- You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings.arrow_forwardIn the cross between a female AaBbccDdee and male AabbCcDdee, what proportion of the progeny are expected to be phenotypically identical to the female parent?arrow_forwardYou are looking at the color of feathers in ducks and find that yellow ducks (Y) are dominant to green ducks (y). However, a second gene, H, controls whether the color will be expressed in the feathers. If the duck is hh, the duck will always be white, because the pigment does not go into feathers. What ratio of phenotypes would you expect following a dihybrid cross? A) 9:6:1 B) 9:3:4 C) 13:3 D) 15:1 E) 12:3:1arrow_forward
- In a certain type of pea plant, the gene for yellow color (Y) is dominant to the gene for green color (y), and the gene for round shape (R) is dominant to the gene for wrinkled shape (r). If a homozygous dominant plant is mated with a homozygous recessive plant (P-gen), what proportion in the F2 generation will be homozygous recessive? a) 1/4 b) 1/16 c) 3/4 d) 3/8arrow_forwardIn sasquatches, solid coat color (D) is dominant over spotted coats (d) and straight fur (R) is dominant over frizzy fur (r). You have a solid-colored sasquatch with straight fur and want to determine its genotype, so you decide to perform a TEST CROSS. What is the GENOTYPE of the sasquatch you would cross to this solid-colored, straight haired sasquatch?

A breeder has a black male that has won numerous awards.T he breeder would like to use the dog for breeding if he is purebred (BB). To learn this information, she testcrosses him with a red female (bb). a) If the black male is BB, what kind of gamete (sperm) can he produce? b) If the red female is bb, what kind of gamete (eggs) can she produce? c) If the black male is Bb, what kind(s) of gametes (sperm) can he produce? d) If any of the puppies are red, what is the father's genotype?arrow_forward
- In moose, brown coat color (B) is dominant to albino (no pigment) (b) and rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth coat (r). Two moose are selected for breeding and their genotypes are BBrr and bbRR. The F1 offsprings are then crossed to each other. What is the expected fraction of moose in the F2 that will be albino with a rough coat? a) 1/16 b) 3/16 c) 9/16 d) 1arrow_forwardIn guinea pigs, the gene for black coat color is dominant to the gene for white coat color.
