Based on the data, which of the following best supports the claim that this trait exhibits an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern? The results of the cross show that there were no heterozygous dominant females. The chi-square value shows that these results are not typical of this type of cross. The results of the cross show that fewer males exhibited the recessive trait than females. The chi-square value shows that these results are typical of this type of cross. The results of the cross show that approximately % of the offspring exhibited the dominant phenotype, while approximately ¼ of the offspring exhibited the recessive phenotype. The chi-square value shows that these results are typical of this type of cross. The results of the cross show that approximately ½ of the offspring exhibited the dominant phenotype, while approximately ½ of the offspring exhibited the recessive phenotype. The chi-square value shows that these results are not typical of this type of cross.

A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced diskshaped fruits (see the accompanying illustration) wascrossed with a pure-breeding strain having long fruits.The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the followingproportions:Longlong 32 sphere 178 disk 270Sphere DiskPropose an explanation for these results, and showthe genotypes of the P, F1, and F2 generations.
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andnormal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings.The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wildtype, 778; black vestigial, 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial,162. What is the recombination frequency between these genesfor body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the resultsof the experiment in Figure 15.9?

In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive dp allele ofthe dumpy gene produces short, curved wings, whilethe autosomal recessive allele bw of the brown genecauses brown eyes.

In a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.
As a Drosophila research geneticist, you keep stocksof flies of specific genotypes. You have a fly that hasnormal wings (dominant phenotype). Flies with shortwings are homozygous for a recessive allele of thewing-length gene. You need to know if this fly withnormal wings is pure-breeding or heterozygous forthe wing-length trait. What cross would you do todetermine the genotype, and what results would youexpect for each possible genotype?

In humans, a rare dominant disorder known as nail-patella syndromecauses abnormalities in the fingernails, toenails, and kneecaps.Researchers have examined family pedigrees with regard to thisdisorder and have also examined the blood types of individualswithin each pedigree. (A description of blood genotypes is foundin Chapter 4.) In the following pedigree, individuals affected withnail-patella disorder are shown with filled symbols. The genotypeof each individual with regard to ABO blood type is also shown.Does this pedigree suggest any linkage between the gene thatcauses nail-patella syndrome and the gene that causes blood type?
