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...

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...

The wildtype allele of the SYN gene encodes a protein product that stimulates the synthesis of carotenoid pigment in plant leaves. The wildtype homozygote would have 20 units of SYN enzyme and 200ppm (parts per million) carotenoids in its leaves. A mutant for this gene is found which, in the homozygote, produces 20 units of SYN enzyme and 125 ppm carotenoids. The pure-breeding strains are crossed and the F1 produces 20 units of SYN enzyme and 180 ppm carotenoids. The...

A population of Hawaiian Drosophila is segregating two alleles, S and T, of the PGI gene. In a sample of 100 flies form this population, 30 were SS, 60 were ST and 10 were TT. What is the frequency of the S allele? Select one: A. 0.30 B. 0.40 C. 0.50 D. 0.60 E. 0.70

Assume that for a given gene a mutation creates an allele that functions as a dominant negative. The gene codes for a protein that forms a tetramer (4) within the cell. If at least one of the subunits has the mutant structure the entire protein is inactivated. For a heterozygous individual, what percent of the tretramers present in the cell will be inactive?

Consider a gene with a dominant and recessive allele in a population conforming to the Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Assuming the frequency of the recessive allele in the entire population is q, show that the frequency of the recessive allele in individuals with the dominant phenotype is q/(1+q).

A recessive mutant allele of an autosome gene in a species of mouse results in a shorted tail in males when homozygous. However, when homozygous in females, this genotype has no effect, and the mice have normal tails. What is this genetic phenomenon called? a) Cytoplasmic inheritance b) Sex-limited characteristic c) Sex-influenced characteristic d) Genetic maternal effect e) Genomic imprinting

Assuming the frequency of the recessive allele in the entire population is q, show that the frequency of the recessive allele in individuals with the dominant phenotype i q/(1 +q).
