You set up a cross between true breeding wild type male fruit flies and true breeding female flies with a yellow body color. You notice in the F1 generation that half the flies, specifically all the males, have yellow body color while the females are wild type (gray). Which of the following explanations is the most likely?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Some of your females had already mated with yellow males before you collected them.
  2. Some of your parental flies must have had a new mutation in their germ cells.
  3. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the X chromosome.
  4. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the Y chromosome.

In the pearl-millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and rp (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 > Rp2 > rp). What will be expected phenotypes and ratios of offspring produced by the Rp1/rp × Rp2/rp crosses?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

geneticist is working with a new bacteriophage called phage Y3 that infects E. coli. He has isolated eight mutant phages that fail to produce plaques when grown on E. coli strain K. To determine whether these mutations occur at the same functional gene, he simultaneously infects E. coli K cells with paired combinations of the mutants and looks to see whether plaques are formed. He obtains the following results. (A plussign means that plaques were formed on E. coli K; a minussign means that no plaques were formed on E. coli K.)

In the pearl millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and Rp3 (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 >Rp2 >Rp3). Which of the following parental cross would produce ½ had red, ¼ purple, ¼ green?
