Question

Albinism is rabbits can be due to an autosomal mutation in the A gene or the B gene. In a cross between two albino rabbits, all the offspring are albineo. The results of this cross tell us that that the two parents have mutations for albinism in the same gene as each other. True False Eye color in fruit is inherited as an X-linked trait. Two different mutant alleles are being studied-one causes apricot-colored eyes and the other causes white eyes. Assume the wild-type (red) allele is dominant, and the white and apricot alleles are recessive. In a cross between a female fruit fly with apricot eyes and a male with white eyes, all the female progeny have red eyes and all the males have apricot eyes. This tells us that: the apricot and white mutations show complementation the apricot and white alleles are mutations in two different genes the apricot and white alleles are mutations in the same gene as each other a and b a and c In a cross between two people, both of whom are albineo because of autosomal recessive mutations, all the offspring are normal. True/false: This tells us that the two parents carry mutations for albinism in the same gene as each other. True False Complementation testing is used ti determine whether two mutations occur at the same locus (i.e., are allelic) or at two different loci (i.e., are non-allelic). True False
