In pigs, the dominant C allele produces a curly tail. c/c homozygotes have straight tails. The recessive w allele produces white hair, whereas the W allele produces brown hair. The C and W genes (loci) are on the same chromosome. A C W / c w heterozygote (curly, brown) is test crossed to a c w / c w (straight, white) homozygote multiple times. They produce a total of 100 progeny, of which 20 have curly tails and white hair. What is the distance between the C and W loci, in map units? A.10 B. 20 C. 30 D.40

Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross. Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
Summer squash color is determined by the interaction of more than one gene. The presence of CC or Cc allele combinations produces a squash that is white in color, and the C allele is epistatic to the G allele. The presence of GG or Gg produces a squash that is yellow in color, and ccgg produces a squash that is green. After two fully heterozygous squash are crossed. Give the phenotypes, and frequency of occurrence, of the F2 offspring
In guinea pigs, a black coat (B) is dominant over a white coat (b), and straight hair (S) is dominant over curly hair (s). The genes for coat color and type of hair are located on different chromosomes. A heterozygous, black, and straight hair guinea pig (BbSs) was test crossed. A guinea pig heterozygous for both traits mated with a homozygous recessive guinea pig. What is the probability of having offspring with at least one dominant trait? Select one: a. 0.50 b. 0.00 c. 0.25 d. 0.75 e. 1.0
In tomatoes, red fruit color (R) is dominant over yellow fruit color (r). Do the following crosses: Rr x rr Rr x RR rr x RR Rr x Rr rr x Rr rr x rr Show your Punnett square for each cross. For each cross also show the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pp homozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select the statements below that are TRUE. Select 2 correct answer(s) The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 CM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 CM. The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are p S and Ps. The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are PS and p s.
In corn, the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) andrust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of making routinecrosses, a breeder noticed that one T/t ; R/r plant gaveunusual results in a testcross with the double-recessivepollen parent t/t ; r/r. The results wereProgeny: T/t ; R/r 98t/ t ; r/r 104T/t ; r/r 3t/t ; R/r 5Corncobs: Only about half as many seeds as usuala. What key features of the data are different from theexpected results?b. State a concise hypothesis that explains the results.c. Show genotypes of parents and progeny.d. Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of alleleson the chromosomes.e. Explain the origin of the two classes of progenyhaving three and five members.
In mice, the presence of AA alleles give rise to the agouti fur color, AAY gives rise to a yellow fur color, and AYAY is lethal, causing mice to die before birth. The B allele results in pigment formation and is dominant over the b allele. The bb genotype results in no pigment formation and gives an albino fur color irrespectively of the presence of the AA or AAY alleles. In the following cross between a yellow and agouti mice, what would be the expected proportion of agouti fur mice among the live offspring? AAY Bb X AA Bb 1/2 1/4 3/8 1/3 3/4
Parakeets can have white, blue, green or yellow feathers. Feather color in parakeets is determined by two different genes Y and B. YYBB, YYBb, YyBB, or YyBb is green; yyBB or yyBb is blue; YYbb or Yybb is yellow; and yybb is white. A green parakeet with genotype YYBB is crossed with a white parakeet. Which of the following would be expected? green offspring yellow offspring blue offspring A and B A, B, and C
In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain.
In mice, the A allele is dominant for yellow coat color, but AA is lethal. The little a allele gives agouti coat color. Also, CC or Cc is normal, but cc is albino, which is of course epistatic to the A gene, since albino mice are neither yellow nor agouti colored. The cross is AaCc to Aacc. What fractions of mice will you get? (Remember there are 3 phenotypes possible, yellow, agouti, or albino. And you never see dead mice, so you are counting only live progeny). SHOW WORK for credit.
The ABO blood group in humans is controlled by a single locus with three different alleles. Homozygosity for IA produces type A blood. Homozygosity for IB produces type B blood. Homozygosity for IO produces type O blood. Type AB blood is produced by the genotype IA/IB. IO is recessive to IA and IB; thus, IA/IO gives type A blood and IB/IO gives type B blood. In the United States, the allele frequencies for the ABO alleles are given below. The Rh factor in blood typing also has multiple alleles, but the alleles can be classified into two types, positive and negative. Rh+ is dominant over Rh−. The allele frequencies of these alleles are also indicated below. The MN blood antigen trait is controlled by two codominant alleles at a single locus. Type M individuals are homozygous for the M allele, type MN individuals are heterozygous, and type N individuals are homozygous for the N allele (codominant). In the United States, the allele frequencies for this blood group are also indicated…
In a species of the cat family, eye color can be gray, blue, green, or brown, and each trait is true breeding. In separate crosses involving homozygous parents, the following data were obtained: Cross P1 F1 F2 A green * gray all green 3/4 green: 1/4 gray B green * brown all green 3/4 green: 1/4 brown C gray * brown all green 9/16 green: 3/16 brown 3/16 gray: 1/16 blue (a) Analyze the data. How many genes are involved? Define gene symbols and indicate which genotypes yield each phenotype. (b) In a cross between a gray-eyed cat and one of unknown genotype and phenotype, the F1 generation was not observed. However, the F2 resulted in the same F2 ratio as in cross C. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the unknown P1 and F1 cats.
