Summary Introduction
To determine: The phenotype of the offspring when a pig with 15cm tail is crossed with a pig having 30 cm tail.
Introduction: If the genes are said to be homozygous, they have identical alleles that are either dominant or recessive. If the genes are said to be heterozygotes, they have non-identical alleles—one being dominant and other being recessive allele.

In c. elegans, genetics model organism, movement problems (unc) and small body size (sma) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (unc+ and sma+). A worm homozygous for movement problems and small body is crossed with a worm homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal movement and normal body size. The F1 are then crossed with worms that have movement problems and small body size in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross is:
Normal movement, normal body size 210
Movement problems, normal body size 9
Normal movement, small body size 11
Movement problems, small body size 193
a)From the test cross results, can you tell if the two genes are on the same chromosome or not? Explain your reasoning.
b)What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for round eyes and white body were located on different chromosomes?
(please explain hot to get to these conclusions)
In Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits.
Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

Wing shape (A/a) and body color (B/b) in Drosophila are controlled by two independently assorting gene pairs. Flies with curved wings and gray body were crossed with each other and produced the following offspring:
36 curved wings, gray body
12 curved wings, black body
18 straight wings, gray body
6 straight wings, black body
Questions:
1. Describe the interactions that will explain the observed phenotypic ratio. Indicate the phenotype specified by each allele, and the interaction(s) between the alleles.

In the pedigree, squares represent males and circles represent females. Shaded symbols represent an individual with normal wing shape.
