Chapter 2, Problem 10P

The dorsal pigment pattern of frogs can be either “leopard” (white pigment between dark spots) or “mottled” (pigment between spots appears mottled). The trait is controlled by an autosomal gene. Males and females are selected from pure-breeding populations, and a pair of reciprocal crosses is performed. The cross results are shown below.

Cross 1:

P: Male leopard × female mottled

F1: All mottled

F2: 70 mottled, 22 leopard

Cross 2:

P: Male mottled × female leopard

F1: All mottled

F2: 50 mottled, 18 leopard

a. Which of the phenotypes is dominant? Explain your answer.

b. Compare and contrast the results of the reciprocal crosses in the context of autosomal gene inheritance.

c. In the F2 progeny from both crosses, what proportion is expected to be homozygous? What proportion is expected to be heterozygous?

d. Propose two different genetic crosses that would allow you to determine the genotype of one mottled frog from the F2 generation.

The image attached shows a parental cross that is homozygous wild female x white male. F1 were intercrossed to produce the F2 generation as indicated below: Wild Female: 416 Wild Male: 192 White Female: 0 White Male: 192 Use the data provided to prepare a formal table for a Chi-square analysis.
Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross.  Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
In mice, the presence of AA alleles give rise to the agouti fur color, AAY gives rise to a yellow fur color, and AYAY is lethal, causing mice to die before birth. The B allele results in pigment formation and is dominant over the b allele. The bb genotype results in no pigment formation and gives an albino fur color irrespectively of the presence of the AA or AAY alleles.  In the following cross between a yellow and agouti mice, what would be the expected proportion of agouti fur mice among the live offspring?                                                         AAY Bb     X   AA Bb   1/2 1/4 3/8 1/3 3/4
