An attached-X female fly, XXn Y (see the “Insights and Solutions”box), expresses the recessive X-linked white-eye phenotype. It is crossed to a male fly that expresses the X-linked recessive miniature wing phenotype. Determine the outcome of this cross in terms of sex, eye color, and wing size of the offspring.
Duchenne 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 conclusion
Which of the following statements is false?
Dosage compensation is accomplished in humans by stimulation of gene expression from the single X chromosome.
Dosage compensation is accomplished in humans by inactivating a female X chomosome.
An individual with Turner Syndrome has no Barr bodies.
An individual with Klinefelter syndrome generally has one Barr body.
A typical XX human female has one Barr body.

- In 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_forwardNormal 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_forwardThere are two genes in fruit flies that determine eye color and wing shape. Red eyes are dominant to sepia (brown) eyes, and normal wings is dominant to vestigial (shriveled) wings. Describe a procedure you could use to determine the genotype of a fly that has red eyes and normal wings. This fly may be homozygous or heterozygous for either gene.arrow_forward
- Drosophila, 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.
