Heterozygous Cp cp chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cp cp). The dominant Cp allele is lethal when homozygous. Two alleles of an independently segregating gene determine white (W-) versus yellow (ww) skin color. From matings between chickens heterozygous for both of these genes, what phenotypic classes will be represented among the viable progeny and what are their expected relative frequencies?

In Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-typephenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy.

The recessive, X-linked z1mutation of the Drosophilagene zeste (z) can produce a yellow (zeste) eye coloronly in flies that have two or more copies of the wildtype white (w) gene. Using this property, tandem duplications of the w+ gene called w+Rwere identified.Males with the genotype y+ z1w+R spl+ / Y thus havezeste eyes. These males were crossed to females withthe genotype y z1 w+R spl / y+ z1 w+R spl+. (These fourgenes are closely linked on the X chromosome, in theorder given in the genotype, with the centromere tothe right of all these genes: y = yellow bodies; y+ =tan bodies; spl = split bristles; spl+ = normal bristles.) Out of 81,540 male progeny of these females,the following exceptions were found:Class A 2430 yellow bodies, zeste eyes, wild-type bristlesClass B 2394 tan bodies, zeste eyes, split bristlesClass C 23 yellow bodies, wild-type eyes, wild-type bristlesClass D 22 tan bodies, wild-type eyes, split bristlesa. What were the phenotypes of the remainder of the81,540 males…
In Drosophila, M. Green found a singed allele (sn) withsome unusual characteristics. Females homozygous forthis X-linked allele have singed bristles, but they havenumerous patches of sn+ (wild-type) bristles on theirheads, thoraxes, and abdomens. When these flies aremated with sn males, some females give only singedprogeny, but others give both singed and wild-type progeny in variable proportions. Explain these results.
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
In Drosophila fruit flies, the genes for warped wings (dwp), rumpled bristles (rmp), and pallid wings (pld) are linked. A trihybrid female for all three allleles is crossed with homozygous recessive male for all three alleles and the offspring obtained showed the following phenotypes: 3 pld rmp dwp 428 pld rmp + 427 + + dwp 48 + rmp + 47 pld + dwp 23 pld + + 2 + + + 22 + rmp dwp What is the order and map distance between these three alleles?
Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous forthe recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation).Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele makebrown pigment, while those with at least one copy ofB make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbitswere crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the doublerecessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.a. What phenotypic proportions would have beenexpected if the b and c loci were unlinked?b. How far apart are the two loci?
n mice, the Ay allele of the agouti gene is recessive lethal, but it is dominant to wild type for yellow coat color. For an unlinked gene called C, cc makes no pigment and are albino while C_ mice will make pigment in in their coat. cc is epistatic to A or AY with regard to coat color, but not for viability. What phenotypic ratio would you expect from the progeny produced by two mice of the genotype: AAy Cc? (Note that “agouti” is the wild-type coat color.) 9 agouti : 3 black : 3 white : 1 yellow 3 agouti : 6 yellow : 3 white 12 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown 9 agouti : 3 yellow : 4 white 8 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown
In humans, the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene involved in sugar metabolismis X-linked. The dominant allele (G) codes for fast enzymes for normal cell functioning while the recessiveallele (g) codes for slow enzymes, which are responsible for the reduced enzymatic activity of cells.However, the presence of slow enzymes has minimal effect in the overall functioning of heterozygotes,thus normal. Recessives, however, are more prone to oxidative reactions that speed up the celldamaging process, thus weak (but not lethal). If random inactivation occurs during dosage compensation,what would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the children of a heterozygous mother and a recessivefather?
In Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn+ and ct+ is crossed to a sn ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows sn ct 36 sn ct+ 13 sn+ ct 12 sn+ ct+ 39 What is the map distance between sn and ct?
In Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy.

In Drosophila melanogaster, cinnabar eye (cn) and vestigial wing (vg) are simple recessive traits. A pure breeding cinnabar fly is crossed with a pure breeding vestigial wing fly and have offspring that are all wild type. If the genes are closely linked and no crossing over is found to occur, then what would the F2 offspring phenotypes be when testcrossed? O 1/2 wild type and 1/2 double mutant 1/2 cinnabar and 1/2 vesitigial wing O all wild type O 1/4 wild type, 1/4 cinnabar, 1/4 vestigial and 1/4 double mutant
