You have been working with a species of giant moths. You've found that Dark color (D) is dominant to Light color (d). You capture a moth in the wild (Moth X) bearing the dominant phenotype but want to don't know its genotype. Using 1 cross, how would you determine its genotype?

type P = n! (p)* (q)"* х! (n - х)! Practice Problem: You cross a true-breeding pea plant with red flowers to a true-breeding pea plant with white flowers. All of your offspring have red flowers. Which gene is dominant? Why? What is the genotype of your offspring? You then cross the offspring to each other. What ratio do you expect? Why? You count 1000 plants and look at their flowers. Your results are as follows: 740 red 260 white Does this follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Why or why not? DADT 2 MEA SUDI ND D LUT IONS
In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss. In the game, one way to get a blue rose is to cross two roses with the Rr Yy Ww ss genotype. A) What types of gametes and in what proportions will a Rr Yy Ww ss rose produce? B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear? Show your work. C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?
We have crossed true-breeding flies today. Wild type to mutant. Their phenotypes were wt and vg se. (Let’s not worry about males and females for now, just assume both genes are autosomal, which is normal in a Mendelian experiment). The results of a cross are phenotypes. I will be asking you for numbers or a ratio of phenotype numbers you expect to see in the offspring from this cross. To answer this, you’ll need to start with the genotypes of parents, then write their gametes, then write the offspring genotypes, then get the phenotypes based on them. Predict the results of this cross: In case both mutations are recessive; In case both mutations are dominant; In case vestigial wings are recessive and the sepia eyes are dominant.
A. In corn, yellow kernels (Y) are dominant to white kernels (y). If you cross two plants with the Yy genotype, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow kernels? B.What percentage of the offspring will have the same genotype as the parent plants? C.Say you're also interested in corn plant height where tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). You want to save some time and just cross your plants once. The P1 genotypes are YyTT and YYTt. Will you get any short plants with yellow kernels from this cross? Why or why not? D. If these traits, kernel color and height were linked, how would this affect your experimental outcomes? Would you expect the laws of Mendelian genetics to still apply? Why or why not ?
Your internship with Dr. Nefario at Gru Industries is going well so far, but a recent mission to obtain a shrink ray requires a special kind of Minion. You identify that the ideal Minion phenotypes for this mission are two eyes, pale yellow, and short. From your previous work, you’ve found that:Two-eyed (D) is completely dominant over one-eyed (d)Yellow (Y) is incompletely dominant with white (y)Tall (T) is completely dominant over short (t) a. The only reproductive individuals you have at the moment (it was surprise mission!) are a true breeding two-eyed, yellow, short Minion and a one heterozygous for each trait. What genotypic ratios would you expect for this crossassuming that each locus is on a different chromosome? What total proportion would you expect to be the desired phenotype for the mission? b. The mission has since been delayed due to lack of financial support, so you’ve got some time. All the individuals from the F1 cross above are now reproductive. Which genotypes would…
If you cross a mouse with Ff genotype with another mouse with Ff genotype, what is the probability of exactly 2 out of 6 of their offspring also having Ff genotype? Show your work.
You know that hamster unicorns (Phodopus monocerus) will be the next big pet craze and are investigating their genetics. In hamster unicorns, fur color is controlled by two loci (B and P). When you cross true-breeding black hamster unicorns with true-breeding pink hamster unicorns, all F1 offspring are black. Hamster unicorns that are B_P_ and B_pp are black, bbpp are pink, and bbP_ are baby blue. What type of epistasis is this? *genetics/bio question*
Let's do one more monohybrid cross. Suppose these is a gene in chickens that controls whether their eggs will be brown or white. Assuming that brown eggs (B) are dominant to white eggs (b), what are all of the phenotypes that would result from a cross between two chickens that are heterozygous for laying brown eggs? To get full credit for this question you will need to:a) List the parental genotypes and phenotypes.b) List the gametes produced by each parent.c) Do a punnet square. You can do this by inserting a 3x3 table. This tool can be found by clicking the waffle shaped icon under the bold "B" on the commands ribbon at the top of your answer box.d) List all of the possible genotype and phenotypes from the cross with numbers.
In certain species of flies, eye color is controlled by sim-·ple dominance by a single pair of alleles. A red-eyed fly was crossed with a white-eyed fly, both of whose parents had white eyes. All of their offspring (both female and male) had red eyes.a. Which is dominant, the allele for red eyesor the allele for white eyes?b. What is the genotype of the white-eyed parents?c. If the white-eyed parent was mated with one of the red-eyed offspring, what phenotypic ratio wouldyou expect regarding eye color?
You are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the “P” generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Assume the genes are not found on a sex chromosome. Indicate the body color alleles with B and b and the wing size alleles with N and n. a) The genotypes of the flies in the P generation are: Female: ______________ Male: ______________ b) The genotype of the flies in the F1 generation is: _____________ c) You now take an F1 female and cross her to a true-breeding black, wingless male. This male’s genotype is: ______________
In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. 9) You take an F1 male and an F1 female to generate F2 offspring. You take an F2 male with round and yellow seeds and mate them with an F2 female that has round green seeds. If these F2s produce 108 offspring, how many would be predicted to be green and wrinkled? a) 27 b) 3 c) 4 d) 7 e) 12
You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.) Body Color Wing Surface # of Individuals red smooth 102 yellow smooth 404 red crinkled 396 yellow crinkled…
