The wing type of a particular species of insect is determined by a sex-linked gene with two alleles, A (which is dominant) and a. Spotted wings are recessive to plain wings. Questions A plain-winged male is crossed with a heterozygous plain-winged female. (a) (i) What proportion of male offspring of this mating should you expect to have plain wings? (ii) What proportion of female offspring should you expect to have plain wings?

You have a female snail that coils to the right, but you do not knowits genotype. You may assume that right coiling (D) is dominant toleft coiling (d). You also have male snails of known genotype.How would you determine the genotype of this female snail? Inyour answer, describe your expected results depending on whetherthe female is DD, Dd, or dd.
An insect species is discovered in which the heterogametic sex isunknown. An X-linked recessive mutation for reduced wing (rw)is discovered. Contrast the F1 and F2 generations from a crossbetween a female with reduced wings and a male with normalsizedwings when(a) the female is the heterogametic sex.(b) the male is the heterogametic sex.

A female homozygous for an X-linked allele can produce how many types of gametes with respect to that allele? c. A female heterozygous for an X-linked allele can produce how many types of gametes with respect to that allele?
Human females have two X chromosomes (XX); males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). a. With respect to X-linked alleles, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele? c.

In a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.
In garden peas, yellow seeds (Y)(Y) are dominant to green seeds (y)(y), and inflated pods (I)(I) are dominant to constricted pods (i)(i). Suppose you have crossed YYIIYYII parents with yyiiyyii parents. What would be all the genotype(s) of gametes produced by F1F1 individuals?
How many different types of gametes can be formed by individualsof the following genotypes? What are they in each case?(a) AaBb, (b) AaBB, (c) AaBbCc, (d) AaBBcc, (e) AaBbcc, and(f) AaBbCcDdEe?
In dogs, wire-haired is due to a dominant gene (W), smooth-haired is due to its recessive allele (w). (must show Punnett Square) Two wire-haired dogs are mated. Among the offspring of their first litter is a smooth-haired pup. What is the Genotype of the Parents? () If these, two wire-haired dogs mate again, what are the chances that they will produce another smooth-haired pup? What are the chances that the pup will wire-haired pup? (+) A wire-haired male is mated with a smooth- haired female. The mother of the wire-haired male was smooth-haired. What are the phenotypes and genotypes of the pups they could produce? (t)
Assuming (i) that the two chromosomes in everyhomologous pair carry different alleles of somegenes, and (ii) that no crossing-over takes place, howmany genetically different offspring could any onehuman couple potentially produce? Which of thesetwo assumptions (i or ii) is more realistic?
1. If one parent is Tt, what alleles can they pass on to an offspring? (we're talking about a parent producing a gamete, right?) 2. If one parent is TT and the other parent is Tt, what are the possible offspring (These are zygotes, right?) --This is where it gets confusing so make sure to read over Larsen's explanation, and my explanation in the lecture video. The first two questions were super simple, but they were designed to orient your thinking for a dihybrid cross 3. If one parent is TtRr, what alleles can they pass on to an offspring? (what do their gametes look like in terms of letters?) 4. Same as #3, but with different letters. If one parent is TTrr, what alleles can the pass on to an offspring?
(This one is more complicated). Two true breeding fruit flies are allowed to mate. One fly ishomozygous dominant for body color and eye color while the other is homozygous recessive forbody color and eye color. (g+:gray body, g:black body, e+:ebony eyes, e:red), The F1 flies areallowed to mate. What are the following probabilities in the F2 generation? For this problemmake sure to show the Punnett Square for your F2 generation and all of your calculations. Youdo not need to show the Punnett Square for the F1 generation. Answer in percent and round to 2decimals.a. Two of three fruit flies are gray and red.b. The first fruit fly is gray and ebony, the second fruit fly is gray and red, and the third fruit fly is black and ebony.
You are an allele on a single uncondensed chromosome in a Yellowfever-carrying mosquito (Aedes aegypti) diploid cell (2n = 6). Demonstrate in as much detail as possible (1) how you will get to each genetically identical diploid cell of the multicellular offspring; (2) how you will get to the next generation of sexually reproduced progeny. Help, I no understand. Perhaps you will?
