You set up a cross between a male fruit fly with lobe eyes and a true breeding female fruit fly with reduced bristles and disrupted wings. In the F1 offspring you see the all the flies have WT bristles and WT wings. However, half the flies have WT eyes and half the flies have lobe eyes. You take 20 of the F1 female flies with lobe eyes and mate them to 20 true breeding male flies with reduced bristles and disrupted wings and observe the following offspring: 169 lobe eyes and reduced bristles 137 lobe eyes and disrupted wings 637 reduced bristles and disrupted wings 158 reduced bristles 36 wildtype 174 disrupted wings 657 lobe eyes 32 lobe eyes reduced bristles and disrupted wings Fruit flies are unusual in that the male fruit flies do not undergo crossovers during meiosis. If you had taken 20 of the F1 Males with lobe eyes and crossed them to 20 females that were true breeding for reduced bristles and disrupted wings what phenotypes and in what proportions would you expect in the…
Suppose a species of tulip has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. The CR allele produces red tulips, the CB allele produces blue tulips, and the CW allele produces white tulips. Both CR and CB are dominant over CW, but CR and CB are incompletely dominant with each other, so CRCB heterozygotes have purple flowers. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the offspring of the following crosses, in the order red : blue : purple : white? Enter your answers as the most simplified ratio (e.g. 1 : 2 : 1 : 1 instead of 2 : 4 : 2 : 2). Enter 0 if none of the offspring from a cross will be a particular color. CRCB × CBCW _____ red : ______blue : ______purple : ______white CRCB × CRCW - _______red : _____blue : _____purple : _____white CRCW × CBCW - _____red : _____blue : _____purple : _____white CRCB × CRCB - red : blue : purple : white
1) In some species of pea plant, pea colour is determined by one pair of alleles and pea shape by another - the genes are on different chromosomes. A plant grown from a round green pea was self-pollinated. The following numbers of offspring were obtained: 95 green round, 28 white round, 30 green wrinkled, 11 white wrinkled. a) What is the ratio of the phenotypes in the offspring? b) In each pair of alleles, colour and shape, which allele is dominant and which recessive? c) what was the genotype of the parent(s)? Use a diagram to show how this explains the phenotype ratio of the offspring.
A pea plant is heterozygous for both pod shape and color. I is the allele for dominant, inflated pod; i is the allele for recessive, constricted pod. G is the allele for dominant, green pod; g is the allele for recessive, yellow color characteristic. Suppose this plant is crossed with a homozygous pea with inflated, green pod, what will be the possible genotype of the offspring? Construct the punnet square, then identify the following: 1. Parents’ genes?2. Parents’ traits?3. Genes (genotype)?4. Shape, color? (phenotype)?5. Genotypic ratio?6. Phenotypic ratio?
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
Mendelian Genetics Punnett Square Question : In cattle, the hornless condition (H) is dominant to that for the possession of horns (h). a) A horned bull is mated to a hornless cow which is heterozygous . What kind of offspring are to be expected and in what ratio ? b) If the cow is then mated to a hornless bull which is also heterozygous, what is the chance that the first calf will have horns ? c) Assuming that the first calf has horns, what is the chance that the second calf will be hornless ?
A class of students mated fruit flies to study the inheritance of traits. The crosses and their results are described below. Cross 1: A female fruit fly with red eyes mates with a male fruit fly with brown eyes producing 63 offspring. All 63 offspring in this first generation have red eyes. Cross 3: A female fruit fly with black and tan striped body color mates with a male with black body color. In this first generation, al 56 offspring have black and tan striped body color. Cross 2: A red-eyed male and a red- eyed female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 98 offspring produced, 74 have red eyes and 24 have brown eyes. Cross 4: A black and tan striped male and a black and tan striped female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 103 offspring, 76 have black and tan striped body color and 27 have black body color. How do meiosis and gene expression…
The recessive allele s causes Drosophila to have small wings, and the s+ allele causes normal wings. This gene is known to be X linked. If a small-winged male is crossed with a homozygous wild-type female, what ratio of normal to small-winged flies can be expected in each sex in the F1? If F1 flies are intercrossed, what F2 progeny ratios are expected? What progeny ratios are predicted if F1 females are backcrossed with their father?
A scientist studying a species of algae, Gracilaria domingensis, discovered that its color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. The individuals with a red or green phenotype are homozygous for the red or green alleles and the individuals with a brown phenotype are heterozygous. The scientist crosses two brown individuals. What percent of the offspring from this cross is predicted to be brown? A: 25%B: 50%C: 75%D: 100%
You have a purple-flowered pea plant, but you do not know if it is homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (Pp) for flower color because both genotypes result in the same purple phenotype. Purple color allel (P) is dominant over white flower allel (p). What would you do to determine the genotype of flower color of this plant? Lötfen birini seçin: O a. Crossing the plant with homozygous large flowered pea plant (LL) Ob. Crossing the plant with heterozygous purple flowered pea plant (Pp) Crossing the plant with homozygous dominant purple flowered pea plant (PP) d. Crossing the plant with a plant whose genotype is unknown e. Crossing the plant with homozygous recessive white flowered pea plant (pp)
In certain species of flies, eye color is controlled by sim-·ple dominance by a single pair of alleles. A red-eyed fly was crossed with a white-eyed fly, both of whose parents had white eyes. All of their offspring (both female and male) had red eyes.a. Which is dominant, the allele for red eyesor the allele for white eyes?b. What is the genotype of the white-eyed parents?c. If the white-eyed parent was mated with one of the red-eyed offspring, what phenotypic ratio wouldyou expect regarding eye color?
In 1911. Thomas Hunt Morgan collected the following crossover gene frequencieswhile studying Drosophila. Bar-shaped eyes are indicated by the B allele, andcarnation eyes are indicated by the allele C. Fused veins on wings (A) and scallopedwings (S) are located on the same chromosomes
