[SOLVED] Calculate the phenotypes for f1 and f2 progeny for each of the following crosses.
Help me study for my Biology class. Im stuck and dont understand.
Genetic Inheritance Format for Exp. 1
Typed Genetic Inheritance report must be in the following format for full credit in Lab Report #1.
1) Number the figure, e.g., Figure 1.
2) State whether the cross is F1 or F2, as well as the number of the vial, e.g., F1 #215
3) Type out the genetic cross, e.g., Xw/Xw x Xw+/Y
4) State whether the cross is sex-linked, autosomal, or sex-linked and autosomal.
5) Always write the dominant allele first, e.g., bw+/bw
6) Capitalize the X and Y chromosomes. Write the gene names in lower case. Use the superscript function to raise the + sign or the genes on X chromosomes (see #3 & 5 above).
7) State the ratio of offsprings phenotypes and genotypes (see below).
8) Always follow each F1 cross with the F2 cross of the same type (sex-linked F1 followed by sex-linked F2)
EXAMPLE
Figure 1: F1 #??? Sex-linked cross
Xw/Xw x Xw+/Y
Genotypes:
Xw+/Xw = 100% of females
Xw/Y = 100% of males
Phenotypes:
Males are 100% white-eyed
Females are 100% brick red-eyed
Figure 2: F2 #??? Sex-linked cross
Xw+/Xw x Xw+/
cross 1: OR X 109
Cross 2: OR X 212
Cross 3: OR x 305
