In a cross between a white-eyed female (ww) and a red-eyed male (w+Y), nearly all the progeny were either red-eyed females (w+w) or white-eyed males (wY). However, about 1 in every 2000 F1 flies had an "exceptional phenotype" and was either a white-eyed female or red-eyed male. How did Bridges explain this unexpected result?
A) Crossing over
B) Incomplete cytokinesis
C) Incorrect synapsis
D) Nondisjunction
E) Pseudoautosomal region
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus.
a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes?
b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny?
c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
a)
Explain why when a chiasma is formed, only 50% of the meiotic products will be of
recombinant type.
