Pls help, show punnet squares and legends. thanks

9. A space probe discovers a planet inhabited by creatures who reproduce with the same hereditary patterns as those in humans. Three phenotypic characters are height (T = tall, t = dwarf), hearing appendages (A = antennae, a = no antennae), and nose morphology (S = upturned snout, s = downturned snout). Since the creatures were not "intelligent" Earth scientists were able to do some controlled breeding experiments, using various heterozygotes in testcrosses. For a tall heterozygote with antennae, the offspring were tall-antennae, 46; dwarf- antennae 7; dwarf-no antennae 42; tall-no antennae 5. For a heterozygote with antennae and an upturned snout, the offspring were antennae-upturned snout 47, antennae-downturned

Answer 1

Experiment 1: Test cross: TA Ta TEAa x ttaa EA Thaa ttaa TEAa Itall-antannae Tall-no antennael ttta dwarf- antennae dwarf- neantenne

Experiment 2: Test crogs: Aass x aass AS A s as as Aass antannae- as Aass aass aass ne antennae antannae- | no antennae_downturned downturned - upturned | snout I Snout Lupturned Snout snout

Experiment 1 :

Genotype of heterozygous Tall with antenna = TtAa

Test cross = TtAa (tall-antennae) * ttaa (dwarf-no antennae)

Gametes of TtAa = TA, Ta, tA, ta

Gametes of ttaa = ta

Progeny: TtAa (Tall-antennae) , Ttaa (Tall-no antennae) , ttAa (dwarf-antennae) , ttaa (dwarf-no antennae)

Given figures in the question :

No of tall-antennae (TtAa) = 46 (Parental)

No of dwarf - no antennae (ttaa) = 42 (Parental)

No of tall - no antennae (Ttaa) = 5 (Recombinant)

No of dwarf-antennae (ttAa) = 7 (Recombinant)

Total offspring = 46 + 42 + 5 + 7 = 100

Recombinant frequency = recombinat offspring / total offspring

= ( 5+7) / 100 = 0.12 = 12%

Experiment 2 :

Genotype of heterozygous antannae-upturned snout = AaSs

Test cross : AaSs (antennae-upturned snout) * aass (no antennae-downturned snout)

Gametes of AaSs = AS, As, aS, as

Gametes of aass = as

Progeny : AaSs, Aass, aaSs, aass

Given figures:

AaSs (antennae-upturned snout) = 47 (parental)

Aass (antennae-downturned snout) = 2 (recombinant)

aaSs (no anntennae-upturned snout) = 3 (recombinant)

aass (no antennae-downturned snout) = 48 (parental)

Total offspring = 47+2+3+48 = 100

Recombinant frequency = recombinant offspring / total offspring

= (2+3) / 100 = 0.05 = 5%

Recombinant frequency of first experiment is 12% and second experiment is 5%
