What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
The XG locus on the human X chromosome has twoalleles, XG+ and XG. The XG+ allele causes the presence of the Xg surface antigen on red blood cells,while the recessive XG allele does not allow antigento appear. The XG locus is 10 m.u. from the STSlocus. The STS+ allele produces normal activity ofthe enzyme steroid sulfatase, while the recessive STSallele results in the lack of steroid sulfatase activityand the disease ichthyosis (scaly skin). A man withichthyosis and no Xg antigen has a normal daughterwith Xg antigen. This daughter is expecting a child.a. If the child is a son, what is the probability he willlack Xg antigen and have ichthyosis?b. What is the probability that a son would have boththe antigen and ichthyosis?c. If the child is a son with ichthyosis, what is theprobability he will have Xg antigen?
Explain the rationale behind a testcross. Is it necessary for one ofthe parents to be homozygous recessive for the genes of interest?In the heterozygous parent of a testcross, must all of the dominantalleles be linked on the same chromosome and all of the recessivealleles be linked on the homolog?
Female fruit flies homozygous for the X-linked white-eye alleleare crossed to males with red eyes. On very rare occasions, an offspringof such a cross is a male with red eyes. Assuming these rareoffspring are not due to a new mutation in one of the mother’s Xchromosomes that converted the white-eye allele into a red-eyeallele, explain how a red-eyed male arises.
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.
Red eyes is the wild-type phenotype in Drosophila, and severaldifferent genes (with each gene existing in two or more alleles) affect eye color. One allele causes purple eyes, and a different allelecauses vermilion eyes. The purple and vermilion alleles are recessive to red eye color. Two types of crosses provided thefollowing data:Cross 1: Males with vermilion eyes × females with purple eyes354 offspring, all with red eyesCross 2: Males with purple eyes × females with vermilion eyes212 male offspring with vermilion eyes221 female offspring with red eyesExplain the pattern of inheritance based on these results. Whatadditional crosses might you make to confirm your hypothesis?
. In mice, the dominant allele Gs of the X-linked geneGreasy produces shiny fur, while the recessive wildtype Gs+ allele determines normal fur. The dominantallele Bhd of the X-linked Broadhead gene causesskeletal abnormalities including broad heads andsnouts, while the recessive wild-type Bhd+ alleleyields normal skeletons. Female mice heterozygousfor the two alleles of both genes were mated withwild-type males. Among 100 male progeny of thiscross, 49 had shiny fur, 48 had skeletal abnormalities,2 had shiny fur and skeletal abnormalities, and 1 waswild type.a. Diagram the cross described and calculate thedistance between the two genes.b. What would have been the results if you hadcounted 100 female progeny of the cross?
In 1952, an article in the British Medical Journalreported interesting differences in the behavior ofblood plasma obtained from several people who suffered from X-linked recessive hemophilia. Whenmixed together, the cell-free blood plasma from certain combinations of individuals could form clots inthe test tube. For example, the following table showswhether clots could form (+) or not (−) in variouscombinations of plasma from four people withhemophilia:1 and 1 − 2 and 3 +1 and 2 − 2 and 4 +1 and 3 + 3 and 3 −1 and 4 + 3 and 4 −2 and 2 − 4 and 4 −What do these data tell you about the inheritance ofhemophilia in these individuals? Do these data allowyou to exclude any models for the biochemical pathway governing blood clotting?
In cats, orange coat color is determined by the b allele, and blackcoat color is determined by the B allele. The heterozygous conditionresults in a coat pattern known as tortoiseshell. These genesare X-linked. What kinds of offspring would be expected from across of a black male and a tortoiseshell female? What are thechances of getting a tortoiseshell male?
Let’s suppose that you have made a karyotype of a female fruit flywith red eyes and found that it has three X chromosomes insteadof the normal two. Although you do not know its parents, you doknow that this fly came from a mixed culture of flies in whichsome had red eyes, some had white eyes, and some had eosin eyes.Eosin is an allele of the same gene that has white and red alleles.Eosin is a pale orange color. The red allele is dominant and thewhite allele is recessive. The expression of the eosin allele, however, depends on the number of copies of the allele. When femaleshave two copies of this allele, they have eosin eyes. When femalesare heterozygous for the eosin allele and the white allele, they havelight-eosin eyes. When females are heterozygous for the red alleleand the eosin allele, they have red eyes. Males that have a singlecopy of the eosin allele have eosin eyes.You cross the XXX red-eyed female with a white-eyed male andcount the numbers of offspring. You may assume that…
In the experiment of Figure shown, Stern followed the inheritancepattern in which females carried two abnormal X chromosomesto correlate genetic recombination with the physical exchange ofchromosome pieces. Is it necessary to use a strain carrying twoabnormal chromosomes, or could he have used a strain in whichfemales carried one normal X chromosome and one abnormal Xchromosome with a deletion at one end and an extra piece of the Ychromosome at the other end?
In com, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. However, the presence ofa nuclear fertility restorer gene (F_) restores fertility to male sterile lines. Draw your simulated crosses male sterile female x FF male and give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross.
