You’re studying C.elegans and have isolated two homozygous mutant C. elegans lines, R1 and R2, that each display the roller phenotype. When each mutant is crossed to wild type, the respective F1 progeny are normal. An F1 self results in F2 progeny that phenotypically segregate 3 wildtype:1 roller. Crossing R1 x R2 results in wildtype F1 worms. Selfing these F1 (the F1 from the R1 x R2 cross) will produce the following F2 phenotypic ratio:


Group of answer choices

all wild-type : none roller

9 wild-type : 7 roller

13 wild-type : 3 roller

7 wild-type : 9 roller

3 wild-type : 1 roller

Answer #1

when R1 is crossed with R2 the progenies are wildtype so mutations in R1 and R2 are in different genes,

let the genes be A and B.

the genotype of R1 worms is aaBB and genotype of R2 worms is AAbb

R1 * R2

aaBB * AAbb

AaBb (F1)

F1 is wildtype it has normal alleles of both genes.

AaBb * AaBb

AB Ab aB ab
AB AABB ( wildtype) AABb( wildtype) AaBB( wildtype) AaBb( wildtype)
Ab AABb( wildtype) AAbb (roller) AaBb( wildtype) Aabb(roller)
aB AaBB( wildtype) AaBb( wildtype) aaBB(roller) aaBb (roller)
ab AaBb( wildtype) Aabb(roller) aaBb(roller) aabb (roller)

wildtype: roller=9:7

so the answer is b) 9 wild-type : 7 roller

    Paragraph Styl VI. Vivien 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 The discoverer of one of the mutant strains calls his mutation naked, and the other researcher calls her strain hairless.

In population screens you find 6 recessive mutants B' through B$ and establish homozygous strains, all of which have a pale blue phenotype. You cross each mutant strain to itself and to all the other mutant and wild type lines and observe the following results (+ = wild- type phenotype in F1, -= mutant...

    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.

    In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive brown eye color mutation (b) displays interactions with both the X-linked recessive vermilion mutation (v) and the autosomal recessive scarlet (s) mutation. Flies homozygous for brown and simultaneously hemizygous or homozygous for vermilion have white eyes. Flies simultaneously homozygous for both the brown and scarlet mutations also have white eyes. Flies that are wildtype at all 3 loci have wildtype eye color. Flies that are homozygous or hemizygous for the recessive mutant at only one...

    2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
