You have isolated a true-breeding fish strain that has blue scales. Then you isolate another true- breeding fish strain that that has orange scales. You know that each of the colors are caused by recessive alleles in 2 different genes. You cross a blue fish to an orange fish and find out that all of the offspring have orange looking scales. You cross the Fi progeny with each other and find 37 fish blue scales, 27 fish have green scales, and 98 fish have orange scales. a. You suspect that the inheritance pattern is due to recessive epistasis. Draw the order of the phenotypes controlled by this biochemical pathway that would be consistent with your hypothesis.

A geneticist has two true-breeding strains of mice. Each strain is homozygous for an independently discovered dominant mutation that causes the mice to have no fur. One mutant strain is called “hairless”, and the other strain is called “naked”. The geneticist crosses hairless and naked mice with each other and the F1 offspring all have no fur. When the F1 mice are crossed with each other, the offspring consist of 187 mutant mice with without fur and 13 normal mice with fur. a. Are the “hairless” and “naked” mutations alleles of the same gene? Give a reason for your answer. b. Give the genotypic and associated phenotypic ratios of the F2 offspring. (which genotypes in the offspring of the F1 x F1 cross produce fur and which genotypes produce no fur). In another strain of mice, coat colour is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles in a dominance series where cream (A1) > agouti (A2) > brown (A3) > black (A4). c. Give the genotypes of two phenotypically…
You have determined that the gene order for three linked genes being studied is A B C. The number of recombinants resulting from crossover between genes A and BC are 44 and 48, respectively, while the double-crossover progeny total 4 and 6. What is the recombination frequency between genes A and B if the total progeny from the cross is 1000? Show all of your work.
When crossing a true breeding white mouse with a true breeding brown mouse your friend tells you she recovered all black mice. But then when she crosses the F1 mice to each other she recovered 28 black mice, 8 brown mice, and 13 white mice. Can you help her explain these results? (Type out the cross and include genotypes of as many mice as possible. What phrase best describes this phenomenon? How many genes are involved are they linked or unlinked? Etc.)
A variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) with lacerate leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All the F1 had lacerate leaves. Two F1 plants were interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. Give genotypes for all the plants in the P, F1, and F2 generations. Explain how lacerate leaves are determined in the opium poppy.
You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 8.3 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 12.4 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are expected to have red flowers and fuzzy leaves. Round properly to 4 decimal digits. Answer:
After analyzing data from a three-point cross she has lost her lab manual. The only thing she can find is that the Interference in this cross was 0.68. She remembers a testcross was done with a heterozygous female and that the genes being analyzed were forked bristles, crossveinless wings, and white eyes. She also tells you that there is an equal distance between these genes. What is this distance if she counted 3 double crossover progeny out of 500 total progeny?
You have three different pure-breeding strains of the same flowering plant species. Strain f has purple flowers, while strains g and h have white flowers. The F2 is a result of allowing the F1 the self fertilize.

An ebony strain of flies was discovered to be sensitive to carbon dioxide. Crossing a female sensitive strain with male resistant strain gave all sensitive offspring. The offspring of an F1 female crossed with a resistant male were all sensitive. Using the following key to your illustrations using shapes, make a reciprocal cross up to the F2 generation. Put your illustrations in the space provided below. Label the phenotypes of all individuals in the reciprocal cross. Adjust spacing, if necessary. Make sure that the complete cross(es) can fit the same page.

A homozygous variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum Laciniatum) with lacerate leaves was crossed with another homozygous variety with normal leaves. All the F₁ had lacerate leaves (jagged-edged leaves). Two F₁ plants were crossed to produce the F2. Of the F2, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? two genes, with a dominant allele at both loci two genes, where one allele at a single locus is recessive lethal one gene, with codominant alleles at a single locus two genes, with a dominant allele at either or both loci Give genotypes for all the plants in the P, F₁, and F2 generations.
