Your parents are studying the evolution of the pumpkin size to make the best patch in your city. After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size. What is the allele frequency for the homozygous dominant allele? Please round up and your final answer should have four decimal points.

A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
. In 1919, Calvin Bridges began studying an X-linkedrecessive mutation causing eosin-colored eyes inDrosophila. Within an otherwise true-breedingculture of eosin-eyed flies, he noticed rare variantsthat had much lighter cream-colored eyes. By intercrossing these variants, he was able to make a truebreeding cream-eyed stock. Bridges now crossedmales from this cream-eyed stock with true-breedingwild-type females. All the F1 progeny had red (wildtype) eyes. When F1 flies were intercrossed, the F2progeny were 104 females with red eyes, 52 maleswith red eyes, 44 males with eosin eyes, and14 males with cream eyes. Assume that thesenumbers represent an 8:4:3:1 ratio.a. Formulate a hypothesis to explain the F1 and F2results, assigning phenotypes to all possiblegenotypes.b. What do you predict in the F1 and F2 generations if the parental cross is between truebreeding eosin-eyed males and true-breedingcream-eyed females?c. What do you predict in the F1 and F2 generationsif the parental cross is…
. As we learned in this chapter, the white mutation ofDrosophila studied by Thomas Hunt Morgan isX-linked and recessive to wild type. When truebreeding white-eyed males carrying this mutationwere crossed with true-breeding purple-eyed females,all the F1 progeny had wild-type (red) eyes. When theF1 progeny were intercrossed, the F2 progeny emergedin the ratio 3/8 wild-type females: 1/4 white-eyedmales: 3/16 wild-type males: 1/8 purple-eyed females:1/16 purple-eyed males.a. Formulate a hypothesis to explain the inheritanceof these eye colors.b. Predict the F1 and F2 progeny if the parental crosswas reversed (that is, if the parental cross wasbetween true-breeding white-eyed females andtrue-breeding purple-eyed males).

We have crossed true-breeding flies today. Wild type to mutant. Their phenotypes were wt and vg se. (Let’s not worry about males and females for now, just assume both genes are autosomal, which is normal in a Mendelian experiment). The results of a cross are phenotypes. I will be asking you for numbers or a ratio of phenotype numbers you expect to see in the offspring from this cross. To answer this, you’ll need to start with the genotypes of parents, then write their gametes, then write the offspring genotypes, then get the phenotypes based on them. Predict the results of this cross: In case both mutations are recessive; In case both mutations are dominant; In case vestigial wings are recessive and the sepia eyes are dominant.
A purebred plant that produces yellow seeds (YY) is crossed with a purebred plant that produces green seeds (yy). The seeds of all of the offspring are yellow. Why? O The yellow allele is (completely) dominant to the green allele. All of the offspring are homozygous yellow. O The yellow allele is recessive to the green allele. O The alleles are codominant. a (24

You observe a population of Japanese 4’oclock plants. These plants can display red, pink or white flowers. Plants with red flowers are homozygous dominant (RR); plants with white flowers are homozygous recessive (rr) and plants with pink flowers are heterozygous (Rr). Based on the following data: 35 plants with red flowers; 25 plants with white flowers; 40 plants with pink flowers. Show all work A) Calculate genotype frequencies of RR; Rr and rr in the population. B) Calculate the allele frequencies of R and r in the population.
Each box represents a potential offspring. Notice that genotypically speaking, they are all the same. Theyare all heterozygous (genotype) which means their phenotype is dark coloration. So, there is 100% chanceof producing a dark eyed, heterozygous offspring. What if that offspring mated with a light eyedindividual? Can you make a Punnett Square for that?Write the Genotypes and Phenotypes of the parents on the left of the square. Complete the square, thenwrite the potential offspring’s genotypes and phenotypes on the right of the square. Parents: Offspring:Genotypes: phenotypes:  What are the genotypes of the resulting offspring? What are the phenotypes of the resulting offspring?
Heterozygous Cc chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cc). The dominant C allele is lethal when homozygous. Skin color is determined by the alleles W and w. W_ chickens have white skin and ww chickens have yellow skin. In a mating between 2 chickens heterozygous for both of these genes: 1) What phenotypes will be observed in the progeny? 2) What fraction of the offspring will have each phenotype? Assign alleles. List possible phentoypes. Make gametes, draw Punnett square, and list fractions of genotypes and/or phenotypes of offspring,
