In mangos, sweet (T) is dominant to sour (t) and green skin (G) is dominant to yellow skin (g). When a sweet mango with yellow skin was bred to a sweet mango plant with green skin, the following F1 data were obtained: Phenotype # of Progeny sweet, green skin 372 sweet, yellow skin 377 sour, green skin 123 sour, yellow skin 128 Total: 1000 A. What were the genotypes of the parents (parental generation)? B. If one of the sweet mangoes with green skin from the F1 generation was self-fertilized and the progeny displayed a 9:3:3:1 ratio, what would the genotype of that mango plant have to be? C. If two of the sour mangoes with green skin from the F1 generation were crossed together, what kind of phenotypic ratio would you get in the F2 generation?

A population geneticist studying bird populations in the Amazon is trying to determine if a locus known to give bright plumage is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. Below is their observed and expected genotype frequencies. Genotypes Observed Frequencies Expected Frequencies AA (red plumage) 0.42 0.41 Aa (Purple plumage) 0.22 0.27 aa (blue plumage) 0.36 0.32 Based on the observed and expected frequencies, how would you conclude whether the population was in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?

A type of congenital blindness, retinal atrophy, is known to be an X-linked recessive disorder. A female retriever named Juniper was a carrier for the disorder but was unaffected. One fine summer evening, Juniper escaped from her family’s backyard and is now expecting puppies. It is highly suspected that the father of Juniper’s puppies is the neighbor’s dog Oliver. Oliver has retinal atrophy and has deteriorating vision. (Please state your answer to two decimal places.) What is the percent probability that one of Juniper’s male puppies would have retinal atrophy? What is the percent probability that one of Juniper’s female puppies would have retinal atrophy? What is the percent probability that Juniper and Oliver would have two unaffected female puppies? What is the probability that any four of Juniper’s seven puppies will have retinal atrophy %
