(a) You cross a brown-skinned sow (female) with a white-skinned boar (male). One third of the piglets are brown females, 1/3 are white females and 1/3 are white males. The brown gene is:

Group of answer choices (select all that apply).

a. dominant to white.

b. sex linked.

c. codominant with white.

d. None of these answers are correct

e. recessive to white.

f. lethal when hemizygous.

(b)Given the results from the cross immediately above, do you think you could carry out the reciprocal cross (brown male X white female) and why or why not? If it is possible, what would you expect for phenotypic ratios in the progeny?

Answer #1

a)

b. Sex linked
f. Lethal when hemizygous

The female parent is heterozygous from the brown gene (Xb Xw) and the boar is white skinned (Xw Y).

The progeny produced from this cross is Xb Xw (Brown female), Xw Xw(White female), Xb Y (Brown Male), and Xw Y(White male). However, the Brown males (hemizygous for the brown allele) perish, only leaving the three other genotypes.

b)

Given this information, the reciprocal cross would not be possible, as male pigs (boars) that have inherited this allele will not be survive to adulthood.

You carry out an F2 cross (with a male heterozygote and a female heterozygote) for this gene, which we will call “Eyeless” or “e”. You get the following progeny: 2/3 of the drosophila are wild-type phenotype (e+), 1/3 of the drosophila are small eyes phenotype (e). Which of the following genetics best explains your results? Group of answer choices Eyeless is autosomal dominant with a heterozygote advantage. Eyeless is codominant. Eyeless is autosomal recessive with a lethal allele. Eyeless is...

Please answer all the questions, they're related The autosomal recessive allele bw, for brown eyes in Drosophila interacts with the X-linked recessive allele, v, for vermilion eyes, since flies that are recessive for both genes have white eyes. Wild type flies have red eyes. What eye color phenotypes, in what proportions, would be expected in the progeny from a cross of a white-eyed female and a brown eyed male?  Choose the best answer. Select one: a. all females with brown eyes,...

A researcher is interested in a novel gene in drosophila called “COVID” which causes the flies to become antisocial and maintain a large distance from other flies. She performs two “reciprocal crosses” to determine the possible genetics of this gene. First, she crosses a true-breeding COVID female to a true-breeding wild-type male and produces the following progeny: All of the female progeny are wild-type and all of the male progeny from this cross are COVID. Next, she does a reciprocal...

In a cross between a white-eyed female with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XwXwY) with a red-eyed male, the majority of the males have white eyes and the majority of the females have red eyes. However, rare red-eyed males and white-eyed females are present as well. What is the most likely chromosomal constitution of the red-eyed males and white-eyed females resulting from this cross? Notes: Xw is recessive (white) and X+ is dominant (red). The answer is not...

In a Mendelian cross, a red flowering heterozygous male plant is crossed with a white flowering homozygous female plant. Most of the children of this cross (generation F1) produce red flower. 1) In this crossing by the progeny produced we can conclude that the recessive allele is: a-produce white flower b-produce red flower c-produce pink flower d-the recessive allele cannot be determined 2) phenotype of the female parent plant is: a-produce red flower b-homozygous dominant c-homozygous recessive d-produce white flower...

In Drosophila, the gene for white (w) eyes is on the X chromosome and it is epistatic over brown and scarlet. White eyes can also result by crossing brown-eyed females (bw) with scarlet eyed males (st) (that is, when both mutant alleles are present). A cross is made between white-eyed females with the genotype w//w (otherwise, homozygous for wild type alleles) and white-eyed males hemizygous for the wild type allele (w+ ). List the expected: a) Genotypes of the P1...

Please show all work step by step!! Please don't just give me answers.Thank you. In whales, the gene controlling tail shape exists as a dominant notched (T) or a recessive smooth (t) allelic form. A separate gene controls whether there are white markings on the dorsal fin or not. The dominant allele of the second gene (W) results in no white markings whereas the other allele (w) results in white markings in individuals homozygous for the recessive allele. The T...

2. Hypothetically, brown color in naked mole rats is dominant to white color and pointed teeth is dominant to flat teeth. Suppose you ran across a male naked mole rat that was brown with pointed teeth in class and you wanted to find out if he was homozygous or heterozygous by using a testcross. a. What are the possible genotypes of your male naked mole rat? b. What is the genotype and the phenotype of the female you would mate...

In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermillion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes caused by the wild-type allele. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, brown (bw), causes flies to have brown eyes. Flies with both mutations have no eye pigmentation and are white-eyed. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios for each sex from the following crosses: (a) vermillion females X brown males (b) wild-type females X white-eyed males
