A cross between two heterozygotes fruit flies with purple eyes and white bodies (EeBb) results in 4 offspring. What is the possibility that of these four offspring, two will have green eyes and black bodies, one will have purple eyes and a white body, and one will have purple eyes and a black body? To answer this question please also consider that traits associated with homozygous recessive genes are green eyes and black body.

- Consider a cross between a Brown furred dog and a Yellow furred dog. All the puppies born from these parents are yellow furred. Crossing the F1 yellow furred sons and F1 yellow furred daughters produces a 3:1 ratio of yellow furred dogs (3) to brown-furred dogs (1) in the F2 generation. True or False: this tells you that brown fur color in this dog species is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. is it true or false?arrow_forwardCarrion beetles lay their eggs in dead animals and then bury them in the ground until they hatch. Assume that the preference for fresh meat (F) is dominant to the preference for rotted meat and that the tendency to bury the meat shallow (S) is dominant to the tendency to bury the meat deep. Suppose a female carrion beetle homozygous dominant for both traits mates with a male homozygous recessive for both traits. 1) What will the F1 genotypic ratio be? 2) What are the chances of obtaining a beetle that is heterozygous for both traits?arrow_forwardIn the USA the frequency of carriers for the devastating autosomal recessive trait of procrastination is 1/10 people. You do not procrastinate and want to have a child with another highly efficient non-procrastinator. You are worried that you both might be carriers and that your child would be a procrastinator. What is the probability that you are a carrier, AND your mate is a carrier, AND your child is procrastinator?arrow_forward
- In mice, the presence of a dominant A allele results in the agouti pattern of fur color, whereas the aa homozygous recessive results in a solid color pattern. The presence of another dominant B allele results in black fur color, whereas the homozygous recessive bb results in brown fur color. The presence of a third dominant C allele is required for any color to be observed (brown or black), whereas the homozygous recessive cc results in lack of any color whatsoever (albino). What is the phenotype of a mouse with the following genotype? Aa bb cc albino Agouti color pattern and brown Solid color pattern and brown Agouti color pattern and black Solid color pattern and blackarrow_forwardCan you please help answer this question with elaborate step?arrow_forwardConsider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:vestigal; gray; red 580long wings; black; plum 592vestigal; black; red 45long; gray; plum 40vestigal; black; plum 89long; gray; red 94vestigal; gray; plum 3long; black; red 5A total of 1448 progeny were counted.Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?arrow_forward
- What are the F1 phenotypes expected from a cross between a heterozygous red-eyed female fruit fly (XWXw) and a hemizygous red-eyed male fruit fly (XWY)? half of the F1 males will have white eyes, and all F1 females will have red eyes half of the F1 females will have white eyes, and half of the F1 males will have red eyes all F1 males will have white eyes, and all F1 females will have red eyes all F1 males will have white eyes, and all F1 females will have white eyes all F1 progeny will have red eyesarrow_forwardIn humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?arrow_forwardWhen many families were tested for their ability to taste the chemical PTC, the parental pairs were grouped into three types and the progeny totaled. The results were as follows Parents # of Families Tasters Nontasters Taster x taster 425 929 130 Taster x nontaster 289 483 278 Nontaster x nontaster 86 5 218 Assuming that PTC tasting is dominant (P) and nontaster is recessive (p), how can the progeny ratios in each of the three types of matings be accounted for?arrow_forward
- It would be nice if you can give me some explanation please Number 6arrow_forwardGregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. Trait Dominant Recessive Pod color Yellow Green Pea shape Round Wrinkled A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? a) 1/2 b) 1/4 c) 1/8 d) 1/16arrow_forward
