QUESTION 6 1 points Save Answer Suppose that a gene affects head size in house flies and is inherited as a maternal effect gene. The gene exists in a normal allele, H, and a recessive allele h, which causes the fly to have a small head. A female fly with a normal head is crossed to a male fly with a small head, and all the offspring have small heads. What are the genotypes of the mother and the offspring at the Head locus? O a. mother-Hn, offspring = hh b, mother-HH, offspring = hh O c. mother-Hn, offspring = Hh d, mother = hh, offspring = Hh OR hh O e, mother-hh, offspring = hh

Explanation / Answer

6. Option e - both are homozygous for small head size. Being matternally inheritted the offspring will have only genes of mother so not crossing over.

7. Option d - black and blue - It combines genes of different types

8. Option C - lanes 2 and 4 The lanes have modified Histones and lower expression forH3K4Me3.
