1. In the C. elegans worm, the genetic model organism, an autosomal allele for a certain phenotype (a) is recessive to the dominant allele (A). At a different locus, determining a different phenotype, (b) is recessive to (B). An aabb worm is crossed with an AABB worm. The F1 are then test-crossed with a recessive homozygote

a. What will the results of the testcross be if the two loci are linked with no crossing over?

b. What will the results of the testcross be if the loci assort independently?

C. What will the results of the testcross be if the loci are linked with a certain recombination frequency?

In the snail Cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (BB) is recessive to the allele for unbanded shell (BO). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; yellow (CY) is recessive to brown (CB). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are crossed with a banded, yellow snail (a testcross). a. What will be the results of the testcross if the loci assort independently? b. What...

In mice, a genetic model organism, Harlequin phenotype is due to an X-linked allele that is recessive to the normal allele for coat color. A homozygous normal female is crossed with a Harlequin male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny.

5. Tay-Sach disease is due to an autosomal recessive allele t. The disease results in death of tt individuals before reproductive age. The relative fitnesses of the genotypes are TT=1, Tt=1, tt=0. a. What type of selection is occurring on this locus, and what do you expect will happen to the f(t) over time? b. Explain in general terms how Mutation-Selection Balance can keep the t allele in the population at a constant (equilibrium) frequency.

In the California poppy, an allele for yellow flowers (C) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (c). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (F) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (f). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that is white and fringed. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that is white and fringed, and the following progeny are produced:...

Tatuo Aida investigated the genetic basis of color variation in the Medaka (Aplocheilus latipes), a small fish found naturally in Japan (T. Aida. 1021. Genetics 6:554-573). Aida found that genes at two loci (B, b and R, r) determine the color of the fish: fish with a dominant allele at both loci are brown, fish with a dominant allele only at the B locus are blue, fish with a dominant allele only at the R locus are red and fish...

A phenotypically wilptype F1 female fruit fly that was heterozygous for genes controlling body color and wing length was crossed to a homozygous mutant male tester with black body (mutant allele b) and vestigial wings (mutant allele vg). a. Symbolize the genotype of the dihybrid female and tester male using appropriate Drosophila gene symbolism using b+ and vg+ for the wildtype dominant alleles; b and vg for the recessive mutant alleles. b. What is the genotype of the F1 dihybrid...

For problem 1, to compute probabilities, the probability of event 1 AND event 2 is obtained by multiplying the two probabilities together, whereas the probability of event 1 OR event 2 is obtained by adding the two probabilities. 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a condition that causes muscle degeneration and then death. Most people with the condition are wheelchair-bound by age 12 and dead before age 30. The condition is due to a mutation in the gene for a...

A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that is white and fringed. The F1 progeny were then test crossed and the following progeny were produced: 54 yellow and entire, 58 yellow and fringed, 53...

In an ornamental plant, silver-colored flowers (s) are recessive to blue-colored flowers (S), red leaves (r) are recessive to green leaves (R), and long stems (l) are recessive to short stems (L). All three genes involved are located on the same chromosome. Two true-breeding strains were crossed to produce an F1 plant. Then, this F1 plant was test-crossed to a plant with silver flowers, red leaves, and long stems, to produce the following progeny: progeny phenotype count of progeny silver...

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,...
