Chapter 5, Problem 2P
| a. | A Drosophila male from a true-breeding stock with scabrous eyes was mated with a female from a true-breeding stock with javelin bristles. Both scabrous eyes and javelin bristles are autosomal recessive mutant traits. The F1 progeny all had normal eyes and bristles. F1 females from this cross were mated with males with both scabrous eyes and javelin bristles. Write all the possible |
| b. | The cross in part (a) yielded the following progeny: 77 scabrous eyes and normal bristles; 76 wild type (normal eyes and bristles); 74 normal eyes and javelin bristles; and 73 scabrous eyes and javelin bristles. Are the genes governing these traits likely to be linked, or do they instead assort independently? Why? |
| c. | Suppose you mated the F1 females from the cross in part (a) to wild-type males. Why would this cross fail to inform you whether the two genes are linked? |
| d. | Suppose you mated females from the true-breeding stock with javelin bristles to males with scabrous eyes and javelin bristles. Why would this cross fail to inform you whether the two genes are linked? |

In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, (s) causes irregular wing margins. Give the genotypes,
phenotypes and phenotypic ratio of the F1 and F2 offspring in the following crosses
a. scalloped female crossed with a normal male
b. scalloped male crossed with a homozygous normal female.
Compare these results to those that would be obtained if the scalloped gene is autosomal.
a. In Drosophila, crosses between F1 heterozygotes ofthe form A b / a B always yield the same ratio ofphenotypes in the F2 progeny regardless of the distance between the two genes (assuming completedominance for both autosomal genes). What is thisratio? Would this also be the case if the F1 heterozygotes were A B / a b? (Hint: Remember that inDrosophila, recombination does not take placeduring spermatogenesis.)b. If you intercrossed F1 heterozygotes of the formA b / a B in mice, the phenotypic ratio among the F2progeny would vary with the map distance betweenthe two genes. Is there a simple way to estimate themap distance based on the frequencies of the F2phenotypes, assuming rates of recombination areequal in males and females? Could you estimatemap distances in the same way if the mouse F1heterozygotes were A B / a b?

- You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. Youcross females of this line with males homozygous for thecorresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denoterecessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type phenotypes): 1364 + + +, 365 a b c, 87 a b +, 84 + + c,47 a + +, 44 + b c, 5 a + c, and 4 + b +.a.

A color blind male, who is a heterozygote carrier for breast cancer has three children/n with a normal eyed female (whose mother was color blind), who is homozygote recessive for the breast cancer allele. What is the probability that out of three children, 2 will be color blind males, and not show breast cancer, and one will be a color blind female, who shows breast cancer?arrow_forwardA recessive allele causes Drosophila to have white eyes instead of wild-type eyes. This eye colourgene is known to be X-linked. In a cross between homozygous wild-type females and white-eyedmales, all F1 progeny have wild-type eyes.

- Miniature wings in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele (Xm) that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X+). Sepia eyes are produced by an autosomal allele (s) that is recessive to an allele for red eyes (s+). a. A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies. b. A female fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has miniature wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies.arrow_forwardEarlobe attachment is controlled by a single gene. The free (F) condition is dominant over the attached (f) condition. A woman with free earlobes produced several children with a man having attached earlobes. The following results were obtained with the F1 offspring: 8 free, 7 attached. What are the parents’ genotypes? a. A heterozygous free-lobed man is mated to a heterozygous free-lobed woman. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their possible offspring?arrow_forwardConsider a cross between a Brown furred dog and a Yellow furred dog. All the puppies born from these parents are yellow furred. Crossing the F1 yellow furred sons and F1 yellow furred daughters produces a 3:1 ratio of yellow furred dogs (3) to brown-furred dogs (1) in the F2 generation. True or False: this tells you that brown fur color in this dog species is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. is it true or false?arrow_forward
- In the common daisy, genes A and B control flower color. Both genes have a dominant allele (A or B) and a recessive allele (a or b). At least one copy of each dominant allele is required for flowers to be colorful instead of white.

Explain your reasoning. b. If the couple marked with a “*” had another child, what is the probability that it would be an affected daughter? (Note: this is a compound outcome.)arrow_forwardA. You cross a true-breeding sunflower, with yellow flowers and black seeds, with another true-breeding sunflower, with white flowers and green seeds.

Create allele symbols and genotypes for these genes and create a representation of this cross, which is consistent with the stated premises. Show your work. B. Upon completing an F1xF1 cross of the yellow flower, green seed sunflowers, you observe the following phenotype classes of offspring in the F2: 250 Yellow flowers and black seeds; 250 white flowers and green seeds; 500 yellow flowers and green seeds. A test cross of the yellow flower, green seed F1 generation generates the following offspring: 500 white flowers and green seeds; 500 yellow flowers and black seeds. Do these observations taken together, of the F1, F2, and test cross offspring, respectively, represent violations of Mendel's first law, Mendel's second law, or both?
