In Drosophila, white eye is inherited as an X-linked recessive. Apterous wing is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. A female heterozygous at both loci is crossed with a white eyed male that is heterozygous for apterous. Of all the offspring, what fraction will be female and white eyed? a. 1/2 b. 3/4 c. 1/4 d. none

A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color- blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. What proportion of their sons would be color-blind and of normal height? a. none b. half C. one our of four d. three out of four е. all

How many of their daughters might be expected to be color-blind dwarfs? а. all b. none c. half d. one out of four e. three out of four
Colorblindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait while pattern baldness is controlled by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males but recessive in females. A colorblind man who is also homozygous for baldness has children with a woman who carries normal genes for both traits. What is the probability that any of their child will be: a. Colorblind, bald male b. Colorblind, normal-haired male c. Female with normal sight and bald
Miniature wings in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele (Xm) that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X+). Sepia eyes are produced by an autosomal allele (s) that is recessive to an allele for red eyes (s+). a. A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies. b. A female fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has miniature wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies.
Color blindness in humans is controlled by an X-linked completely recessive allele (Xc), while breast cancer is controlled by an autosomal completely dominant allele, B. A color blind male, who is a heterozygote carrier for breast cancer has three children/n with a normal eyed female (whose mother was color blind), who is homozygote recessive for the breast cancer allele. What is the probability that out of three children, 2 will be color blind males, and not show breast cancer, and one will be a color blind female, who shows breast cancer?
In humans, the genes for coloblindedness and hemophilia re both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. a. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. b. If the man dies and the woman remarries to a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children could be expected from hre second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could ne expected
In Drosophila, the vermilion eye color is determined by a recessive allele, v, of an X-linked gene. The wildtype color is determined by the v+ allele and causes a brick red eye color. In a cross of a heterozygous female with a wild type male you observe 340 red eye females, 136 red eye males, and 90 vermillion males. Do these results follow your expectations?
Color blindness is an X-linked trait caused by a recessive alle A carrier female marries a normal male a. How many male offspring can be expected to be color-blind and have a normal vison? b. How many female offspring can be expected to be carriers and to be normal?
A rare breed of Siamese cat has given birth to 3 kittens. What is the probability that all 3 are of the seam sex-either all male or all female? 3/8 1/2 1/4 2/3 None of these When one examines the pattern of inheritance of a deleterious gene and finds that it appears in fathers and grandsons only, what is the conclusion regarding the gene? a. Sex limited b. Sex linked C. Sex influenced d. Sex related e. None of these Pattern baldness Is found only in males b. Is due to a pair of sex linked genes a. С. Exerts its effect only in the homozygous state d. Behaves as a dominant in males and a recessive in females e. All of these are false . A monoecious organism, as corn, is one in which The female is the heterogametic sex a. b. Each individual (plant) produces two kinds of gametes
A woman with a rare autosomal recessive disorder was told that it was unlikely that her children would have the disorderas her husband did not have it. However, her first child has the disorder. a. What is the most likely explanation? b. Diagram the cross between the woman and her husband using a Punnett square, give the genotypic ratio (GR) and phenotypic ratio (PR) from the Punnett square. c. Based on the Punnett square results, what is the chance that her next child will have the disorder?

Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds?
