Chapter 9, Problem 17TYK
SCIENTIFIC THINKING The breakthrough that led Bateson and Punnett to recognize the existence of linked genes (Module 9.17) was the appearance of unexpected results after they crossed double heterozygous pea plants (PpLI) with each other. Imagine that you have a group of Labrador retrievers that are all heterozygous for both coat color and blindness (BbNn). If you used this group of dogs to produce 160 puppies, how many puppies of each

An ear of corn has a total of 381 grains, including 216 Purple & Smooth, 79 Purple & Shrunken, 65 Yellow & Smooth, and 21 Yellow & Shrunken. This ear of corn was produced by a dihybrid cross (PpSs x PpSs) involving two pairs of heterozygous genes resulting in a theoretical (expected) ratio of 9:3:3:1. Test your hypothesis using chi square.
H0 = outcome will always be at a 9:3:3:1 ratio
H1 = outcome will not follow 9:3:3:1 ratio

Mendelian Genetics Punnett Square Question :
In cattle, the hornless condition (H) is dominant to that for the possession of horns (h).

b) If the cow is then mated to a hornless bull which is also heterozygous, what is the chance that the first calf will have horns ?
c) Assuming that the first calf has horns, what is the chance that the second calf will be hornless ?

- Cultivated American cotton plants have a total of 52 chromosomes(2n = 52). In each cell there are 13 pairs of large chromosomesand 13 pairs of smaller chromosomes. Old World cotton plantshave 26 chromosomes (2n – 26); all large. Wild American cottonplants have 26 chromosomes; all small. 1)Propose a testable hypothesis to explain how cultivated American cotton probably originatedarrow_forwardTemales among these offspring are allowed to freely intermate, producing a flock of F, kittens. Predict The males and the phenotypic ratio for fur color among these many grandkittens. In Drosophila (fruit flies), the wild type eye color, brick red, is actually produced by the deposition of two pigments in the eyes, a dull brown pigment and a brilliant red pigment. These two pigments are produced by the action of two different, non-allelic (and non-linked) genes. Each of these genes has two alleles, a dominant one which causes normal the production of the pigment controlled by the gene, and a recessive one which is defective, and causes none of that pigment to be produced. Thus, a normal eye- color fruit fly must have at least one dominant allele for each of these genes. If a fly is homozygous for the defective, recessive allele of the gene which produces the brown pigment, that fly will have only the brilliant red pigment in its eyes. This condition is called "cinnabar." For this…arrow_forwardYou are working in the lab with strains of Drosophila that have either normal legs or abnormally short legs and you are studying the gene responsible. You know that normal legs are dominant to short legs. You come across a misplaced fly with normal legs, but you are not sure of his genetic background and you want to keep him in your experiments. (Without doing a molecular analysis), How could you figure out whether he was heterozygous or homozygous for the leg gene that you are studying? (Describe what you would do and how the results would answer the question.) What is the procedure you described above called?arrow_forward
- What was the hypothesis of the X-linked cross conducted in the lab (between white-eyed female and re-eyed male) with the white mutation in Drosophila and written up in your lab report? A All female offspring will inherit red eyes from their mother because the mutation is X linked recessi B All female offspring will inherit white eyes from their mother because the mutation is X linked recessive. C All male offspring will inherit white eyes from their mother because the mutation is X linked recessive. D All male offspring will inherit red eyes from their mother because the mutation is X linked recessive. E All male offspring will inherit white eyes from their mother because the mutation is X linked dominant.arrow_forwardGenetics, Mating took place between males and females of a fruit fly, and individuals appeared With the following proportions and attributes: 25% Female flies with irregular wings and 25% female flies with irregular wings 25% male flies with irregular wings and 25% male flies with irregular wings . .

You hypothesize that different alleles at just 5 genes are responsible for all the trait differences between the two plants. You take two inbred parent lines and cross them together to produce an F1 and then cross two F1 individuals together to produce F2 offspring. What proportion of the offspring do you expect to look exactly like each of the parent lines if your hypothesis is correct? Please show work using punnet squares.arrow_forward

- D In fava bean plant the seed color can be coded by two alleles, green (G) which is dominant and purple (g) which is recessive. A gardening hobbyist performed a cross between 2 true-breeding lines P1 and P2 that respectively have green and purple seeds. Answer the following questions in regard to the hobbyist experiment. 1) What are the genotypes of the parental lines A and B? what are the genotypes of the gametes of each parent? 2)What is the phenotype and genotype of the F1 generation of the cross? 3) What are the proportions of the genotypes of the F2 generation? 4)What are the proportions of the phenotypes of the F2 generation?arrow_forwardYou are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the “P” generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Answer all the questions below. 3a. What is the genotypes of P generation? 3b. What is the genotype of the F1 generation? 3c. You now take an F1 female and cross her to a true-breeding black, wingless male so what is the male’s genotype? 3d. You count 1600 offspring in the F2 generation. If the wing and the color traits were linked and no recombination occurred, what would you expect the numbers of: 1. brown winged flies (BbNn) 2. black winged flies (Bbnn) 3. brown wingless flies (bbNn) 4. black wingless flies (bbnn). 3e. What is the genetic distance between the color and wing genes when you count the F2 generation as 85 brown winged flies, 728 black winged flies, 712 brown wingless flies, and 75 black wingless flies.arrow_forwardMendelian Genetics The presence of a dimple on the cheek is governed by a dominant gene.
