You perform a dihybrid cross in fruit flies using one dominant mutant (VanGogh, which has a unique swirl in the wing bristle pattern) and one recessive mutant (sepia, which have bright red eyes instead of the typical brick red) and find the following results in the F2. Normal eyes, VanGogh wings - 1011; Normal eyes, normal wings - 334; sepia eyes, VanGogh wings - 359; sepia eyes, normal wings - 120. Calculate expected results based on the prediction that Mendel's laws should govern this cross, and use those expected to calculate a chi square value. Show work.

Question text In drosophila (fruit flies): The yellow gene is on the X-chromosome, the gene product plays a role in body colour. Wild type flies are a light brown/tan in colour, homozygote yellow mutants have a more yellow shaded body colour. We'll use y+ to represent the wild type allele, and y to represent the mutant allele. y+ is dominant to y. The vestigial gene is on chromosome 2. Homozygote vestigial mutants have very short wings, and cannot fly. We'll...

You are doing a genetics experiment with fruit flies. In your first cross, you cross two true-breeding flies (P generation). 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. In the following questions, please indicate the alleles associated with dominant phenotypes by uppercase letters and alleles associated with recessive phenotypes by lowercase letters. Assume the genes are not found...

Wing size in Drosophila results from a pair of X-linked partially dominant alleles. LM produces long wings and Lm produces miniature wings. When both alleles are present in the heterozygous condition, medium-sized wings are produced. A female fly with miniature wings is crossed with a male that has long wings. a). What are the genotypes of the female and male flies described above? What are the genotypes of the gametes that each fly makes? (4 pts) Female genotype:                                                         Female gamete(s):...

"The orange locus in cats is located on the X chromosome. In females, XoXo results in orange cats and X+X+ results in black cats When a female is heterozygous XoX+, they express both colors in patches due to a phenomenon called X-inactivation in which one X in every cell is inactivated. These females are called calico or tortoiseshell, depending on the presence of white spots. Male cats are either orange (XoY) or black (X+Y). A cross between a black female...
