The creature the “Flying Purple People Eater” (FPPE) was made famous in a 1958 song by the same name. What is less commonly known is that this species has several color types. Purple is dominant (P) and orange is recessive (p). The ability to fly is also a genetic trait and is recessive (f). Both of these traits are located very close together on the same chromosome. The FPPE is purple (of course) and can fly (of course). Given these traits which genotypes could FPPE have? [ans1] Are these traits linked or unlinked? [ans2] FPPE’s finds a mate (named Qwerty) who is purple and cannot fly. One of Qwerty’s parents was orange and could fly. What is the genotype of that parent of Qwerty’s? [ans3] What is Qwerty’s genotype? [ans4] Assuming no crossing over, with regard to color and flying what types of gametes can Qwerty create? [ans5]

Red-green color deficiency is a X-linked recessive trait in humans. Two people with normal color vision have a male (XY) child with red-green color deficiency. What are the genotypes of the parents with regard to color vision? (Xc is used to indicate the color deficiency allele and X is used to indicate no color deficiency) [ans1] If the same couple later had a female (XX) child, what would be the possible genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of that child? Genotype [ans2] Phenotype [ans3] *for all questions we are assuming no new mutations for this trait
