The recombinant offspring of the F2 generation were produced bycrossing over that occurreda. during spermatogenesis in the P generation males.b. during oogenesis in the P generation females.c. during spermatogenesis in the F1 males.d. during oogenesis in the F1 females.
[Answer the multiple-choice questions based on the following experiment:P generation: True-breeding flies with red eyes and long wings werecrossed to flies with white eyes and miniature wings. All F1 offspringhad red eyes and long wings.The F1 female flies were then crossed to males with white eyes and miniaturewings. The following results were obtained for the F2 generation:129 red eyes, long wings133 white eyes, miniature wings71 red eyes, miniature wings67 white eyes, long wings]

- Two normal-looking fruit flies were crossed, and, in the progeny, there were 202 females and 98 males.a. What is unusual about this result?b. Provide a genetic explanation for this anomaly.c. Provide a test of your hypothesis.arrow_forwardA. Give 7 genes located on X chromosomes and provide 2 protein products of each gene. B. Give 4 genes located on Y chromosomes and provide 2 protein products of each gene.arrow_forwardIn mice, the Sry gene is located on the Y chromosome very close to one of the pseudoautosomal regions that pairs with the X chromosome during male meiosis. Given this information, propose a model to explain the generation of unusual males who have two X chromosomes (with an Sry-containing piece of the Y chromosome attached to one X chromosome).arrow_forward
- You find a person that has a new allele that is not found in DNA samples taken from skin cells of the mother or the father, suggesting that the mutation arose during the formation of the gametes that formed this person. Is it more likely that the mutation was present in the sperm or the egg that formed this person and why do you believe this is the case?”arrow_forwardAn error occurred during meiotic cell division, and a human egg has an extra copy of chromosome 21. That egg was fertilized by a normal sperm to create an embryo. This would lead to an individual A) who was tetraploid B) who would be normal in chromosomal number C) who had trisomy D) who was triploidarrow_forwardWhich is NOT a way that deletions can cause abnormal phenotypes? A. Haploinsufficient genes can result because too much gene product is produced. B. Recessive mutations may be expressed if the wild-type allele is deleted, a phenomenon called pseudodominance. C. If the centromere is deleted, then the whole chromosome could be lost during cell division. D. All of the above 1 pointsarrow_forward
- Humans with aneuploidy who survive usually have incorrect numbersof chromosome 13, 18, or 21 or the sex chromosomes.

You cross them together and the resulting diploid produces arginine. If producing arginine is the wild type phenotype, what can you definitively conclude? A.The haploid strains have identical mutations in the same genes. B.The haploid strains have identical mutations in different genes. C.The haploid strains have mutations in different genes. D.The haploid strains have mutations in the same gene. E.The haploid strains must belong to the complementation group encoding the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway.arrow_forwardWhich statement about homologous chromosomes is FALSE? Select one: a. They contain the same genes in the same places along the length of the chromosome b. One member of the homologous pair came from your mother, the other from your father c. For a particular gene, one member of the pair may have one allele, while the other has a different allele d. They are joined together at the centromere as the two halves of the typical X-shaped chromosomearrow_forward
