Tatuo Aida investigated the genetic basis of color variation in the Medaka (Aplocheilus latipes), a small fish found in Japan (Aida, 1921). Aida found that genes at two loci (B, b and R, r) determine the color of the fish. Specifically, fish with a dominant allele at both loci (B_R_) are brown, fish with a dominant allele at the B locus only (B_ rr) are blue, fish with a dominant allele at the R locus only (bb R_) are red, and fish with recessive alleles at both loci (bb rr) are white. What results would you expect if you crossed a homozygous red fish with a homozygous blue fish and then backcrossed the Fi with a homozygous red parental fish? The Fı generation is BB RR OB_R Bb Rr The F2 generation is Brown Red genotypes Bb Rr bb Rr Answer Bank Bb RR bb RR BB RR Bb RT bb Rr BB Rr Incorrect

Respuesta :

Backcross offspring received recessive alleles b and r. The alleles received from the other parent thus determine their phenotype:

Brown fish are referred to as Bb Rr, blue fish as Bb rr, red fish as bb Rr, and white fish as bb rr.

b. We anticipate a 1:1:1:1 phenotype ratio.

We cannot reject the hypothesis because df = 4 - 1 = 3; 0.9 p 0.975.

c. A homozygous red fish is bb RR crossed to b and r. All descendants would be bb Rr, or red fish.

d. Red fish bb RR homozygous + blue fish BB rr homozygous

F1 will be all brown because Bb Rr was backcrossed to Bb RR (homozygous red parent)

Backcross progeny will be distributed equally. Bb Rr (brown); Bb Rr (brown).
