In Drosophila, the gene for red and white eye colour is found on the X chromosome. The allele for red eyes (XR) is dominant to the allele for white eyes (Xr). A heterozygous red-eyed female fruit fly was crossed with a white-eyed male fruit fly. Complete the following Punnett square for this cross.

In a species of flowers, blue petals are dominant over purple petals, and a long stem is dominant over a short one. Cross a flower that is heterozygous for both traits with a flower that is homozygous recessive for petal color and homozygous dominant for stem length. Report the genotype and phenotype. *Write your answers in ratio non-reduced form (Example 16:8) Genotype Phenotype
Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross. Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
Use the following information to answer the next four questions. Tomato Plants In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit (FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellow and oval fruit (ffrr). The red and round F1 progeny were then testcrossed to plants that were homozygous recessive for both genes (ffrr) with the following results: Phenotypes Number of Offspring Red and round 2 255 Red and oval 290 Yellow and round 310 Yellow and oval 2 145 Part A: Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio in lowest terms. Part B: Convert the expected phenotypic ratio from Part A into the expected probability for each of the four phenotypes and record them in the table below. Calculate the probability for each of the four phenotypes observed in the cross from the data presented at the beginning of the question by dividing the number of progeny in each class by the total number of progeny and record these…
The discovery of sex-linked traits came from a genetic experiment on flies. A white eyed male fly was discovered. The trait was discovered to be sex-linked recessive. To guarantee that the white eye trait is recessive, he did a cross of XRXr and XrY. Complete the Punnett Square. State the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.

You are conducting independent research for your Honors Thesis in a Drosophila research lab. One of the graduate student researchers has provided you with two mutant strains of Drosophila. One has scarlet eyes, and the other has brown eyes. You cross homozygous scarlet-eyed male Drosophila with female flies homozygous for the brown-eye color allele, and all of the male and female F1 flies have wild-type eyes. Crosses involving F1 males x F1 females yield the results shown below. You know the traits involved are autosomal, and that reciprocal parental crosses produce similar results. a) What is the phenotypic ration observed among the offspring in the F2 generation? b) How many pairs of genes are involved in determining these traits? Please explain. c) Please EXPLAIN the genetic basis for the pattern of inheritance illustrated in this cross. Be sure to mention the alleles involved.

Another undergraduate researcher in your lab is studying mutations affecting the wings of Drosophila melanogaster. She has identified two mutant phenotypes of interest: bent wings (be), which are recessive to the wild-type straight wings (be+), and apterous (ap) mutants (which are wingless). The apallele is recessive to the wild-type allele (ap+), which allows wings to develop. If a…

# of Green Leaves _________111______________ # of White Leaves ___________35______________ If a heterozygous F1 Tobacco plant was crossed to an albino plant, what is the expected number of green and white plants in the next generation? (show Punnett square and give the expected ratio)
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…
