What do the following statements mean a) The loci of the two pairs of gene concerned are on the same chromosome b) The loci of the two pairs of gene concerned are on different chromosomesAssume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?In a breed of cattle, rough coat is dominant over smooth, and black coat is codominant to red.

- You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.) Body Color Wing Surface # of Individuals red smooth 102 yellow smooth 404 red crinkled 396 yellow crinkled…In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r). The hybrids or heterozygous plants (Rr) are pink in color. a) Show the genotype for a white flower and for a red flower. b) If a red-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant, what are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation plants? c) What genotypes and phenotypes will be produced in the F2 generation? d) How did the genotypic and phenotypic ratio compare to each other in this incomplete dominance cross? e) What would the phenotypic ratio have been if this had been complete dominance? f) What kind of offspring can be produced if a red-flowered plant is crossed with a pink-flowered plant? g) What kind of offspring is/are produced if a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant?In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss.

B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear? Show your work. C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?

- 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). a) 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)? b) 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 (a).In D. melanogaster, scarlet eyes (st), curled wings (cu), and spineless bristles (ss) are recessive traits located on chromosome III in that order. The distance between st and cu is 10 cM and the distance between cu and ss is 12 cM. The CoC for this chromosome is 1. A true-breeding female expressing scarlet eyes and spineless bristles is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing curled wings. The F1 are wild type. An F1 female is then test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only scarlet eyes? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only spineless bristles? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only curled wings?Given that loci A and B in Drosophila are sex-linked and 20 map units apart, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect in male and female offspring resulting from the following crosses?
