- You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings.arrow_forwardAssume that in a series of experiments, plants with round seeds were crossed with plants with wrinkled seeds and the following offspring were obtained: 220 round and 180 wrinkled. (a) What is the most probable genotype of each parent?(b) What genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected?(c) Based on the information provided in part (b) above, what are the expected (theoretical) numbers of progeny (400 total) of each phenotypic class?arrow_forwardWe have dealt mainly with only two genes, but the sameprinciples hold for more than two genes. Consider thefollowing cross:A/a ; B/b ; C/c ; D/d ; E/e × a/a ; B/b ; c/c ; D/d ; e/ea. What proportion of progeny will phenotypicallyresemble (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?b. What proportion of progeny will be genotypically thesame as (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?Assume independent assortment.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forward1) A cross is made between two plants differing in four independently-assorting gene loci, AABBCCDD x aabbccdd, to produce an F, which is then self-fertilized. If the capital letters represent alleles with a completely dominant phenotypic effect, (a) how many different genotypes are possible in the F;? (b) what proportion of the F; will be homozygous dominant for all genes? (c) what proportion of the F; would have an ABCD phenotype? 2) Would your answers to (a), (b), and (c) be different if the initial cross were AAbbCCdd x aaBBccDD?arrow_forwardUsing the forked-line, or branch diagram, method, determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of these trihybrid crosses: (a) AaBbCc * AaBBCC, (b) AaBBCc * aaBBCc, and (c) AaBbCc * AaBbCc.arrow_forward
- Assume performing only one cross, which produced 274 flies, which consisted of 193 wild-type flies and 81 white-eyed flies. (a) Based upon this information, what is the most likely genotype of the female parent? (b) How to confirm the above answer with only the result from this one cross?arrow_forward1) S-Tu-U 2) S-U-Tu 3) Tu-S-U 4) U-S-Tuarrow_forward97 Assume that the trihybrid cross MM SS tt X mm ss TT is made in a plant species in which Mand S are dom- inant but there is no dominance between T and t. Consider the F2 progeny from this cross, and assume independent assortment. (a) How many phenotypic classes are expected? (b) What is the probability of genotype MM SS t? obib (c) What proportion would be expected to be 15 2nod bolleo homozygous for all genes? ablla Insninmobo.(omarrow_forward
- Based on the information you discovered in the previous problem, answer the following:a. A female fruit fly with genotype Tt nn is mated toa male of genotype Tt Nn. What is the probabilitythat any one of their offspring will have normalphenotypes for both characters?b. What phenotypes would you expect among the offspring of this cross? If you obtained 200 progeny, howmany of each phenotypic class would you expect?arrow_forwardIn garden peas, yellow seeds (Y)(Y) are dominant to green seeds (y)(y), and inflated pods (I)(I) are dominant to constricted pods (i)(i). Suppose you have crossed YYIIYYII parents with yyiiyyii parents. What would be all the genotype(s) of gametes produced by F1F1 individuals?arrow_forwardThe expected ratio of phenotypes among the progeny of a test cross is 1:1:1:1. Out of 200 total resulting progeny, 48 occur in one of the four phenotypic classes. Given this information, which of the following must also be true? a)At least one additional cell must also contain a count of 48. b)The progeny of this cross do not conform to a 1:1:1:1ratio. c)The value of observed - expected for this cell = -2. d)Since 48 is so close to the expected value, there is no need to calculate chi square before drawing a conclusion about the ratio.arrow_forward
