A peculiar eye condition known as "star” is manifested as a dominant gene in Drosophila. Its recessive allele R* produces the normal eye of wild type. The expression of R can be suppressed by the dominant allele of another locus, Ru-R. Ru-R*, as the recessive allele of the said locus, has no inhibitory effect on R*.

The Xb locus on Alouatta genus, the howler monkey X chromosome has 2 alleles, b+ and b. The b+ allele causes the presence of the Xb surface protein on their granulocyte cells, while the recessive allele b which does not allow the antigen to appear. The Xb locus is at 15 centimorgans, from the GRG locus. The GRG locus produces a normal enzyme activity. Individual howler monkeys with one form of an eye condition have the grg/grg genotype, with the males grg/Y presenting the condition. A male howler monkey with the eye condition caused by this enzyme mutation and no Xb antigen has a normal female howler monkey daughter with Xb antigen. This howler monkey female daughter is expecting a little howler monkey from the mating from a male howler monkey from a different tree. A) Determine the genotype of the howler monkey daughter, from the problem. B) Determine the types and percentages of each gametes in oogenesis produced of the howler monkey daughter female, based on the map distance given.…

You are interested in studying position effect variegation in Drosophila using the chromosome depicted below: Deactivation of the w+ gene gives a white eye phenotype and deactivation of the rst+ gene gives a rough eye phenotype; the normal phenotypes are red and smooth. Because the rst+ and w+ genes have now been placed close to a heterochromatic domain, some sections (or sectors) of the eye display mutant phenotypes due to gene deactivation while others display the normal, wild type phenotype. Which phenotype would you not expect to see rst w Inverted X chromosome white smooth eye sectors white rough eye sectors red smooth eye sectors red rough eye sectors
You are a studying the genetic basis of horn color in unicorns. Gene C determines the color of pigment destined for the horn by converting a pink precursor into a purple pigment. C- individuals make purple pigment whereas cc individuals accumulate pink precursor. Gene D ensures the deposition of the pigment into the horn cells, such that D- individuals have a colored horn (purple or pink), whereas dd individuals have a white horn. You breed two purple horned unicorns to each other (CcDd). Assuming Gene C and Gene D are unlinked, what is the probability that the baby unicorn has a purple horn? Please express your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.69).

mapping gene The genes for ruby eyes (rb), tan body (t) and cut wings (ct) are all found on the X-chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. All of these are recessive traits. They map in the order rb, ct, t with 12.5 map units between rb and ct and 7.5 map units between ct and t. Suppose you cross a cut wing male with a homozygous female that is both tan and has ruby eyes. What will the F1 females look like? Draw map of the section of the X chromosomes that has these 3 genes for the F1 females Assume you testcross your F1 females. What progeny classes would you expect? ii. Give approximate numbers for each class based on a total of 2000 progeny. Assuming the i=1 and there are no double crossovers. Assuming the i=0 and there are the expected number of double crossovers.
Coat color of dogs depend upon the action of at least two genes. At one locus a dominant epistatic inhibitor of coat color pigment (I_) prevents the expression of color alleles at another independently assorting locus, producing white coat color. When the recessive condition exists in the inhibitor locus (ii), the alleles of the hypostatic locus may be expressed, iiB_ producing black and iibb producing brown. When dihybrid white dogs are mated together, determine the: (a) the type of gene interaction (b) the phenotypic proportions expected in the progeny (c) the chance of choosing, from among the white progeny, a genotype that is homozygous at both loci
8-9. White eyes (w) is sex-linked and recessive in Drosophila. Cruved wings(cu) and black body (b) are autosomal recessive alleles on the same chromosome, separated by 20 map units. If one breeds a homozygous white, curved winged female fly to a homozygous black male fly to produce an F1, and inbreeds the F1 males and females, at what frequency is a phenotypically wild-type male expected?

The cystic fibrosis gene encodes a chloride channel protein necessary for normal cellular functions. Let us assume that if at least 5% normal channels are present, the affected individual has mild symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Having less than 5% normal channels produces severe symptoms. At least 50% of the channels must be expressed for the individual to be phenotypically normal. This gene has various mutant recessive alleles: Predict the percent of functional channels and severity of symptoms for the following genotypes: a. heterozygous for CF100 b. homozygous for CF100 c. heterozygous, with one copy of CF100 and one of CF3 d. heterozygous, with one copy of CF1 and one copy of CF3
