You are studying wing colour in butterflies. You cross pure-breeding male butterflies that have blue wings with yellow eyespots, with pure-breeding female butterflies with orange wings and black eyespots.

The F1 males all have orange wings and black eyespots, while the females have blue wings and yellow eye spots. You cross the F1 males and females and obtain the following F2 (the male and female F2 give the same ratios):

90 with orange wings and black eyespots

90 with blue wings and yellow eyespots

10 with orange wings and yellow eyespots

10 with blue wings and black eyespots.

Fully interpret the results, explaining the original parental genotypes, the genotypes of the F1 and how the F2 are generated.

b) In a pure breeding oraganism, the parents always passed down a trait or phenotype to the offspring. The parents and offsprings in trub breeding will always share the same genotype.

c) in cross A, solid orange wings represent dominant character and black and orange wings means they are recessive. Let assume A= dominant, solid orange and a= recessive, black, orange. As they are purebreed, the cross was betwen dominant and recessive homozygous. The offspring will have heterozyguos phenotype and the F1 offspring will have heterozygous genotype which will show dominant phenotype.

d) If the trait is sex linke, then the male will have the genotype Z^aZ^a and the female will have the genotype Z^AW. The offspring thus will have the genotype Z^A Z^a ( male) and Z^aW ( females).

e) If the wing colour trait is autosomal then the offspring will have Aa genotype and they will show orange and black wing colour.

f) The possible genotypes of the offspring will be Z^A/Z^a, Z^A/W, Z^a/Z^a, Z^a/W and the ratio will be 1:1:1:1.

	Z^A	Z^a
Z^a	Z^A Z^a	Z^a Z^a
W	Z^A W	Z^a W

Half of the offspring will be male and half of the offspring will be female. Half of them will have solid orange and half will have black and orange.

Male butterflies sometimes court females of other species with similar wing patterns. You are interested in how long males persist in courting the wrong female. You decide to test each male with a dead female, to control for the effect of the female’s behavior. You use three types of test females: one from the same species as the males, one from a different species with a similar wing pattern, and one from a different species with a different wing pattern....

1. Use a Punnett’s squares to show a monohybrid cross between pure breeding parents of tall (T) and dwarf (t) pea plants. The tall trait is dominant and thus is represented by the uppercase letter “T”. The dwarf trait is recessive and is represented by to lowercase letter “t”. 2. You have a pea plant with purple flowers but you are unsure of it’s genotype. Since purple flowers is the dominate trait (P), while the recessive trait is white flowers...

Imagine that you as a fruit fly researcher cross true breeding, wild-type flies to true breeding, eyeless flies in the P generation. The resulting F1 generation is made up of 100% wild-type flies with normal eyes. Based on Mendelian genetics, what phenotype ratio would you expect to see for a F1 monohybrid cross? How would you go about determining the genotype ratio in the F2 generation? In cactus, the relationship between Gene S and Gene N is known to be...

You cross a true-breeding dark orange flowered poppy with crinkly petals to a true-breeding white-flowered poppy with smooth petals. The F1 poppies are light orange with smooth petals. In the F2 generation you get 201 orange crinkly poppies; 400 light orange smooth poppies; and 199 white smooth poppies. Explain this observation using all appropriate terminology. Also provide a breeding diagram that clearly links genotypes to phenotypes. This is all that is given.
