A true breeding male fly with eosin eyes (CCXw-eY) is crossed to a red-eyed female who is heterozygous for both the cream (C) and eosin eyes (Xw-e) allele. What will be the phenotypic ratio of their offspring?
Two genes control color in corn snakes as follows:O– B– snakes are brown, O– bb are orange, oo B– areblack, and oo bb are albino. An orange snake wasmated to a black snake, and a large number of F1progeny were obtained, all of which were brown.When the F1 snakes were mated to one another, theyproduced 100 brown offspring, 25 orange, 22 black,and 13 albino.a. What are the genotypes of the F1 snakes?b. What proportions of the different colors wouldhave been expected among the F2 snakes if the twoloci assort independently?
You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings.
In humans, widow's peak (H) is dominant over a continuous hairline (h), and short fingers (F) are dominant over long fingers (f). Two heterozygous individuals with widow's peak and short fingers want to have a child with continuous hairline and long fingers. Is this possible?

What is the probability that the first child will have curly hair? b. What is the probability that in a family of four children 3 will be curly and 1 will be straight haired? c. What is the probability that the first three children will be curly-haired girls and the next will be a straight haired boy?

Three coat-color patterns that occur in some breeds of horses aretermed cremello (beige), chestnut (brown), and palomino (goldenwith light mane and tail). If two palomino horses are mated, theyproduce about 1/4 cremello, 1/4 chestnut, and 1/2 palomino offspring. In contrast, cremello horses and chestnut horses breed true.(In other words, two cremello horses will produce only cremellooffspring, and two chestnut horses will produce only chestnut offspring.) Explain this pattern of inheritance.
