A spotted gerbil (C) with short fur (F) is crossed with an albino gerbil (c) with long fur (f). The spotted, short-furred offspring are crossed with an albino (c) long-fur (f). A) What types of offspring and in what proportions would you expect if the two genes were unlinked? B) What would you expect if they were linked and 30 m.u. apart?

4) In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown in the image attached. a) Assign the letter “s” to the wing pattern gene and letter “w” to the background color gene. Write in the capital letter for the dominant phenotype and the lower case letter for the recessive phenotype. Also, write whether each allele is dominant (D) or recessive (R). Wing pattern gene: Spotted  - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Striped - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Background color gene: orange: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ white: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:_____   b) Based on the four matings in Question 4: What are the genotypes of each parent in each cross? If more…

In humans, the recessive allele that causes a form of red-green colour blindness (c) is found on the X chromosome. a.) Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation from a colour-blind father and a mother who is homozygous for normal colour vision. b.) Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation from a father who has normal colour vision and a mother who is heterozygous for colour vision. c.) Draw a Punnett square to determine the genotypes of parents that could produce a daughter who is colour-blind
