Question

mead. Use the cross explained in Question 20 to answer questions 20-23 20 In fruit flies, gray body is dominant over ebony body, and long short wing. A male fruit fly, heterozygous for gray with a female fruit fly with ebony body and homozygous for long wings. What is the P wings are dominant over body and having short wings is crossed generation? C. Ggll x gELL D. Ggll x ggll 21.- What is the probability of producing an offspring with the genotype Ggli? A, 0% B. 25% C. 50% D. 100% 22 What is the probability of producing an offspring with the genotype 8Lu? A.096 B. 25% C. 50% D. 100% 23.-- what is the probability of producing an offspring with the genotype GgLL? A.096 B. 25% C. 50% D. 100%

Explanation / Answer

20.Correct answer is: C.Ggll * ggLL

Reason: Heterozygous gray means both dominant and recessive alleles are present while homozygous recessive/dominant means both the alleles are either recessive or dominant respectively.

Let us cross Ggll *ggLL to get all the answers from 21-23.

Ggll :gametes will be :Gl,GI,gI,gl

ggLL :gametes will be : gL,gL,gL,glL

21.From the punnet square above , we can say 21 labelled i.e GgLl are 8 in number.So, probability is 8/16* 100 = 50%.Correct answer is :C.50%

22..From the punnet square above , we can say 22 labelled i.e ggLl are 8 in number.So, probability is 8/16* 100 = 50%.Correct answer is :C.50%

23..From the punnet square above , we can say GgLL is not present.So, probability is 0.Correct answer is :A.0%
