Chapter 3, Problem 20P

A rooster with a particular comb morphology called walnut was crossed to a hen with a type of comb morphology known as single. The F1 progeny all had walnut combs. When F males and females were crossed to each other, 93 walnut and 11 single combs were seen among the F progeny, but there were also 29 birds with a new kind of comb called rose and 32 birds with another new comb type called pea.

a. Explain how comb morphology is inherited.
b. What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygous pea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratios would be seen in the F2 progeny?
c. A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a pea hen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut, 11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are the likely genotypes of the parents
d. A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rose hen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are the possible genotypes of the parents?

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
