Chapter 3, Problem 24P
In a species of fish, a black spot on the dorsal fin is observed in males and females. A fish breeder carries out a pair of reciprocal crosses and observes the following results.
Cross I Parents: black-spot male ×nonspotted female
Progeny: 22 black-spot males
24 black-spot females
25 nonspotted males
21 nonspotted females
Cross II Parents: nonspotted male × black-spot female
Progeny: 45 black-spot males
53 nonspotted females
a. Why does this evidence support the hypothesis that a black spot is sex linked?
b. Identify which sex is heterogametic. Give genotypes for the parents in each cross, and explain the progeny proportions in each cross.

If 2 spot (S) is dominant to 4 spot (s), give the genotypes for the parents in the following crosses:
2 spot × 2 spot yields 2 spot and 4 spot
2 spot × 4 spot yields only 2 spot
2 spot × 4 spot yields 2 spot and 4 spot
2 spot × 2 spot yields only 2 spot
4 spot × 4 spot yields only 4 spot
In a certain species of fruit fly, there are four strains with different eye colour: red, orange-1, orange-2 and pink. The following matings of true-breeding individuals were
performed.

b. Give a possible genotype for pink.
In mice, the allele C for colored fur is dominant over the allele c for white fur,
and the allele V for normal behavior is dominant over the allele v for waltzing
behavior, a form of discoordination. Give the genotypes of the parents in each
of the following crosses:
(a) Colored, normal mice mated with white, normal mice produced 29 colored,
normal and 10 colored, waltzing progeny.
(b) Colored, normal mice mated with colored, normal mice produced 38
colored, normal, 15 colored, waltzing, 11 white, normal, and 4 white,
waltzing progeny.
(c) Colored, normal mice mated with white, waltzing mice produced 8 colored,
normal, 7 colored, waltzing, 9 white, normal, and 6 white, waltzing progeny.

- In onion, male sterility is produced when the nuclear genotype is aa and the mitochondrial gene S (sterile) are present. 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. Aa + S female x Aa + F male 4. Reciprocal cross of number 3.arrow_forwardGive the genotype of the offspring of this cross.arrow_forwardAssume 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_forward
- In corn plants, a dominant allele (K) allows kernel colour and a recessive allele (k) inhibits kernel colour when homozygous. On a different chromosome, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour and the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel colour.A true breeding white corn plant was crossed with a purple corn plant, yielding 50% red corn plants and 50% purple corn plants.What are the genotypes of the parental corn plants? Select one: a. KKPp kkpp b. KkPP kkPP c. kkPp KkPp d. KKPP kkPparrow_forwardYou are working for a parakeet breeder that has some green birds and some blue birds. You want to determine which feather color is dominant. You cross a blue male to each of two green females. In the first cross, the blue male is crossed to a green female named Gabby, resulting in 2 green and 2 blue offspring. In the second cross, the same blue male is crossed to a green female named Gail, resulting in 5 green offspring. Based on these results: ● [Select] phenotype is dominant. • Gail's genotype is [Select] The cross between the male and Gabby is called a [ Select] cross.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 cabbage butterflies, White wings are dominant to yellow wings. If a heterozygous white-winged butterfly is crossed with a yellow-winged butterfly, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring and the percent chance for each?arrow_forwardIn sweet pea, gene C or P alone produces white flowers, the purple color being due to the presence of both of these factors. A white-flowered plant crossed with a purple produces progeny of which 3/8 are purple and 5/8 are white-flowered plants. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring.arrow_forwardGene A converts compound A (white) to compound B (blue). Gene B converts compound B to compound C (purple). These compounds determine the color of the individual.
