Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 13TYK
Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition. What genotypic ratios would you expect among the living offspring of the following crosses?
a.
b.

In onion, male sterility is produced when the nuclear genotype is aa and the mitochondrial gene S (sterile) are present. Any other combination of nuclear genotype and mitochondrial gene (including gene F for fertile) will result in a male fertile plant. Give the genotypic ratio and the phenotypic ratio or the percentage of male sterile and male fertile offspring that will be produced in the following crosses.
1. Aa + S male x aa + F female
2. Reciprocal cross of number 1. (Note that when we do reciprocal cross, we interchange/swap the genotypes of the parents (if there is a nuclear gene involved, you interchange the nuclear genotype as well).
3. Aa + S female x Aa + F male
4. Reciprocal cross of number 3.
Red-flowering snapdragons are homozygous for allele R1. White-flowering snapdragons are homozygous for a different allele (R2). Heterozygous plants (R1R2) bear pink flowers. What phenotypes should appear among first-generation offspring of the crosses listed? What are the expected proportions for each phenotype? a. R1R1 × R1R2 c. R1R2 × R1R2 b. R1R1 × R2R2 d. R1R2 × R2R
In cats, there is a coat color gene located on the X chromosome which has two alleles—an allele for orange fur and an allele for black. A heterozygous cat has tortoiseshell color (a splotchy mixture of orange and black). Predict the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies among the offspring of the following crosses. Pay careful attention to the sex of the offspring.
Black female X Orange male
Orange female X Black male
Tortoiseshell female X Black male
Tortoiseshell female X Orange male
