in fruit flies has two alleles: one for brown eyes and the other for red eyes. Fruit flies from a true-breeding line with brown eyes were crossed with flies from a true-breeding line with red eyes. The F1 flies had red eyes. What conclusion can be drawn from this experiment? (a) these alleles underwent independent assortment (b) these alleles underwent segregation (c) these genes are X-linked (d) the allele for red eyes is dominant to the allele for brown eyes (e) all the preceding are truearrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces.

One of the parent cats is long-haired. The litter which results contains two short-haired and three long-haired kittens. What length fur does the second parent have, and what is its genotype?Cats also have a locus (gene) for a character called agouti.
