Based on the information you discovered in the previous problem, answer the following:a. A female fruit fly with genotype Tt nn is mated toa male of genotype Tt Nn. What is the probabilitythat any one of their offspring will have normalphenotypes for both characters?b. What phenotypes would you expect among the offspring of this cross?

In a species of firefly, wide wings (W) are dominant to narrow wings (w) and graybodies (C) are dominant to brown bodies (c). A WwCc and wwcc fly were mated andproduced the following offspring: (in the picture attached) What is the recombination frequency for this cross (in percent)?
You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.) Body Color Wing Surface # of Individuals red smooth 102 yellow smooth 404 red crinkled 396 yellow crinkled…
Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part F: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be A - bb if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part G: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aaB- If the genes are 30 mu apart? Part H: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aabb if the genes are 30 mu apart?
A hypothetical brown frog with black spots (genotype BbSs) is test crossed with a green, unspotted frog (genotype bbss). These produce the following progeny: brown + spotted: 64 brown + unspotted: 134 green + spotted: 130 green + unspotted: 72 a. What is the genotype of the original dihybrid frog? Specify which alleles are on each chromosome of the brown frog with black spots (i.e. AB/ab or Ab/aB). b. How many map units separate the colour and spot genes? Show your calculations.
In one of Mendel’s dihybrid crosses, he observed315 round, yellow; 108 round, green; 101 wrinkled,yellow; and 32 wrinkled, green F2 plants. Analyze thesedata using the x2 test to see if(a) they fit a 9:3:3:1 ratio.(b) the round:wrinkled data fit a 3:1 ratio.(c) the yellow:green data fit a 3:1 ratio.
A cross was performed using Drosophila melanogaster involving a female known to be heterozygous for both ebony body and sepia eyes and a male known to be homozygous wild type male. The resulting progeny were allowed to mate with one another to produce the data set. Three repetitions of the experiment were conducted. The following data were produced from the crosses. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Use the 5% level of significance. Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject for each experiment.

In a cross between a white-eyed female (ww) and a red-eyed male (w+Y), nearly all the progeny were either red-eyed females (w+w) or white-eyed males (wY). However, about 1 in every 2000 F1 flies had an "exceptional phenotype" and was either a white-eyed female or red-eyed male. How did Bridges explain this unexpected result? A) Crossing over B) Incomplete cytokinesis C) Incorrect synapsis D) Nondisjunction E) Pseudoautosomal region
