Question

In fruit flies, Yellow body (E) is dominant to dark body (e). On a different
chromosome, Long antenna (L) is dominant to short antenna (I). You take flies which
have Yellow bodies and Long antennae and cross them to each other. You get the
following offspring
87 Yellow Body, Long antenna
27 Yellow Body, Short antenna
29 Dark Body, Long Antenna
10 Dark body, Short Antenna.
Based on this, what are the genotypes of the parents?
ee: LI and EE; LI
Ee: Il and Ee: LI
Ee: LI and EE:11
Ee: Ll and Ee: LI
Ee: LI and EE: LI

In mice a gene called Small Eye (Se) controls the size of the eye.
Mice that are SeSe have normal size eyes, mice that are Sese have small eyes and
mice that are sese have no eyes. Another gene on a different chromosome controls
eye color. The dominant allele B gives brown eyes, while the recessive allele b gives
blue eyes.
You cross a mouse that is Sese: Bb to one which is Sese bb. What is the chance that
they have offspring which have blue eyes?

Expert Solution

Step 1

According to guideline we can answer only the first question. The second question is completely a separate one and for this reason it should be uploaded separately.

The alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous chromosome with contrasting characteristics.

In case of diploid (2n) organisms, a particular gene has 2 alleles, one is dominant and another is recessive in nature. According to the law of independent assortment the alleles will be segregated independently during the gamete formation by meiosis.
