A paleontologist has recovered a bit of tissue from the 400-year-old preserved skin of an extinct dodo (a bird). The researcher would like to compare a specific region of the DNA from the sample with DNA from living birds. Which of the following would be most useful for increasing the amount of dodo DNA available for testing?

I- DD Male X SS female

II- DD Male X DS female

III- SS Male X DD female

IV - DS Male X DS female

A certain kind of snail can have a right-handed direction of shell coiling (D) or left handed coiling (d). If direction of coiling is due to a protein deposited by the mother in the egg cytoplasm, then a Dd egg-producing snail and a dd sperm-producing snail will have offspring of which genotype(s) and phenotype(s)?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Maternal inheritance of coiling of shell in snail (limnaea peregra) is well established. The dextral coiling depends on dominant allele D and sinistral coiling depends upon recessive allele d. A female F1 progeny of dextral(Dd) type is crossed with a male dextral (Dd). What will be the phenotype ratio in progeny?
