- Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?A fruit fly with a gray body and red eyes (genotype BbPp) is mated with a fly having a black and purple eyes (genotype bbpp). Show diagrammatically a genetic cross between the two flies and the possible genotypes and phenotypes of F1. What ratio of offspring would you expect if the body-colour and eye-colour genes are on different chromosome (unlinked)? When mating is actually carried out, most of the offspring look like the parents, but 3% have a gray body and purple eyes, and 3% have a black body and red eyes. Compare and discuss the observation with your answer in part (
- What is the correct table in these two given? 1. Take two coins and assume that heads represent the dominantallele (A) and tails represents the recessive allele (a). The genotype for each coin isheterozygous (Aa).2. Assume that each coin represents one parent. When a single coin is flipped, one gameteis formed (through the process of meiosis). If the flipped coin is on heads, then thegamete has the dominant allele (A). When both coins are flipped simultaneously, therewill be two possible gametes that can combine through fertilization to form a zygote. Eachtime you flip both coins, you will record the “genotype” of the offspring.3. Flip the coins 100 times and record your results in the chart belowUse the rules of probability to answer the following question: in a cross between homozygous pea plants with yellow, round seeds (YYRR) and homozygous pea plants with green, wrinkled seeds (yyrr), what is theprobability of an F2 plant having yellow, round seeds?Give typed explanation In pea plants, the tall allele (T) is dominant to the dwarf allele (t) and the yellow pea color allele (Y) is dominant to the green pea color allele (y).

- Erminette fowls have mostly light coloured feathers with an occasional black one, giving a flecked appearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a total of 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks, and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test your hypotheses?A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1 individuals are then crossed with one another. Question text The expected phenotypic ratio for leaf shape and fruit colour genes is 9:3:3:1, if both genes are on different chromosomes and assort independently during gamete formation. The information below represents two sets of data collected from the above cross. Data Set 1 is from a population of 5000 tomato plants and Data Set 2 is from a population of 50 tomato plants. Phenotypes Observed Probabilities Data Set 1(N = 5000) Data Set 2(N = 50) Regular Red 0.58 0.050 Regular Yellow 0.16 0.29 Potato Red 0.20 0.050 Potato Yellow 0.060 0.61 A. Compare both data sets to the expected probabilities. Are there any significant differences between the observed results and the expected…A female of genotype a b c + + + produces 100 meiotic tetrads. Of these, 68 show no crossover events. Of the remaining 32, 20 show a crossover between a and b, 10 show a crossover between b and c, and 2 show a double crossover between a and b and between b and c. Of the 400 gametes produced, how many of each of the 8 different genotypes will be produced? Assuming the order a–b–c and the allele arrangement previously shown, what is the map distance between these loci?
- You observe a very large pairing loop at meiosis. Is it more likely to be from a heterozygous inversion or heterozygous deletion? ExplainTwo plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part F: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be A - bb if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part G: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aaB- If the genes are 30 mu apart? Part H: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aabb if the genes are 30 mu apart?Consider these two crosses and assume that independent segregation is exhibited by all gene pairs: RrmmTT x RRMmTtFfGg x FfGg Derive the gametic ratio of the second parent in each cross using the branching method. What proportion of the offspring in each cross will be heterozygous for all gene pairs? Derive the genotypic ratio for the offspring from each cross using the branching method.
