Answer:

A) tortoiseshell female; black male

Explanation:

Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.

<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:

  • XᵒXᵒ: black female
  • XᵒY: black male
  • XᴼXᴼ: orange female
  • XᴼY: orange male
  • XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female

<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>

<h3>XᵒXᵒ  x  XᴼY</h3>

The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.

The possible offspring therefore is:  XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.

You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).
