A mapping experiment in strawberries shows that the genes for color and plant height are separated by 16cM. In a cross between a heterozygous plant (CcHh) and a homozygous recessive plant, what percent of offspring would inherit a chromosome carrying cH from the heterozygous parent....
1. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in repulsion? _________________
2. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in coupling? _________________
n each case where Mendel crossed (i.e., mated) two different true-breeding plants as parents, the offspring displayed only one of the two traits seen in the parents. For instance, a cross between a true-breeding “tall” plant and a true-breeding “short” plant produced offspring that were all “tall.” This observation supports which principle of genetics?
a.
The law of segregation
b.
The law of independent assortment
c.
Dominance and recessiveness
d.
Allele anomaly
e.
Gene linkage

- One of the autosomal loci controlling eye color in fruit flies has two alleles: one for brown eyes and the other for red eyes. Fruit flies from a true-breeding line with brown eyes were crossed with flies from a true-breeding line with red eyes. The F1 flies had red eyes. What conclusion can be drawn from this experiment? (a) these alleles underwent independent assortment (b) these alleles underwent segregation (c) these genes are X-linked (d) the allele for red eyes is dominant to the allele for brown eyes (e) all the preceding are truearrow_forwardBlack eye (B) is dominant over brown eye (b). A man that is a homozygous dominant black-eyed marries a woman that is a heterozygous black-eyed. The offspring resulted to 50% homozygous black and 50% heterozygous black. If one of their heterozygous children marries another heterozygous partner. Regardless of its gender, what are the genotypes of their children? a. 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb b. 50% BB, 25% Bb, 25% bb c. 25% BB, 25% Bb, 50% bb d. 0% BB, 75% Bb, 25% bb In Law of Codominance, a pure line dominant trait crossed with a recessive trait will result to the appearance of both dominant and recessive trait in the offspring. What is the percentage of having a red-haired offspring if the parental genotype is both a heterozygous roan haired? Red hair is a dominant trait and white hair is a recessive trait. a. 100% b. 75% c. 50% d. 25% e. 0%arrow_forwardIn 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?arrow_forward
- Among Native Americans, two types of earwax (cerumen) are seen, dry and sticky. A geneticist studied theinheritance of this trait by observing the types of offspring produced by different kinds of matings. Heobserved the following numbers:OffspringParents Number of mating pairs Sticky DrySticky × sticky 10 32 6Sticky × dry 8 21 9Dry × dry 12 0 42a. How is earwax type inherited?b. Why are no 3:1 or 1:1 ratios present in the datashown in the chart?arrow_forwardastigmatism and non-red hair are produced by a different pair of completely dominant genes. Hence, astigmatic persons whose hair is not red are A-B- How often in families of four children where the parents are both heterozygous for astigmatism and heterozygous Tor non for non red hair would you expet 2 astigmatic red haired girls and 2 pon astigmatic brown haired boys? ANSWERarrow_forwardA heterozygous individual has_____ for a trait being studied. a. the same allele on both homologous chromosomes b. two different alleles of a gene c. a haploid condition, in genetic termsarrow_forward
- Assume for a moment that you are working in a genetics lab with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism for genetic research. You want to determine whether a newly found Drosophila characteristic is dominant or recessive.a. Explain how you would construct such a cross, as well as the expected outcomes that would indicate dominance.b. Why would working with Drosophila be easier than working with humans?arrow_forwardAn individual has the genotype Aa Bb Cc and makes an abnormalgamete with the genotype AaBc. Does this gamete violate the lawof independent assortment or the law of segregation (or both)?Explain your answer.arrow_forward. Male house cats are either black or orange; females areblack, orange, or calico.a. If these coat-color phenotypes are governed by a sexlinked gene, how can these observations be explained?b. Using appropriate symbols, determine the phenotypes expected in the progeny of a cross between anorange female and a black male.c. Half the females produced by a certain kind of matingare calico, and half are black; half the males are orange,and half are black. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?d. Another kind of mating produces progeny in thefollowing proportions: one-fourth orange males, onefourth orange females, one-fourth black males, and onefourth calico females. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?arrow_forward
- D In fava bean plant the seed color can be coded by two alleles, green (G) which is dominant and purple (g) which is recessive. A gardening hobbyist performed a cross between 2 true-breeding lines P1 and P2 that respectively have green and purple seeds. Answer the following questions in regard to the hobbyist experiment. 1) What are the genotypes of the parental lines A and B? what are the genotypes of the gametes of each parent? 2)What is the phenotype and genotype of the F1 generation of the cross? 3) What are the proportions of the genotypes of the F2 generation? 4)What are the proportions of the phenotypes of the F2 generation?arrow_forwardA number of all-white cats are crossed, and they produce the following types of progeny: 1216 all-white, 316 black, and 116 gray.

With only one dominant allele, the phenotype is brown while in the absence of any dominant allele, the phenotype is white. Suppose that plants of a variety that is true breeding for red kernels are crossed with plants true breeding for white kernels. What specific type of interaction can be observed? A. duplicate dominant genes B. duplicate genes with cumulative effects C. complementary genes D. dominant epistasis (case 2)arrow_forward
