Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (Ab/aB) whose loci are linked and 25 mu apart. Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring.
A true breeding male fly with eosin eyes (CCXw-eY) is crossed to a red-eyed female who is heterozygous for both the cream (C) and eosin eyes (Xw-e) allele. What will be the phenotypic ratio of their offspring?
In a cross between two, dihybrid, heterozygous individuals, what fraction of the offspring will be dominant for only the (A) gene?

- In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these.
