Exam 4: Modification of Mendelian Ratios

The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)is inherited as a recessive gene on the X chromosome in humans.A phenotypically normal woman (whose father had G6PD)is married to a normal man. (a)What fraction of their sons would be expected to have G6PD? (b)If the husband had G6PD,would it make a difference in your answer in part (a)?

The genes for zeste eyes and forked bristles are located on the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster.Both genes are recessive.A cross is made between a zeste-eyed female and a forked-bristled male. (a)If 200 offspring from this cross were obtained,present the expected number,sex,genotype,and phenotype in each class of the F₁. (b)If the F₁ offspring were crossed to produce 800 flies of an F₂ generation,present the expected number,sex,and phenotype in each class.Assume no crossing over.

The trait for medium-sized leaves in iris is determined by the genetic condition PP'.Plants with large leaves are PP,whereas plants with small leaves are P'P'.The trait for red flowers is controlled by the genes RR,pink by RR',and white by R'R'.A cross is made between two plants each with medium-sized leaves and pink flowers.If they produce 320 seedlings,what would be the expected phenotypes,and in what numbers would they be expected?
