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.

a. Give the phenotypic ratios with the associated phenotypes if the red F1 offspring from cross 3 (orange-1 x orange-2 → all red) were crossed with each other.
b. Give a possible genotype for pink.
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.
Give the genotype of the offspring of this cross.

- You are doing a cross with Drosophila using the following two traits. Curly wings is dominant over straight wings, and round eyes is dominant over elliptical eyes. You cross a female fly that is known to be heterozygous for both genes with a male that is heterozygous for the wing gene but has elliptical eyes. This cross produces 74 flies with curly wings and round eyes, 61 with curly wings and elliptical eyes, 24 with straight wings and round eyes, and 21 with straight wing and elliptical eyes. Calculate the expected phenotype ratios for this cross, then use the chi-square test to see if the observed data are consistent with the expected numbers.arrow_forwardIn 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?

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_forward
- Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question. Which of the following is the most probable interaction between the two genetic loci, A and C, based on the average F1 ratio results? A - The two loci show an epistatic pattern with the loci C epistatic to loci A.B - The two loci show a codominant pattern with both loci affecting coat color.C - The two loci interact in a Mendelian pattern with A being completely dominant over C.D - The two loci show an incomplete dominance pattern with neither loci A nor C being dominant.arrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C).

- Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive.
