1. A homozygous blue-eyed mouse with short whiskers mates with a homozygous brown-eyed mouse with long whiskers. All of their offspring have brown eyes and short whiskers. Which alleles are dominant? 2. A homozygous five-clawed cat is crossed with a homozygous six- clawed cat and all of the kittens have six claws. Which allele is dominant? 3. In humans, the five-fingered condition is recessive to the six-fingered condition. Yet, most people have five fingers. Explain how this can happen.

. The human IGF2 gene is autosomal and maternallyimprinted. Copies of the gene received from themother are not expressed, but copies received fromthe father are expressed. You have found two allelesof this gene that encode two different forms of theIGF2 protein distinguishable by gel electrophoresis.One allele encodes a 60K (Kilodalton) blood protein;the other allele encodes a 50K blood protein. In ananalysis of blood proteins from a couple named Billand Joan, you find only the 60K protein in Joan’sblood and only the 50K protein in Bill’s blood. Youthen look at their children: Jill is producing only the50K protein, while Bill Jr. is producing only the 60Kprotein.a. With these data alone, what can you say about theIGF2 genotype of Bill Sr. and Joan?b. Bill Jr. and a woman named Sara have two children, Pat and Tim. Pat produces only the 60K protein and Tim produces only the 50K protein. Withthe accumulated data, what can you now say aboutthe genotypes of Joan and Bill Sr.?
Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?
Attempt 2 Suppose a geneticist is using a three-point testeross to map three linked Drosophila recessive mutations called f, w, and b, where fis associated with abnormally fast movement, w is associated with wavy movement pattern, and b is associated with broad wings. The geneticist first crosses homozygous broad flies to homozygous fast, wavy flies. Next, he testerosses the Fi progeny to fast, wavy, and broad parents and obtains the results in the table. Fi testcross progeny phenotype Number broad 627 fast, wavy 627 wavy 231 fast, broad 207 fast 207 wavy, broad fast, wavy, broad 229 wild type Based on this data, select the order of the three genes. bfw O fb w Owfh

F1 female Drosophila heterozygous for cinnabar eye (cn), vestigial wings (vg) and roof wings (rf) genes were test crossed with males homozygous for all three traits. The following result were obtained. 382 cinnabar, vestigial 401 roof 3 cinnabar 4 roof, vestigial 59 cinnabar, roof, vestigial 67 wild 44 cinnabar, roof 40 vestigial The chromosomal interference is equal to? 0.24 0.32 0.42 0.58 0.49
Please help and explain
F1 hybrids between two species of cotton, Gossypium barbadenseand Gossypium hirsutum, are very vigorous plants. However, F1crosses produce many seeds that do not germinate and a high percentageof very weak F2 offspring. Suggest two reasons for theseobservations.
