In squirrels, bushy tail (B) is dominant to smooth tail (b), and gray coat (G) is dominant to brown coat (g). These two loci are linked. Pure-breeding gray, smooth-tailed squirrels were mated to pure-breeding brown, bushy-tailed squirrels. The F1 were testcrossed. Testcross progeny consisted of 278 gray, smooth-tailed, 21 gray, bushy-tailed, 306 brown, bushy-tailed, and 30 brown, smooth-tailed squirrels. Calculate the map distance between these two genes in centimorgans. Round your answer properly to 2 decimal digits. Type in only the numerical value for your map distance without indicating the units.

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. What will be the phenotypic ratios in the F2? 2. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? 3. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, non-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? 4. In cats, curled ears (Cu) result from an allele that is dominant over an allele for normal ears (cu). Black color results from an independently assorting allele (G) that is dominant over an allele for gray (g). A gray cat homozygous for curled ears is mated with a homozygous black cat with normal ears. All the F1…
In the garden pea, orange pods (o) are recessive to green pods (+), and sensitivityto pea mosaic virus (v) is recessive to resistance to the virus (+). A plant withorange pods and sensitivity to the virus was crossed to a true-breeding plant withgreen pods and resistance to the virus. The F1 progeny were then test-crossed toplants with orange pods and sensitivity to the virus with the following results:160 orange pods, virus sensitive 36 orange pods, virus resistant165 green pods, virus resistant 39 green pods, virus sensitive 1. What are the gamete frequencies of the recombinants and non-recombinants? 2. What are the expected frequencies of the recombinant and non-recombinantgenotypes?
In a cross between a black and a white cat, all members of the Fi generation are black. The F2 generation is made up of approximately 3/4 black and 1/4 white cat. (i) Diagram this cross, showing the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents, F, and F2 generations. What is the probability that the first two offspring will be homozygous and the third is white if an Ficat is test crossed?

A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. a. What are the phenotypic ratios in the F2? b. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? c.

Wolves are observed having Grey fur (G) dominant to Black fur (g), Blue eyes (B) dominant to Yellow eyes (b). In the P1 generation, wolves GGbb and ggBB are crossed:What gametes can be produced by a wolf from the F1 generation? Wolves are observed having Grey fur (G) dominant to Black fur (g), Blue eyes (B) dominant to Yellow eyes (b). In the P1 generation, wolves GGbb and ggBB are crossed: You cross 2 wolves from the F1 generation to make the F2 generation. What are the odds an F2 wolf will have the ggbb genotype?
A female fruit fly with vermilion eyes and normal wings is crossed with a male with normal red eyes and cut wings. The F₁ progeny consist of females with red eyes and normal wings, and males with vermilion eyes and normal wings. When the F₁ progeny are interbred, the F2 consists of two types of females-vermilion eyes, normal wings (1/2) and red eyes, normal wings (1/2), and two types of males- vermilion eyes, normal wings (1/2) and red eyes, cut wings (1/2). Are the genes for eye colour and wing type X-linked or autosomal? Both genes are X-linked. The eye-colour gene is X-linked and the wing-type gene is autosomal. The eye-colour gene is autosomal and the wing-type gene is X-linked. Both genes are autosomal. More than one of the choices is consistent with the data.
In kangaroos, pouched kangaroos (P) are dominant over pouchless kangaroos (p) and bushy tails (B) are dominant over skinny tails (b). You have a pouched, kangaroo with bushy tail of unknown genotype so you decide to perform a testcross. In the progeny of the test cross, you observe that 100% of the kangaroos have pouches, but 50% of the kangaroos have bushy tails and 50% of the kangaroos have skinny tails. Based on this result, what is the genotype of the pouched, kangaroo with bushy tail? PPBB PPBb PPbb PpBB PpBb Ppbb ppbb

The phenotype of spotting in dogs (A) is dominant to no spots (a). When 2 heterozygous spotted dogs are crossed (Aa X Aa), the outcome is shown below: 2/3 Spots 1/3 No Spots What is the best explanation for this outcome, and what are the genotypes of spotted and non-spotted offspring?
Petunia flower color is governed by two alleles, but neither allele is truly dominant over the other. Petunias with the genotype RR are red-flowered, those that are heterozygous (RW) are pink, while those with the (WW) genotype have white flowers. This is an example of incomplete dominance. a. If a white-flowered plant is crossed with a red-flowered plant, what is the genotypic ratio of the F1. b. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1. c. If two of the F1 offspring were crossed, what phenotypes would appear in the F2?. d. What would be the genotypic ratio in the F2 generation?
