Consider the genes A and B that are located on mouse chromosome 5. They are 30 centimorgans (i.e. map units) apart. If the cross A b/a B x a b /a b were made, at what frequency would you expect individuals homozygous recessive for both genes to occur in the progeny of this cross? In mice, recombination occurs in both sexes. Choose the best answer.

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...

(5 pts) Genes D and E are located in the Drosophila genome. DE·DE females are crossed with de·de males to produce F1 flies that are heterozygous for both traits. What gametes do each of these parents make? F1 females were crossed with de·de males, and 2000 flies were examined. What gametes do each of these parents make? What are the possible genotypes of the offspring produced from the cross in part B? If the genes were sorting independently (not linked),...
