I'm having trouble understanding this problem. The most frequent
F2 progeny seem to have had crossover to me because the parents are
Aa Bb x aa bb but the progeny are Aa bb and aa Bb. I thought
parental progeny would have the same genotype as the parents. Can
you please explain how the most frequent progeny don't have
crossover? Thank you

. . . Activity E. Predicting the outcome of a dihybrid cross The resulting phenotypic ratios in the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross (2 traits) can be quite different than those observed from a monohybrid cross. But the process is essentially the same. First you list all possible gametes each parent and subsequent parents can produce. Second, you then assign the gamete possibilities to the Punnett square and fill it in. Finally you count the progeny and determine the...
The results for the F2 progeny are shown for a F1 cross using
the two X-linked markers:
w+ and m+.
As shown in the figure, the F1 cross is between the following
two parents:
- a phenotypically wild-type (red eye, full wing), heterozygous
female: w+m+/wm
- a double mutant male (white eye, miniature wing):
wm/Y
Answer the following questions:
1) In the F1 cross, can you infer the genotype for the phenotype
in the female? Why or why not?
2)...
Question 12 only.
Punnett's square analysis for the parental cross r Rr Rr 9) If we used the above offspring (F1) in a new cross, what would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of the Fz generation? 10) What is the genotypic ratio of the F2 generation? 11) What is the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation? 12) What would be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring from a cross between a homozygous recessive parent (r r)...
Pre-lecture lesson 2.12: Linkage and Gene Mapping You are charged with testing whether 2 different genes are independently assorting during meiosis in Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly The 2 genes you will be observing for this experiment are: Black: a recessive allele of this gene (b) results in a dark body color (somewhat similar to ebony, but a richer dark coloration that is less ashen-colored). The dominant allele for this gone (B) produces wild type body color Vestigial: a recessive...
6. In Cross 1, a yellow eyed, long wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain is mated to a red eye, short wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain. All of their offspring (F1) had red eyes and long wings. In Cross 2, one of the F1 offspring is mated to a fly with yellow eyes and short wings, and this cross gave the following F2 population: 194 flies with long wings and red eyes, 796 flies with...
1) Consider a single germ cell with the genotype A/a;B/b undergoing meiosis. Which of the following are possible genotypes for the set of four gametes resulting from meiosis of this single germ cell? (assume that there is NOT any nondisjunction) A, a, B, b Aa, Aa, Bb, Bb AB, Ab, aB, ab Ab, Ab, aB, aB aa, AA, BB, bb 2) From true-breeding stocks, a female fly with no eyes (mutation in eyeless (ey) gene) and no wings (mutation in...
1. What would be the phenotype for each of the following birds, including their gender? Color Gender Bb ZZi: - bb ZiZi: - BB ZZ: - bb ZW: - Bb ZiW: - 2. Using the phenotypes of the parents and of the progeny given in table 1, determine the genotype of each parent in the first nest. Male Female 3. Using the phenotypes of the parents and of the progeny given in table 2, determine the genotype of each parent...
1.My wife has black color eyes, the dominant trait. All of her family and relatives have dark eyes too. I have light color eyes (blue), the recessive trait. We are hoping for a blue-eyed baby. What is the probability we will have a baby with blue eyes? What is the probability we will have a baby with dark eyes? 2. In humans, tongue rolling is a dominant trait, those with the recessive condition cannot roll their tongues. Bob can roll...
6) A colorblind female, blood type A married 2 different men. One man (#1) had type AB blood and was colorblind. The other man (#2) had type B blood and normal color vision. Three offspring resulted from the marriages. If possible, determine the father of each of the following offspring. a) female, Type A blood, normal color vision b) male, Type AB blood, colorblind c) female, Type B blood, colorblind In tomatoes, red fruit color is dominant to yellow. Suppose...
1. If two strains of true-breeding plants that have different alleles for a certain character are crossed, their progeny are called a. the P generation. b. the F1generation. c. the F2generation. d. F1crosses. e. F2progeny. 2. Mendel’s crossing of spherical-seeded pea plants with wrinkled-seeded pea plants resulted in progeny that all had spherical seeds. This indicates that the wrinkled-seed trait is a. codominant. b. dominant. c. recessive. d. Both a and b e. Both a and c 3. Segregation of...
