Question

In Drasophila the recessive alleles for brown and scarlet eye(two unlinked genes) interact so that the double recessive homozygote show white eyes. If a pure-breeding brown fly is crossed to a pure-breeding brown fly is crossed to a pure-breeding scarlet fly what proportion of the F_2 will be white? The maize genes sh are bz are linked and 30 map unit apart. If a plant sh' bz/sh bz' is self-fertilized what proportion of the progency will be homozygous whildtype for both genes? What does a bacterial transposon look like?

Explanation / Answer

15. option a 1/16 will be white if pure breeding is done between the scarlet and purple , the F 2 generation .

16 . option B 0.15 mapunits

17. option D , insertion sequences flanked by the inverted repeats .

19. option B variable expressivity .

20. option a , yes they can if they are hetrozygous with AO blood group.

21 Option b ,plum eye is a lethal allele .

option 18 and 23 i am not sure of answer ;

18 . Option c , three

19. option d ,75
