Question

Crosses showing flower color and shape combinations with resulting F1 genotypes and phenotypic ratios for given crosses.

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together. A fruit fly which is hetero cygnus for gray body normal wings and red eyes is crossed with a fruit fly having the same genotype, what proportion of their offspring will have home as aegis? Gray body normal wings and red eyes assume that no crossing over takes place. So we have an L. L. For body wings and eyes. So let's go ahead and denote B. As the allele for body G. As elio for wings, N. E. Z. L. E. O. For eyes. And so we know that we have a fruit fly that is hetero zegas for gray body, normal wings and red eyes so that fruit flies genotype looks like this and we are crossing it with the fruit fly that has the same genotype so it looks just like the first one and we want to figure out what the proportion of their offspring will be home as agus for gray body, normal wings and red eyes. Which is this. So to solve this question, we're going to go ahead and do the cross and we're going to use the fork line method. So we know that the proportions of crossing the two hetero ziggy's genotype together gives us that 1 to 1, means that we have 1/4 rbb one half are that hetero zegas and then 1/4 are the Houma zegas recessive. And so since we're trying to figure out the home as a guest for the dominant? We only need to focus on the home is dominant. So since we're going to cross the heterosexual or wings, we also end up with that 1 to 1 ratio. So we have 1/4 1 half and 1/4. You have 1/4 Homolka's I guess dominant, one half and then 1/4 home as a guest recessive. And then lastly we're going to cross the heterosexual guys for eye color, which also gives us that 1 to 1 ratio. So we have 1/4 1 half and 1/4 Hamas is dominant, Vegas and Hamas against excessive. And since we're looking at the home as ideas for great body normal wings and red eyes, we're focusing on here here and here. And so we use all three of those proportions. So we have 1/4 times 1/4 times 1/4. Because those are the proportions of getting that home as a guest dominant. Or body wings and eyes when we use the fork line method and we multiply them together because of the product rule and we end up with 1/64 which is answer choice D. The correct answer. Because when we cross that heterosexuals, fruit fly for gray body normal wings and red eyes with another fruit fly that has the same genotype, the proportion of their offspring that will be homesickness for gray body Normal wings and red eyes is 1/64 because each trait is 1/ proportion multiplied by each other to give us that 1/64, which is answer choice d. The correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
