Answer #1

8) cross is AABBCC * aabbcc

F1 progeny is AaBbCc

a) A/- B/- c/c

AaBbCc * AaBbCc

let`s divide this cross in to 3

Aa * Aa

A a
A AA Aa
a Aa aa

The proportion of A/-= number of Aa+number of AA/total number

= 2+1/4

= 3/4

Bb* Bb

B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb

the proportion of B/-= 3/4

Cc*Cc

C c
C CC Cc
c Cc cc

proportion of cc= number of cc/total number

= 1/4

the proportion of A/- B/-cc= The proportion of A/-*the proportion of B/-*proportion of cc

= 3/4*3*4*1/4

=9/64

b) aabbcc

from the cross Aa* Aa

proportion of aa= number of aa/total number=1/4

from the cross Bb * Bb

proportion of bb= number of bb/total number=1/4

from the cross Cc* Cc

proportion of cc= number of cc/total number=1/4

proportion of aabbcc= proportion of aa * proportion of bb * proportion of cc

= 1/4*1/4*1/4

= 1/64

9) Probability of getting genotype AaBbCc

1) probability of getting Aa from the cross Aa * Aa = number of Aa/ total number

= 2/4

= 1/2

2 ) probability of getting Bb from the cross Bb * Bb = number of Bb/ total number

= 2/4

= 1/2

3) probability of getting Cc from the cross Cc * Cc = number of Cc/ total number

= 2/4

= 1/2

Probability of getting AaBbCc= probability of getting Aa from the cross Aa * Aa* probability of getting Bb from the cross Bb * Bb*probability of getting Cc from the cross Cc * Cc=1/2*1/2*1/2=1/8

b) probability of getting aabbcc=

Probability of getting aa from Aa* Aa= number of aa/total number=1/4

Probability of getting bb from Bb* Bb= number of bb/total number=1/4

Probability of getting cc from Cc* Cc= number of cc/total number=1/4

probability of getting aabbcc= Probability of getting aa from Aa* Aa* Probability of getting bb from Bb* Bb*Probability of getting cc from Cc* Cc=1/4*1/4*1/4=1/64

The F1 plants are testcrossed and the following offspring were produced: 149 shrunken, colored, 4035 shrunken, colorless, 152 plump, colorless and 4032 plump, colored. a.

    In cats, curled ears result from an allele (Cu) that is dominant over an allele (cu) for normal ears. Black color results from an independently assorting allele (G) that is dominant over an allele for gray (g). A gray cat homozygous for curled ears is mated with a homozygous black cat with normal ears. All the F1 cats are black and have curled ears. a. If two of the F1 cats mate, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the...

    The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by an autosomal recessive mutant allele that independently assorts with an autosomal recessive mutant allele for hairy (h) body. A parental cross was made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings with a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed to each other and produced 1536 offspring. The phenotypes of the F2...

    You are interested in mouse eye development and conduct a genetic screen for mutations that result in strong eye defects. After treating a male mouse with ENU (a chemical mutagen that induces base-pair changes and small deletions), you identify four mouse mutants 1-4, each with defective eyes. You cross each of the four mutant mice with eye defects to homozygous wild type mice and examine the progeny from each cross. What type of information can you get from observing the...

    46. (7 points) Vanessa has obtained two true-breeding strains of mice, each homozygous for an independently discovered recessive mutation that prevents the formation of hair on the body. One of the mutant strains is called naked, and the other mutation strain is called hairless. To determine whether the two mutations are simply alleles for the same gene, Vanessa crosses naked and hairless mice with each other (cross 1). All the offspring are phenotypically wild- type. A) What is the most...
