The lubber grasshopper is a very large grasshopper, and is black with red and yellow stripes. Assume that red stripes are expressed from the homozygous RR genotype, yellow stripes the homozygous R’R’ genotype, and both from the heterozygous genotype RR’. What will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation resulting from a cross of two grasshoppers, both with red and yellow stripes? What type of of inheritance is this?

In watermelons, the green colour gene (G) is dominant over the striped colour gene (g), and round shape (R) is dominant over long shape (r). A heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) watermelon plant is crossed with another heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) plant. Determine the expected phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation.
In autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Each of the F1 GGgg plants would obtain 12 gametes which are 2GG, 8Gg, and 2g. How were these obtained?

A male mouse that is heterozygous for a mutant Igf2 allele (Igf2/lgf2-) is crossed with a female who is homozygous for the wild-type lgf2 allele. What would be the expected outcome of this cross? Multiple Choice O O O O 1/2 the offspring would be normal; 1/2 would be dwarf All offspring would be normal because the paternal allele is expressed All offspring would be dwarf because the maternal allele is silenced All offspring would be dwarf because the paternal allele is silenced 3/4 of the offspring would be normal; 1/4 would be dwarf A
The data set attached summarizes F2 numbers from an F1 cross arising from two, true-breeding Drosophila strains (P generation), which differ with respect to two mutant traits. Here are the hypothesis: Leg length - The wild-type and mutant alleles for leg length are incomplete dominant relative to each other. Justification: The data set includes three phenotypic categories for leg length: wild type (long leg), medium leg, and truncated wings. The presence of three distinct phenotypes suggests an incomplete dominance pattern, where the heterozygous individuals exhibit an intermediate leg length phenotype (medium leg). The absence of purebred short-legged individuals supports the idea that the long leg allele is dominant over the short leg allele. This shows that mode of inheritance is incomplete dominance of the alleles relative to each other. Since the data does not mention any specific differences between males and females, we can assume that the mode of inheritance for the trait is…
In Drosophila, a cross was made between females expressing thethree X-linked recessive traits, scute bristles (sc), sable body (s),and vermilion eyes (v), and wild-type males. All females were wildtype in the F1, while all males expressed all three mutant traits.The cross was carried to the F2 generation and 1000 offspringwere counted, with the results shown in the following table. Nodetermination of sex was made in the F2 data. Question:Calculate the coefficient of coincidence; does this represent positive or negative interference?

In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pphomozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select two statements below that are TRUE. options: The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 cM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 cM. The homologs in the plant with…

In Drosophila, the gene loci for curved wings and purple eyes are 20 centimorgans (map units) apart from each other on an autosomal chromosome. Wild-type flies were mated with double mutant flies with cv cv p p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes. AlIl of the F1 flies had wild type phenotypes. The F, flies were crossed with double mutant flies with cv cv p'p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes.
