Kernel color in wheat is controlled by 2 pairs of genes (AABB). Determine the color of the offspring with the following genotypes: (Note: 4 contributing alleles – red; 3 contributing alleles – medium red; 2 contributing alleles – intermediate red; 1 contributing allele – red; and 0 – white (AAbb x AaBb, AABb x Aabb, aaBb x Aabb, AABb x aabb, AABb x AaBb) Refer to the problem above, a wheat plant producing medium red seed is crossed with another plant producing intermediate red seed. How many individuals will be? Red Medium red Intermediate red Light red White
In a certain plant, leaf size is determined by fourgenes whose alleles assort independently and actadditively. Thus, alleles A, B, C, and D each add4 cm to leaf length and alleles A′, B′, C′, andD′ each add 2 cm to leaf length. Therefore,an AA BB CC DD plant has leaves 32 cm longand an A′A′ B′B′ C′C′ D′D′ plant has leaves16 cm long.a. If true-breeding plants with leaves 32 cm longare crossed to true-breeding plants with leaves16 cm long, the F1 will have leaves 24 cm longand the genotype AA′ BB′ CC′ DD′. Listall possible leaf lengths and their expectedfrequencies in the F2 generation produced fromthese F1 plants.

A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andnormal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings.The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wildtype, 778; black vestigial, 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial,162. What is the recombination frequency between these genesfor body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the resultsof the experiment in Figure 15.9?
stion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently?

You are mapping three linked loci in Drosophila melanogaster (the common laboratory fruit fly). You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance. You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results: 359 wild-type 361 apricot, bristle, clipped 89 bristle, clipped 91 apricot 42 apricot, bristle 38 clipped 9 apricot, clipped 11 bristle Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C). Then determine if each gamete is recombinant (R) or nonrecombinant (R) for each pair of alleles (that is, for each genetic interval). Complete the table by dragging the…
