In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for brown (b) fur. A black guinea pig is crossed with a brown guinea pig, producing five F1 black guinea pigs and six F1 brown guinea pigs. a. How many copies of the black allele (B) will be present in each cell of an F1 black guinea pig at the following stages: G1, G2, metaphase of mitosis, metaphase I of meiosis, metaphase II of meiosis, and after the second cytokinesis following meiosis? Assume that no crossing over takes place. b. How many copies of the brown allele (b) will be present in each cell of an F1 brown guinea pig at the same stages as those listed in part a? Assume that no crossing over takes place.

Given the following genetic map, predict the chance an offspring would inherit the exact same haplotypes that the parents had. Assume interference in this area of the chromosome is 5%. Please report your value as a percent (%). A |-- 3 mu -- |-- 12 mu -- | Parent 1 Haplotypes: A1 B6 C14/A5 B1 C3 Parent 2 Haplotypes: A8 B3 C2 / A7 B2 C5
The orange coat color allele in cats is located on the X chromosome and is one of two genes responsible for tortoiseshell coat color. Two true-breeding cats are crossed, a black male and an orange female. Considering the female kittens, how many X chromosomes would be silenced at the indicated developmental stages: primary oocyte, single-cell female embryo, and adult female somatic cell. Considering the female kittens, some interesting coat colors were found. The kitten named Elsa had one black patch and one orange patch. The kitten named Annika had ten black patches and ten orange patches. Explain why these sisters look different based on their development from a single-cell female embryo to the somatic cells of the kitten.
Retinoblastoma can be seen as a familial cancer, inherited in an autosomal recessive manner (RB-/RB-), individuals heterozygous for the RB+ and RB- alleles can develop tumor as a result of… A mitotic crossover that leads to homozygosity for RB+ in some cells and RB- in other cells A meiotic mutation in the RB+ allele that leads to homozygosity for RB+ A somatic mutation in the RB- allele that leads to homozygosity for RB+ The fact that RB- is dominant to RB+
Let’s say there is an organism with two pairs of alleles, W/w and Z/z, each pair is located on a different pair of chromosomes in the organism’s somatic cells. During Prophase, what will you observe in the somatic cells?

In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, Xm causes miniature wings. List the F2 phenotypic ratios if: a miniature-winged female is crossed with a normal male and a miniature-winged male is crossed with a normal female. What would the phenotypic ratio from (a) be if the miniature-winged gene were autosomal? Assume in all cases that the P1 individuals are true-breeding.
In Drosophila melanogaster, red eyes are dominant over white and the variation for this characteristic is on the X chromosome. Vestigial wings (v) are recessive to normal (V) for an autosomal gene. Predict the appearance of offspring of the following crosses: XW/Xw V/v×Xw/Y v/v, Xw/Xw V/v × XW/Y V/v.

LIST THE F₂ PHENOTYPIC RATIOS IF: A MINIATURE-WINGED FEMALE IS CROSSED WITH A NORMAL MALE AND A MINIATURE-WINGED MALE IS ● ● CROSSED WITH A NORMAL FEMALE. WHAT WOULD THE PHENOTYPIC RATIO FROM (A) BE IF THE MINIATURE- WINGED GENE WERE AUTOSOMAL? ASSUME IN ALL CASES THAT THE P1 INDIVIDUALS ARE TRUE-BREEDING.
Cross C: Homozygote wild type flies (+/+) were crossed with white eye flies. The table shows the results for the F1 and F2 generations. White eye females Wild type females White eye males Wild type males 50 F1 phenotypes (observed) F2 phenotypes (observed) F2 - expected phenotypes 50 60 60 60 60 What does the F1 tell you about the trait? Is the gene on an autosome or sex chromosome? What was the genotypes of each parent, male and female? What are the genotypes of the F1 flies? The F1 were crossed with each other and the phenotypes found in F2 are shown in the table above. Are these results consistent with the F1 and your theory of inheritance of this gene? Do a X2 test to see if the observed numbers are consistent with your theory.
