In this test cross of AaBbCc you got these results: 100 АВС 100 abc 100 ABC 100 abC 25Abc 25ABC 25 аBС 25 аВс a) Which two genes are linked? Show or explain how you know. b) How far apart are those genes?
A scientist working with Drosophila flies studies wing length, an X-linked characteristic. He has pure-breeding lines of short-winged and long-winged flies available. He decides to use reciprocal crosses for his work.i) What are reciprocal crosses? ii) Provide an example of the reciprocal crosses this scientist will do.iii) If the gene for wing length was sex-linked, but present in the pseudoautosomal region, what would you expect the outcome of a reciprocal cross to be with regards to males and females?
Using designations "Group A", “Group B," etc., organize the mutant strains into complementation groups. If the result of any cross does not fit your groupings, indicate which cross(es) you have excluded. Consider the consequence if one of the mutations was dominant. You should see that complementation tests could not be used to provide information about dominant mutations. a) If a mutation were dominant, how would the diploid be affected? What effect would this have on the determination of your complementation groups? b) How would you test if any of these trp¯ mutations were dominant?
Consider the first category of test-cross offspring shown in figure 8.2 (+b, LS). Consider also that the parents of the heterozygous female flies in the test cross had the following genotypes: bb, SS, and +, LL. A. What would be the physical phenotype of these flies? B. If PC was conducted with the DNA of one of these flies using the primers for the molecular marker, what would be the appearance of the bands on an electrophoresis gel with the PC products? C. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?
in three points mapping one parent has the A+C/+b+ genotype that was crossed to a homozygous recessive second parent. a)what is the genotype of this second parent? b)what are the genotypes of the double cross over offspring?
1) Short hair in rabbits (R) is dominant over long hair (r). The following crosses are carried out, producing the progeny shown. Give the most likely genotypes of the parents in each cross.

Two pure-breeding mutant plants produce white flowers. When they are crossed, all of the progeny have wild-type purple flowers. What does this genetic complementation tell you? A) The genes are part of two distinct biosynthetic pathways. B) The two lines exhibit different mutations in the same gene. C) More than one gene is involved in determining the phenotype. D) The allele is pleiotropic. E) The allele exhibits incomplete dominance.
One example of codominance found in animals is the speckled chicken. This organism has alleles for both black and white feathers. What is the ratio of the genotype if the speckled chicken is crossed to a homozygous black chicken? Explain. A) 1:1:1:1 B) 2:1:1 C) 2:2 D) 3:1
