Bokoblins and Moblins are pig-like monsters commonly found around the Kingdom of Hyrule. You hypothesize that monster type (bokoblin/moblin) and color (red/blue) are controlled by independently assorting mendelian loci with bokoblin dominant to moblin, and red dominant to blue. To test your hypothesis you cross a true-breeding line of red bokoblins to a true-breeding line of blue moblins. The F1 generation is entirely red bokoblins. The results for the F2 generation are in the table below. Use a chi-squared test to determine if your hypothesis is supported or not. Write your conclusion in 1-2 eloquent sentences. Red bokoblins 37 Red Moblins 12 Blue bokoblins 13 Blue moblins 38

In Thomas Hunt Morgan's experiments examining the transmission of eye color in fruit-flies, he observed that when he crossed heterozyYgous red-eyed females to red-eyed males, 1/2 of the male offspring were white-eyed, while all of the female offspring are red-eved, Which of the following best explains the results? 1/2 of the male offspring inherit a white-eye color allele from their heterozygous mothers. Since there is no eye color gene on the Y chromosome, their eyes are white. 1/2 of the male offspring inherit a Y-chromosome from their fathers. Since there is no eye color gene on the Y chromosome, their eyes are white. All of the female offspring inherit a dominant, red-eyed allele from their mothers A 3 to 1 ratio of dominant to recessive offspring are expected in a single factor cross

In classical Mendelian genetics, how can one check the genotype of a parent (A) expressing the characters of a dominant allele?   Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.

In watermelons there is a gene for colour and a gene for shape located on different chromosomes. The alleles for green colour and for short shape are dominant over their alleles for striped colour and for long shape. Suppose a plant with long striped fruit is crossed with a plant heterozygous for both these characters. What phenotypes would this cross produce and in what ratios?
