Expert Solution

Correct answer- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a test that “maps” the genetic material in a person's cells. This test can be used to visualize specific genes or portions of genes.

As far as the rest of the choices are concerned-

Immunohistochemistry is the most common application of immunostaining. It involves the process of selectively identifying antigens (proteins) in cells of a tissue.

DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to establish a link between biological evidence and a suspect in a criminal investigation.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used for the amplification of the gene.

Question text In drosophila (fruit flies): The yellow gene is on the X-chromosome, the gene product plays a role in body colour. Wild type flies are a light brown/tan in colour, homozygote yellow mutants have a more yellow shaded body colour. We'll use y+ to represent the wild type allele, and y to represent the mutant allele. y+ is dominant to y. The vestigial gene is on chromosome 2. Homozygote vestigial mutants have very short wings, and cannot fly. We'll...

Deletions can be used to map genes along a chromosome. In order to do this a series of crosses in which one parent is homozygous for a mutant allele is crossed with the other parent that is homozygous for a partial deletion of the region. The progeny are scored to determine whether they have the mutant phenotype ("m") or the wild-type phenotype ("+"). If a mutation falls within the deletion it will have the "m" phenotype, if it falls outside...

Imagine that the P gene lies on the Z chromosome, and controls the brightness of a bird’s plumage. The dominant wild-type Zpb allele produces bright plumage, while the recessive variant Zpd allele produces dull plumage.

If a male and female from the F1 generation mate, what genotypes/phenotypes do you expect to see in the F2 generation?...
