Chapter 3, Problem 52P
Using each of the seven coat color genes discussed in the text (listed in Table 3.3), propose a possible genotype for each of the three Labrador retrievers in Fig. 3.12a. Keep in mind that the Labrador retrievers are pure-breeding for uniformly colored coats without spots or eye masks. Explain any ambiguities in your genotype assignment.

Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate.
What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2?
Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis.
Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype.

You are mapping three linked loci in Drosophila melanogaster (the common laboratory fruit fly). You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and
clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance.
You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results:
359 wild-type
361 apricot, bristle, clipped
89 bristle, clipped
91 apricot
42 apricot, bristle
38 clipped
9 apricot, clipped
11 bristle
Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive
to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C).
Then determine if each gamete is recombinant (R) or nonrecombinant (R) for each pair of alleles (that is, for each genetic interval).

A geneticist examines an ear of corn in which most kernels are yellow, but he finds a few kernels with purple spots, as shown here. Give a possible explanation for the appearance of the purple spots in these otherwise yellow kernels, accounting for the different sizes of the spots.

- Two groups of geneticists, in California and in Chile, begin work to develop a linkage map of the medfly. They both independently find that the loci for body color (B = black, b = gray) and eye shape (R = round, r = star) are linked 28 m.u. apart. They send strains to each other and perform crosses; a summary of all their findings is shown here:a. Provide a genetic hypothesis that explains the three sets of testcross results. b. Draw the key chromosomal features of meiosis in the F1 from a cross of the Californian and Chilean lines.arrow_forwardThe wild-type (normal) fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has straight wings and long bristles. Mutant strains have been isolated that have either curled wings or short bristles. The genes representing these two mutant traits are located on separate chromosomes.
