After determining that both y and e are recessive mutations, you decide to determine if these genes interact, since they both affect melanin accumulation but in opposite ways. To do this you make the following cross:
y/y, E/E (yellow ♀) X Y/Y, e/e (ebony ♂)
Show the genotypes which would segregate in the F1 and F2 generations with their expected ratios. Assume the two genes are unlinked and segregate independently
yyEE * YYee
YyEe ( F1)
F1 cross is
YyEe * YyEe
YE | Ye | yE | ye | |
YE | YYEE | YYEe | YyEE | YyEe |
Ye | YYEe | YYee | YyEe | Yyee |
yE | YyEE | YyEe | yyEE | yyEe |
ye | YyEe | Yyee | yyEe | yyee |
if the genes assort independently the expected genotypic ratio is
YYEE:YYEe:YyEE:YyEe:YYee:Yyee:yyEE:yyEe:yyee=1:2:2:4:1:2:1:2:1
( phenotype of the double mutant is not given)

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...
There is X-linked mutations in flies in this example. You need to determine the inheritence pattern of a mutant that causes hairy body. You mate hairy body males with females that are true breeders for normal bodies. All the offspring (F1) have normal bodies. a.) The hairy body is dominant or recessive? b.) What symbol will you use to represent the hairy allele? c.) What symbol will you use to represent the normal allele? d.) Determine the genotypes of the...
Several genes are involved in determining kernel color and the effects of their alleles are outlined in the table below. Relationship Trait Endosperm Color Y>y Aleurone Color R> C'> > Aleurone Color Inhibitor Genotype Phenotypic Effect Yellow Endosperm White endosperm Purple Aleurone Colorless aleurone No aleurone color in the presence of color alleles like R CC or Cc Aleurone Color in the presence of color alleles like R Colorless aleurone layer in the presence of color genes like R No...
4. You cross individuals with the following Genotypes, AaBbDdEeFFGg & AaBbDDEeFfGg. Predict the proportion of offspring that would show the following Phenotype or Genotype? A) all Dominant Phenotypes, B) the Genotype: AabbDdEeFfgg, C) the Genotype: AABbDdEeFfgg, D) the Genotype: aaBbddEeffGg, & E) all Recessive Phenotypes. 5. You cross individuals with the following Genotypes, AaBbDdEeFFgg x AabbDDEeFfGg. If you produce 1000 offspring in this cross, predict the number of offspring that would have the following Phenotype or Genotype? A) all Dominant...
4) In this problem we will explore some of the many ways that mutations in two different genes can interact to produce different Mendelian ratios. Consider a hypothetical snail species that has shells that may be fully banded, ventrally banded, or completely unbanded (no bands). Imagine mutations in two different unlinked genes that can, in certain combinations, block the formation of banding, either fully or on most of the dorsal portion of the shell. In principle, there are two different...
Which of these statements is incorrect? Syntenic genes are located on the same chromosome. Independent assortment results in recombinant chromosomes. You can reliably predict the relative genetic distance from genes’ physical distance on a chromosome. Linked genes are always syntenic. What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genes if the recombination frequency is 0.49? 0.49 cM 4.9 cM 49 cM 490 cM What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratios observed by Bateson & Punnett in 1905?...
15. You are studying com plants. You were able to determine that the gene for kernel color (C-colored and no color) and kernel waxiness (W = waxy and not waxy) are on the same chromosome and are 30 CM apart. You are ultimately interested in determining the potential phenotypic ratio if crossing over occurs. You start by crossing a male who is homozygous dominant for both genes with a female who is homozygous recessive for both genes. The F1 heterozygotes...
