1. The mutant strain maroon-like has an X-linked mutant allele (X") that results in deep maroon-colored eyed in homozygous females and hemizygous males. To prove to a skeptical friend that this trait is in fact X-linked you set up a reciprocal cross against the wild type. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic frequencies of each half of this crossing experiment? 2. What is the significance of reciprocal crossing?
