In a snail, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (b) is recessive to the allele for unbanded shell (B). Genes at a different locus on the same chromosome determine the background color of the shell; here, yellow (y) is recessive to brown (Y). The genes for shell banding and background color have a recombination frequency of 0.25. A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a testcross). What proportion of progeny will be banded and brown?

Black body (b) and purple eye (pr) are recessive autosomal mutations in Drosophila. Bridges crossed b/b females and pr/pr males. F2 cross produced 684 wild-type, 371 black-bodied, and 300 purple-eyes flies. Do these result indicate that the b and pr genes are closely linked? Explain. Remember that there is no crossing over in male Drosophila

The black color cost in hamsters is due to a dominant gene (B).. A recessive allele (b) at this locus results in a brown coat when homozygous (b/b). However, neither coat color is expressed when the organism is homozygous for the allele (a) at a separate locus. The a/a genotype results in a white (albino) coat, regardless of the allele at the B locus. The wild-type allele (+) at the (a) locus allows normal coat coloration, whether the genotype is...
