Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 7PDQ
In Lymnaea, what results would you expect in a cross between a Dd dextrally coiled and a Dd sinistrally coiled snail, assuming cross-fertilization occurs as shown in Figure 9.11? What results would occur if the Dd dextral produced only eggs and the Dd sinistral produced only sperm?
FIGURE 9.11 Inheritance of coiling in the snail Lymnaea peregra. Coiling is either dextral (right-handed) or sinistral (left-handed). A maternal effect is evident in generations II and III, where the genotype of the maternal parent rather than the offspring’s own genotype, controls the

Which of the following is an accurate model and description of anaphase IIII in Cape parrots?
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…

This outcomeis always true regardless of whether the offspring themselves are bcd+/bcd or bcd/bcd. Some other maternaleffect lethal mutations are different, in that the mutantphenotype can be “rescued” by introducing a wild-typeallele of the gene from the father. In other words, forsuch rescuable maternal-effect lethals, mut+/mut animals are normal, whereas mut/mut animals have the mutant defect. Explain the difference between rescuableand nonrescuable maternal-effect lethal mutations.arrow_forward
