You believe that the gene you're investigating, eyes absent, is an autosomal recessive mutant allele F7 ge in Drosophila. You set up a cross between a true-breeding mutant male and a true-breeding wildtype female to obtain the F1 generation. You then cross the F1 flies. In the F2 offspring, you observe the following:
237 wild-type males
180 wild-type females
70 mutant males
83 mutant females
Based on these findings, is the mutant allele autosomal recessive? How do you know?
Assume that D, E, F, G, H, and I are autosomal genes on different chromosomes. From the mating
(parent A) Dd ee Ff GG Hh li x
(parent B) Dd EE FF Gg Hh ii.
A. What is the probability that one of the offspring will have the genotype Dd Ee FF Gg hh li?
B. What is the probability that one of the offspring will be heterozygous for each allele?
A sex-linked recessive allele rg causes a red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man.
A. What genotypes are possible for the mother of the colorblind man?
B. What are the chances that the first child from this marriage will be a colorblind boy?
C. Of the girls born from this union, what proportion can be expected to be colorblind?
D. Of all the children of these parents
