    Hi,
    so i've tried the crosses and if this is right,
    I effing done it wrong in my exam :(:(

    ill add the other ans in a min


    (b) In the fruit fly, Drosophila, the allele for grey body (G) is dominant to the allele for ebony body (g)
    and the allele for long wings (L) is dominant to the allele for vestigial wings (l). These two pairs of
    alleles are located on different chromosome pairs.
    (i) Determine all the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny of the following cross:
    grey body, long wings (heterozygous for both) X ebony body, vestigial wings.



    ANS:

    X X X Y
    F1 genotype:
    X X X Y
    g G g G
    l L l L

    F1 gametes Xgl XGL Xgl YGL

    F2 gametes XXglgl XYglGL XXGLgl XYGLGL

    F2 phenotype FEMALE EBONY, SHORT WINGS x1
    MALE GERY,LONG WINDS x1
    MALE GREY, LONG WINGS x2




    (c) Haemophilia in humans is governed by a sex-linked allele. The allele for normal blood clotting (N)
    is dominant to the allele for haemophilia (n).
    (ii) Determine the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny of the following cross:
    haemophilic male X heterozygous normal female.
    it doesnt say if the female is hetro/homozeygous though!!

    X X X Y
    N N N n
    XXNN XYNn XXNN XYNn
    Female, normal clotting x2
    Male, normal clotting x2

    im an idiot ur right i got it right as well tho :P

    didnt read ur answer properly :P but dont think you had to say male/female cuz if you did i think u have that part wrong :P you will get 1 female grey long vestgian wings and 1 male



    other's answer

    1 female haemophiliac
    1 female carrier
    1 male haemophiliac
    1 male carrier

    If they don't ask for it don't give it.

    The cross would be;

    GgLl ggll

    G,g,L,l g,l

    Gg gg Ll ll

    Genoptype

    GgLl ggll Ggll ggLl
    25% 25% 25% 25%

    Phenotype

    Grey with long wings 25%
    Grey with small wings 25%
    Ebony with long wings 25%
    Ebony with short wings 25%

    It didn't ask anything about the sex of the fly though.

    GgLl x ggll

    Gametes: GL, Gl, gL, gl x gl

    Possible genotypes: GgLl, GGll, ggLl, ggll

    Possible phenotypes: Grey body, long wings (GgLl)
    Grey body, vestigial wings (GGll)
    Ebony body, long wings (ggLl)
    Ebony body, vestigial wings (ggll)

    correct my friend :) dont have to list % either unless they ask for ratios or %

    For the haemophiliac one i got

    1 normal heterozygous female (carrier)
    1 haemophilic female
    1 normal male
    1 haemophilic male

    wrong?

    no ur correct as long as ur "normal male" was heterozygous, i just wrote down carrier to clarify

    It better be, I am going a genetics dagree after all. Your right about the % tho, I just always added them anyway.

    wrong me thinks, u missed the grey long wings


    having a dad as a doctor really helped LOL :)

    How can I be wrong if u just told the other guy that he was right when I had the same answer as him apart from the fact that I said "vestigial" as it says in the Q instead of "short" as he did.

    I didn't miss grey, long wings..it's there!

    How could a male be a carrier is it is linked to the X gene?

    A male either expresses it or is normal.

    That is to say n or N.

    A male can NOT be NN Nn or nn

    can you not have X.N+Y.n cuz thats a male carrier i think :O?

    N,n is only on the X, Y is to small to have a N,n


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 Riverperson


    It's not possible to have a male carrier.
    Like was said above it is the X chromosome that determines whether it is a sufferer or not. So you either get a haemophiliac or normal.
    Yay, my crosses were all right. Score! Full marks for one q at least. :)
