In fruit flies, curved wings are recessive to straight wings, and ebony
body is recessive to gray body. A cross was made between truebreeding flies with curved wings and gray bodies and flies with
straight wings and ebony bodies. The F1 offspring were then mated to
flies with curved wings and ebony bodies to produce an F2 generation.
A. Diagram the genotypes of this cross, starting with the parental
generation and ending with the F2 generation.
B. What are the predicted
C. Let’s suppose the following data were obtained for the F2 generation:
114 curved wings, ebony body
105 curved wings, gray body 111 straight wings, gray body
114 straight wings, ebony body
Conduct a chi square analysis to determine if the experimental data
are consistent with the expected outcome based on Mendel’s laws.

- You cross two pea plants both from pure breeding lines. One has hairy leaves and the other has smooth leaves. All the offspring have hairy leaves. If you take one of the offspring (F1) and cross it back to smooth-leaved plant what phenotypic ratio do you expect in the next generation? Group of answer choices A. half smooth and half hairy B. all smooth C. all hairy D. 3/4 hairy and 1/4 smootharrow_forwardA tall plant is crossed with a short plant, and the F1 progeny are all intermediate in size between the two parental plants. If the intermediate F1 progeny were allowed to self-pollinate, and the F2 progeny were mostly intermediate in size, but following a normal distribution (bell shaped curve) with some tall and some short, this would suggest: A. Incomplete dominance. B. Polygenic (multifactorial) inheritance. C. Complete dominance. D. Codominance.arrow_forwardCan you please find the best conclusion answer for this problem?arrow_forward
- Drosophila eye color is determined by a single gene. Supposed you collect a population of drosophila and note that some flies have white eyes and some flies have red eyes. A red eyed male mates with a female red eye to get the following progeny: 75 red eyed females 35 red eyed males 38 white eyed males A. Specifically, what inheritance pattern can explain these results? B. What must be the genotype of the two red eyed flies that mated in your cross?arrow_forwardA cross is made between a heterozygote, +++/abc, and a recessive homozygote, abc/abc.

A breeder has a black male that has won numerous awards.T he breeder would like to use the dog for breeding if he is purebred (BB). To learn this information, she testcrosses him with a red female (bb). a) If the black male is BB, what kind of gamete (sperm) can he produce? b) If the red female is bb, what kind of gamete (eggs) can she produce? c) If the black male is Bb, what kind(s) of gametes (sperm) can he produce? d) If any of the puppies are red, what is the father's genotype?arrow_forward
- Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short? Provide answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster, ebony body color is determined by the e allele. The e+ allele produces the wild-typehoney-colored body. In heterozygotes, the body is honey-colored except for a dark marking called the trident seen on the thorax. The e+ allele is thus considered to be incompletely dominant to the e allele.a. When female e+ e+ flies are crossed to male e+ e flies, what is the probability that progeny will have the tridentmarking? Animals with the marking mate among themselves. Of 100 progeny, how many would be expected to have a trident, how many would have ebony bodies, and how many would have honey-colored bodies?arrow_forwardblack skin is dominant to pink skin color in pigs. two heterozygous black pigs are crossed a. what is the probability that the first and second offspring will have black skin b. what is the probability that their offspring will have pink skin c. if they have a total of 3 piglets, what is the probability that all 3 of them will have black skinarrow_forward
- Under what conditions does one expect a 9:3:3:1 ratio? What may cause this ratio to vary? A. dihybrid cross with independent assortment; epistasis B trihybrid cross with linked chromosomes; Down syndrome C dihybrid cross with linked chromosomes; the 9:3:3:1 ratio will remain unchanged regardless of other conditions D. dihybrid cross with independent assortment; Turner syndrome E. monohybrid cross with independent assortment; epistasisarrow_forwardWebbed fingers is inherited as an X-linked disease An unaffected male marries an affected female. a.

White-flowering snapdragons are homozygous for a different allele (R2). Heterozygous plants (R1R2) bear pink flowers. What phenotypes should appear among first-generation offspring of the crosses listed? What are the expected proportions for each phenotype? a. R1R1 × R1R2 c. R1R2 × R1R2 b. R1R1 × R2R2 d.
