A. This is a Gruffalo (Donaldson, J, 1999, Puffin Books). It is a terrifying lookinganimal who is the biggest, baddest creature in the whole dark wood. Other animalsare very afraid of it, as it is a top predator. Gruffalos release lots of olfactorychemicals marking them as predators that are smelled by other animals, and thesechemicals vary from gruffalo to gruffalo depending on their genotypes (specificgenes and related alleles are not known, just know that gruffalos vary for geneticreasons). There is variation in the olfactory chemicals released when gruffalos are indifferent types of forests (i.e. not just deep darks woods), where some gruffalosincrease their olfactory chemicals, and some decrease.Draw the associated reaction norms for 4 genotypes of gruffalo in two differentforest environments, and name the mechanism acting hereAdditionally, all gruffalos are tricked by little brown mice, where gruffalos think theyare prey animals when in the presence of little brown mice (who's favourite food isGruffalo crumble). Draw the associated reaction norm for the same 4 genotypes ofgruffalo in environments with and without mice and name the mechanism actinghere

Linkage Mapping Using a Trihybrid Testcross in Fruit Flies Remember the black, purple, and vestigial genes from Exercise 1? Now you're going to have to construct a map of the same region from trihybrid testcross data. The new map should be similar to the one from Exercise 1, but it won't be identical because we're starting with a new, independent data set. BLACK PURPLE VESTIGIAL TRIHYBRID TESTCROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/bl*pu*/pu+vg+/vg+ with a pure-breeding black, purple, vestigial male (bl/bl;pu/pu vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl/bliput/pu;vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all trihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 trihybrid females (bl/bl:put/pu;vg+/vg) with tester males, which are black, purple, vestigial (bl/bl;pu/pu;vg/vg). The offspring of this trihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Wild-type Black, purple, vestigial Vestigial Black, purple Purple, vestigial Black Purple Black, vestigial bl pu vg bl pu…

Problem 1: 11.2 10.9 garnet eyes M A new gene is being investigated in fruit flies. The recessive allele of this gene (t) causes the flies' feet to grow tiny tapdance shoes, while the dominant allele (t*) permits wild-type feet to develop. Preliminary studies indicate that this new gene is located on the X-chromosome. You decided to perform a two-point testcross to determine its position relative to the well-established crossveinless wings gene (cv). You cross a female heterozygous for both genes with a testcross male fly and obtain the male offspring results shown in table 1, below. Using this information, answer the following questions: # male offspring 13 405 401 11 forked bristles a) is the original…

In c. elegans, genetics model organism, movement problems (unc) and small body size (sma) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (unc+ and sma+). A worm homozygous for movement problems and small body is crossed with a worm homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal movement and normal body size. The F1 are then crossed with worms that have movement problems and small body size in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross is: Normal movement, normal body size 210 Movement problems, normal body size 9 Normal movement, small body size 11 Movement problems, small body size 193 a)From the test cross results, can you tell if the two genes are on the same chromosome or not? Explain your reasoning. b)What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for round eyes and white body were located on different chromosomes?

Albinism, caused by a mutational disruption in melanin (skin pigment) production, has been observed in many species, including humans. In 1991, and again recently in 2017, the only documented observations of an albino humpback whale (named “Migaloo”) were observed near New South Wales. Recently, Polanowski and coworkers (Polanowski, A., S. Robinson-Laverick, and D. Paton. (2012). Journal of Heredity 103:130–133) studied the genetics of humpback whales from the east coast of Australia, including Migaloo. (a) Do you think that Migaloo’s albinism is more likely caused by a dominant or recessive mutation? Explain your reasoning. (b) What data would be helpful in determining the answer to part (a)?
