Chapter 18, Problem 22P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained from the pure breeding line of a sinistral hermaphrodite with the males of pure breeding dextral line.

Introduction:

The Punnett square is the tool used in genetics to represent the gametes and the progeny that will be obtained from the cross of the parental gametes. The square is expressed as gametes on one side, and the squares are filled with the possible progeny.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The genotypic expression for the homozygous dextral snails can be taken as “S+S+”, and the genotypic composition of the homozygous hermaphrodite sinistral snails can be taken as “S-S-“. When a pure breeding line of the snails Limnaea that are sinistral are crossed with the pure breeding dextral snails the resultant progeny will be as follows:


Gametes

S+S-

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained from the pure breeding line of dextral hermaphrodite with the males of pure breeding sinistral line.

Introduction:

The genotype is the genetic constitution of the organism, while the phenotype is the external characters visible in an organism. The alleles are the contrasting forms of a gene, and one of them is dominant and other is recessive.

Explanation of Solution

The genotypic expression for the homozygous hermaphrodite dextral snails can be taken as “S+S+” and the genotypic composition of the homozygous sinistral male snails can be taken as “S-S-“. When a pure dextral hermaphrodite is crossed with the male pure sinistral line the progeny obtained will be as follows:

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The resulting progeny from the self-cross made between the dextral and sinistral snails.

Introduction:

The alleles are inherited from the parents into the offspring. The genotypic ratio represents the alleles that constitute the offspring, while the phenotypic ratio represents the external features of the offsprings.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The progeny obtained from either of the crosses that is the cross between dextral hermaphrodite and sinistral male or sinistral hermaphrodite and dextral male is the same that is heterozygous dextral. Hence the self-cross of the heterozygous dextral progeny are as follows:


Gametes

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The resulting progeny that will be obtained in the F3 generation from the self-cross of the dextral and sinistral snails.

Introduction:

The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. Therefore the dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive phenotype is only expressed under homozygous condition.

Explanation of Solution

The resulting F2 generation has homozygous sinistral snails with the genotype “S-S-“. After self-crossing the F2 progeny, the organisms obtained will be of the following genotype:

Termites have a haplo-diploid sex determination system where females develop from a fertilized egg (they are diploid, having one allele from the female cueen and one allele from the male), and males develop from unfertilized eggs (they are haploid, having only one allele from the queen). Assuming that the female parent (queen) is heterozygous for a particular gene, what is the probability that a female offspring will inherit the recessive allele from her mother? What is the probability that a male offspring will inherit a recessive allele from his mother? O A. The probability that a daughter will inherit a recessive allele from her mother is 50%; the probability that a son will inherit a recessive allele from his mather is 50%. OB. Ihe probobility that a daughter will inherit a recessive allele from her mother is 0%; the probability that a son will inherit a recessive allele from his mother is 100%. O C. The probability that a daughter will inherit a recessive allele from her mother is…
