Discussion Question: You are comparing three species (A, B, and C) and you face a dilemma. Morphologically, species A and B are very similar, but they are both different from species C. However, you have sequenced some genes in all three and the gene sequences indicate a high degree of similarity between species B and C. How would you resolve this situation?
In Drosophila (fruit flies), cut wings are controlled by a recessive X – linked allele
(ct), and fuzzy body is controlled by a recessive autosomal allele (fy). When a
fuzzy female is mated with a cut male, all the members of the F1 generation are
wildtype. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the F2 by sex?
Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. What is the probability that the F2 will have the phenotype big oval shaped yellow leaves, white flowers, and pink fruits?
