In examining a large sample of yeast colonies on a petridish, a geneticist finds an abnormal-looking colonythat is very small. This small colony was crossed withwild type, and products of meiosis (ascospores) werespread on a plate to produce colonies. In total, therewere 188 wild-type (normal-size) colonies and 180small ones.a. What can be deduced from these results regardingthe inheritance of the small-colony phenotype? (Inventgenetic symbols.)b. What would an ascus from this cross look like?
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
In a cross of EeFfGgHh and EEFfGGhh individuals, what is the probability that an EEffGGhh individual can be produced?

The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?
