Two pea plants that are true-breeding for recessive white flowers are mated and their offspring analyzed. Which of the following statements about this situation is true?
Group of answer choices
A)The offspring represent the P generation.
B)The gametes produced by the offspring will carry only one allele for this gene.
C)Both parents are referred to as heterozygotes.
D)Half of the offspring will be true-breeding for white flowers.
Bees have a haplodiploid sex determination. The recessive allele ivory causes bees to have white eyes. A white-eyed female is mated to a wild-type male. An F1 female is mated to a white-eyed male and some of her eggs are fertilized. She lays eggs after the mating. What are possible phenotypes of the offspring?
i) wildtype males ii) wildtype females iii) white-eyed males iv) white-eyed females
Group of answer choices
A. only i and iii are possible oucomes
B. only i and ii are possible oucomes
C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes
D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes
E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomes
Females from a pure-breeding curly-winged strain are mated with males from a pure-breeding straight-winged (wild-type) strain. The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curly wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation?
Explain your answer and why the other options do not qualify,
A) Curly wings is a recessive trait.
B) The dominant curly wing allele is also a recessive lethal.
C) Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles.
D) Two interacting genes determine wing shape.
E) All of the hybrid F 1 flies had straight wings.

- Below is a pedigree of a human blinding disease. Use this pedigree to answer the following questions. If this is disease has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, what is the probability that if individuals IV-5 and III-5 had and offspring it would exhibit the disease? a) 25% b) 33% c) 11% d) 17% e) 6%arrow_forwardDr. Disney has been raising exotic fruit flies for decades. Recently, he discovered a strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have baby blue eyes that he designates as bb. He also has another strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have pink wings that are designated as pw. He is able to establish flies that are homozygous for both mutant traits.He mates these two strains with each other. Dr. Disney then takes phenotypically wild- type females from this cross and mates them with double recessive males. In the resulting testcross progeny, he observes 500 flies that are of the following makeup:41 with baby blue eyes and pink wings207 with baby blue eyes only210 with pink wings only42 with wild-type phenotype14. Assuming the wild-type alleles for these two genes are b+ and pw+, what is the correct testcross of the F1 flies?A) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b pw/b pwB) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b pw+/b+ pwC) b+ pw/b pw+ ⋅ b pw/b pwD) b+ pw/b pw+ ⋅ b+ pw+/b pwE) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b+ pw/b…arrow_forwardIn human blood chemistry, the I gene directly determines ABO blood antigens and the H gene takes the H-substance precursor and makes the H-substance.

- Assume that right-handedness (R) is genetically dominant over left-handedness (r) in humans, and that brown eyes (B) are genetically dominant over blue (b). A right-handed, blue-eyed man marries a right-handed, brown-eyed woman. Their two children are (1) right handed, blue eyed and (2) left handed, brown eyed. The man marries again, and this time the woman is right handed and brown eyed. They have 10 children, all right handed and brown eyed. What are the probable genotypes of the man and his two wives?arrow_forwardA homozygous red pigmented female beetle (bb) is bred with a black pigmented male of unknown genotype. It’s unknown if the male homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the pigment trait. The color of their offspring will help identify the genotype of the male. What do you call this method used to determine the genotype of the male beetle? Explain your answer by using Punnett square to show possible offspring genotypes.arrow_forwardIn cattle, the gene for hornless (H) is dominant to the gene for horned (h), the gene for black (B) is dominant to that of red (b), and the gene for white face, or Hereford spotting, (S) is dominant to that for solid color (s). A cow (female) that is heterozygous for all traits is inseminated by a bull (male) of the genotype bbhhSs. What is the probability of obtaining a calf that is a black, hornless bull with Hereford spotting?arrow_forward

To learn this information, she testcrosses him with a red female (bb). a) If the black male is BB, what kind of gamete (sperm) can he produce? b) If the red female is bb, what kind of gamete (eggs) can she produce? c) If the black male is Bb, what kind(s) of gametes (sperm) can he produce? d) If any of the puppies are red, what is the father's genotype?arrow_forwardSex-specific imprinting distinguishes male and female genomes and is inherited in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. Such imprints are established in the germline during gametogenesis and remain intact throughout embryonic and postnatal development.
