Chickens with shortened wings and legs are called creepers. When creepers are mated to normal  birds, they produce creepers, and normal individuals with equal frequency. When creepers are  mated to creepers, they produced three creepers to one normal, (one creeper died). Crosses between  normal birds produced normal progeny only. How can these results be explained using C-c  notation?

The image shows a pair of homologous chromosomes from a single parent before gamete production. M1 and M2 are maternal chromosomes, while P1 and P2 are paternal chromosomes. Two traits are shown: D represents seed color (D – green, d – yellow), while F represents flower color (F – purple, f – white). These two traits follow the patterns of basic Mendelian genetics. During crossing-over between the M2 F allele and the P1 f allele, a mutation occurred and the portion of P1 did not reattach to the chromosome. Which of the following explains what would happen to the proportion of white flowers in a population resulting from this mutation? A - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is distributed to more gametes. B - There would be a decrease in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is not distributed to as many gametes. C - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele would not be masked by the…

In corn, two independent, recessive nuclear genes, japonica (j) and iojap (ij), produce variegation (green and white striped leaves). Matings between individuals heterozygous for japonica always produce 3 green:1 striped individuals regardless of how the cross is performed. You have a variegated plant that could be either jj or ijij . What cross can you make to determine the genotype of this plant, and what results do you expect in the F1 generation in each case?

Parts a-c of this question address the crossing of parents with the following genotypes: A/a; B/b; C/c; D/d; E/e; F/f                       x          a/a; b/b; c/c; d/d; e/e; f/f a. What is the probability that an F1 progeny that is homozygous recessive at every locus will be produced? For values greater than 0, please answer as a fraction.  b. What is the probability that an F1 progeny that is homozygous dominant at every locus will be produced? For values greater than 0, please answer as a fraction. c. Would one of the parents in this cross be considered a test cross parent (tester)?  Yes, the parent on the left, with genotype A/a; B/b; C/c; D/d; E/e; F/f would be the test cross parent (tester). Yes, the parent on the right, with genotype a/a; b/b; c/c; d/d; e/e; f/f would be the test cross parent (tester). Yes, both parents would be considered a test cross parent (tester) No, neither parent would be considered a test cross parent (tester) None of the above and I have explained my…
