Scalloped (sd) is an X linked recessive and ebony (e) is an autosomal recessive mutation. What proportion of scalloped, ebony females (relative to whole population) is expected in the F2 starting with a true breeding scalloped female which is wile type for ebony mating with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony. PLEASE break this down step by step and simplify it please. All I know is the answer is 1/16... no idea how to get it.

Expert Solution

In above it is explained how 1/16 of scalloped ebony females are produced in F2 generation if a true breeding scalloped female with wild type ebony is crossed with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony.

Scalloped (sd) wing is an X-linked recessive and ebony (e) body color is an autosomal recessive mutation in Drosophila. What proportion of scalloped, ebony colored females is expected in the F2 starting with a true breeding scalloped female which is wild type for ebony mating with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony. a. 1/16 b. 3/16 c. 0 d. 1/8 e. 1/32

In Drosophila , a recessive autosomal allele, ebony (e) produces a black body colour when homozygous. Another recessive autosomal allele, black (b) also produces a black body colour when homozygous. Wild type flies are grey. Flies with genotypes e/e b+/-, e+/- b/b, and e/e b/b show identical colour phenotype. If e/e b+/b+ ebony flies are crossed with e+/e+ b/b black flies than; c) What phenotypic ratios would be observed from the crosses F1 x true-breeding ebony, and F1 x true-breeding black? d) What would be...

Genetic Inheritance Patterns: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked

Genetic Inheritance Patterns: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Usher’s Syndrome is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. One website (http://www.emedicine.com/oph/topic704.htm) says that Usher’s Syndrome Type II has been mapped to chromosome arm 1qe. Usher’s Type II...

The yellow mutation is an X-linked recessive mutation in Drosophila, causing yellow body color. A yellow-bodied female is crossed to a male with wild type body color to produce F1 progeny. The F1 female progeny and F1 male progeny are then crossed to each other to produce F2 progeny. Among the F2 females A. all will be yellow body color. B. 3/4 will be yellow body color. C. 1/2 will be yellow body color. D. 1/4 will be yellow body...

Fill in the blank. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation in the DMD gene, which encodes the protein dystrophin. A female without the disease mates with a male with Duchenne muscular dystrophy; they have two sons and two daughters. The first son has the disease as does their first daughter. Based on this, the probability that the second son will have the disease is________________ The probability that the second daughter will be a carrier is____________

The condition shown in this family has multiple possible modes of inheritance: X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive. It is always one mode of inheritance for each family (ie it doesn't change between people within the same family). Assume full penetrance and onset from birth. You are trying to determine the mode of inheritance for the condition in this family. Regardless of the gene it's on, finding a single pathogenic mutation in who in this family (other than the...

Suppose colourblindness is an X-linked recessive trait, while Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant trait. Assume both traits are rare. A colourblind man decides to have children with a women who is heterozygous for both genes. What is the probability that they will have a child that is colourblind and does not have Huntington's?

In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermillion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes caused by the wild-type allele. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, brown (bw), causes flies to have brown eyes. Flies with both mutations have no eye pigmentation and are white-eyed. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios for each sex from the following crosses: (a) vermillion females X brown males (b) wild-type females X white-eyed males

QUESTION 6 Red-Green colorblindness is a X-linked recessive disorder. Huntington’s is an autosomal dominant disorder. Susan’s father is color blind and has Huntington’s disease and is heterozygous for the Huntington’s allele. Her mother is normal and has no history of colorblindness or Huntington’s in her family. Her brother has developed Huntington’s but is not colorblind. Her husband Greg is healthy and has no incidence of either disorder in his family. Susan is not colorblind and has not yet be tested...
