In a certain species of grasshoppers, the gene(R) for red eyes is dominant to the gene for green eyes(r) and is an autosomal trait. The gene for straight wings(S) is dominant to the gene for curly wings(s) and is sex-linked.  The genes are carried on different chromosomes. State the phenotypic ratio of the F1 and F2 if the P1 generation female is homozygous dominant for both traits and the male has green eyes with curly wings.  

In drosophila, there is a dominance hierarchy for wing shape.(Curly>Straight>Wavy>Dwarfed).

a.  State the phenotypic ratio from a cross with heterozygous wavy winged male with a dwarf winged female.  

b.  State the phenotypic ratio from a cross with a heterozygous curly winged male who had a dwarfed winged mother, and a straight winged female whose mother was homozygous with wavy  wings.

Baldness(H^B) is dominant in males but recessive in females.  The normal gene (Hⁿ)

is dominant in females, but is recessive in males.  Explain how a bald offspring can be produced from the mating of normal female with a normal male.  Could these parents ever produce a bald girl?  Explain

When a homozygous tall plant with red flowers is crossed with a short plant bearing white flowers, what will the phenotypes of the offspring be for the next two generations?  Indicate the crosses fully showing the genotypes of the P₁and P₂ generations, the gametes, and the F₁ and F₂ offspring.  Note: In this species, tallness (T) is dominant to shortness (t).  A red (R¹) flower is crossed with a white flower (R²) flower produces pink (R¹R²) flowers.  

In a certain species of plants, scented and odorless flowers occur, together with hairy and smooth stems.  A scented, smooth-stemmed plant was crossed with a fully homozygous odorless plant with hairy stems.  Indicate the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and offspring that would produce four kinds of phenotypes among the offspring, in equal numbers (1:1:1:1).  Assume scented and smooth are dominant
