Concept explainers
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
F1: All mottled
F2: 70 mottled, 22 leopard
Cross 2:
P: Male mottled
F1: All mottled
F2: 50 mottled, 18 leopard
a. Which of the
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.

In f1 cross between affected male and unaffected female, the expected proportions of the disease phenotype and the wild type phenotype in the f2 generation are:arrow_forwardIn rabbits, an allelic series helps determine coat color. The alleles, in order of dominance, are listed below. C=full coat color Cch-chinchilla Ch-himalayan c=white What is the predicted outcome for a CCh rabbit crossed with a Cchc rabbit?

- In mice, an allele for apricot eyes (a) is recessive to an allele for brown eyes (a+). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for tan coat color (t) is recessive to an allele for black coat color (t+). A mouse that is homozygous for brown eyes and black coat color is crossed with a mouse having apricot eyes and a tan coat. The resulting F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. In a litter of eight F2 mice, what is the probability that two will have apricot eyes and tan coats?arrow_forwardYou are working with a dog breeder to produce a litter of puppies from their dogs. Of particular interest to this breeder is the texture of the coat and the presence of spots. The texture of the coat is controlled by one gene (R = rough coat, r = smooth coat), and the presence of spots is controlled by a separate gene (S = spots, s = solid coat). The breeder decides to perform the following cross: RrSs x rrSs What percentage of the offspring would you expect to have the following phenotypes: Rough and spotted: Incorrect answer: 56.25% Rough and solid: Incorrect answer: 18.75% Smooth and spotted: Incorrect answer: 18.75% Smooth and solid: Incorrect answer: 6.25%arrow_forwardConsider the following dihybrid testcross: B/b • E/e × b/b • e/e For the progeny from this testcross, determine the relative proportions (from 0% to 100%) of each genotype if the two genes: a) are linked (dominant alleles in cis conformation) with no crossing over: Be/be: be/be: BE/be: bE/be: b) assort independently. B/b; E/e: B/b; e/e: b/b; E/e: b/b; e/e: c) are linked (dominant alleles in cis conformation) and 20 map units apart. Be/be: be/be: BE/be: bE/be:arrow_forward
- Consider a cross between a true breeding purple flowered pea plant (genotype PP) and a true breeding white flowered pea plant (genotype pp) that produces all heterozygous F1 offspring. An F1 intercross is conducted between two of the F1 offspring, resulting in the F2 generation. What is the expected phenotype outcome of the F2 individuals resulting from the F1 intercross? 100% white offspring 100% purple offspring 3 purple: 1 white 1 purple: 2 light purple: 1 white 1 purple: 1 whitearrow_forwardIn the rat, the pattern of coat color is affected by a gene with two alleles. PH is the allele for hooded, in which the animal is mostly white with color restricted to the shoulders and neck. P+ is the normal solid body color allele. These two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, so that heterozygotes have white bellies only. A true-breeding solid strain is crossed with a true-breeding hooded strain, to produce an F₁ generation that is all white belly. The F₁ generation rats are mated with each other to produce 800 F₂ offspring. Below is a table that gives the observed number of each phenotype in the F2 and also gives you the expected number. Question: If you perform a Chi-square goodness of fit test, what is the value of Chi square X² (Express your answer to the hundredths.) solid white belly hooded Σ Observed 195 420 185 800 Expected 200 400 200 800arrow_forwardThe normal color of snapdragons is red. Some pure linesshowing variations of flower color have been found.When these pure lines were crossed, they gave the following results (see the table):a. Explain the inheritance of these colors.b.

- A parental cross between homozygous wild-type red eyed females (X+ X+) were crossed with white eyed males (XwY). The F1 generation consisted of phenotypic X+Xw females and X+Y males. The F2 generation was produced by crossing the F1 generation and consisted of a ratio of 2 red eyed females (X+ X+ and X+ Xw) : 1 red eyed male (X+Y) : 1 white eyed male (XwY). Attached is a picture of a chi square analysis based on the results from the F2 generation. Please discus what conclusions can be made based on the data/findings.

Any other combination of nuclear genotype and mitochondrial gene (including gene F for fertile) will result in a male fertile plant. Give the genotypic ratio and the phenotypic ratio or the percentage of male sterile and male fertile offspring that will be produced in the following crosses. 1. Aa + S male x aa + F female 2. Reciprocal cross of number 1. (Note that when we do reciprocal cross, we interchange/swap the genotypes of the parents (if there is a nuclear gene involved, you interchange the nuclear genotype as well). 3.
