Chapter 3, Problem 5CT

A researcher carefully inserts an electrode into an algal cell. He determines that the electrical charge across the cytoplasmic membrane is–70 millivolts. Then he slips the electrode deeper into the cell across another membrane and measures an electrical charge of –90 millivolts compared to the outside. What large organelle does the second membrane surround? Explain your answer.

In humans, red-green color blindness is recessive and X-linked, whereas albinism is recessive and autosomal.  What types of children can be produced as the result of marriage between two homozygous parents, a normal-vision albino woman and a color-blind, normal male?
In Drosophila, an X linked recessive mutation, scalloped (sd), causes irregular wing margins.  Diagram the F1 and F2 results if a (a) scalloped female is crossed with a normal male; (b) a scalloped male is crossed with a normal female (assume the female is homozygous).  Compare these results to what you would find if the trait was not sex linked.
