in the snall Capded nemoralis, an autosonmal allele causing a banded (Bº) is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell (B°). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here yellow (C') is recessive to brown (C®w). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a test cross).

- 3) In the snail Capaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (B®) is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell (B°). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here yellow (C') is recessive to brown (CBw). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a test cross). a. What will the results of the testcross be in the loci that control banding and color ARE linked with NO crossing over.2. a. A Drosophila male from a true-breeding stockwith scabrous eyes was mated with a female from atrue-breeding stock with javelin bristles. Both scabrous eyes and javelin bristles are autosomal recessive mutant traits. The F1 progeny all had normaleyes and bristles. F1 females from this cross weremated with males with both scabrous eyes andjavelin bristles. Write all the possible phenotypicclasses of the progeny that could be produced from the cross of the F1 females with the scabrous, javelin males, and indicate for each class whether it is arecombinant or parental type.b. The cross in part (a) yielded the following progeny:77 scabrous eyes and normal bristles; 76 wild type(normal eyes and bristles); 74 normal eyes andjavelin bristles; and 73 scabrous eyes and javelinbristles. Are the genes governing these traits likelyto be linked, or do they instead assort independently? Why?c. Suppose you mated the F1 females from the crossin part (a) to wild-type males. Why would thiscross fail…In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?
- a. In Drosophila, crosses between F1 heterozygotes ofthe form A b / a B always yield the same ratio ofphenotypes in the F2 progeny regardless of the distance between the two genes (assuming completedominance for both autosomal genes). What is thisratio? Would this also be the case if the F1 heterozygotes were A B / a b? (Hint: Remember that inDrosophila, recombination does not take placeduring spermatogenesis.)b. If you intercrossed F1 heterozygotes of the formA b / a B in mice, the phenotypic ratio among the F2progeny would vary with the map distance betweenthe two genes. Is there a simple way to estimate themap distance based on the frequencies of the F2phenotypes, assuming rates of recombination areequal in males and females? Could you estimatemap distances in the same way if the mouse F1heterozygotes were A B / a b?1. Please consider the following pedigree. I 1 II 1 a) Assume that colour is controlled by a single sex-influenced gene where green is expressed preferentially in males. Individuals I-1 and I-2 are homozygous for red and green respectively. Which individual/s in generation II will be red? b) If colour is a controlled by cytoplasmic DNA, which individual/s in generation II will be green?In the snail Cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (BB) is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell (BO). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here, yellow (CY) is recessive to brown (CBw). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a testcross). a. What will the results of the testcross be if the loci that control banding and color are linked with no crossing over? b. What will the results of the testcross be if the loci assort independently? c. What will the results of the testcross be if the loci are linked and 20 m.u. apart?

- 3)Mendel found that crossing wrinkle-seeded (rr) plants with homozygous round-seeded(RR) plants produced only round-seeded plants. What genotype ratio and phenotyperatio can be expected from a cross between a wrinkle-seeded plant and a heterozygousplant for this characteristic?1. Please consider the following pedigree. I 1 2 II 1 a) Assume that colour is controlled by a single sex-influenced gene where orange is expressed preferentially in females. Individuals I-1 and I-2 are homozygous for orange and blue respectively. Which individual/s in generation II will be blue? b) If colour is a controlled by cytoplasmic DNA, which individual/s in generation II will be orange?Assuming a pure-breeding P generation, what ratio would you expect in the F2 generation if a mutant phenotype is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion? (remember, F1 are intercrossed) O 3 wildtype:1 mutant O 75% mutant and 25% wildtype O 1 mutant female : 1 mutant male: 1 wildtype female : 1 wildtype male O 50% mutant: 25% wildtype : 25% mutant, wildtype O All F2 will be mutant
