(a) A Drosophila male from a true-breeding stock with scabrous eyes was mated with a female from a true-breeding stock with javelin bristles. Both scabrous eyes and javelin bristles are autosomal recessive traits. The F1 progeny all had normal eyes and bristles. F1 females from this cross were mated with males with both scabrous eyes and javelin bristles.

Question: suppose you mated females from the true breeding stock with javelin bristles to males with scabrous eyes and javelin bristles. why would this cross fail to inform you whether the two genes are linked?

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,...

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...

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...

8) You just isolated a new strain of mutant mice, and preliminary mating suggest that the new mutant phenotype is not inherited in an autosomal fashion. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate that the mutant phenotype may be following either an X-linked dominant or a mitochondrial-type inheritance pattern. Assume the mice are true breeding. a) What informative crosses would you set up to distinguish between these two possibilities? b) How would you interpret your results? 9. You are crossing two individuals...

The data come from an alien species of fly whose genetics is identical to that of earth flies. As part of your assignment, you must confirm your hypothesized modes of inheritance by applying a chi-square analysis. NOTE ABOUT DEGREES OF FREEDOM: In situations where the observed counts and the expected counts for a category are both 0, that category does not figure into the chi-square calculation, so that the degrees of freedom is reduced by one in such situations. The...
