Document Summary
Problems from book to hand in (4 points): Required problems 1. 6; 2. 12, 2. 22; 3. 3, 3. 4, 3. 6, 3. 10, 3. 23. Recommended problems: 2. 11, 2. 23 (we did not cover part c, about plant endosperm), Also, turn in the following problems assigned by me (6 points): consider the gene a, which has two alleles, a and a. List all possible monohybrid crosses for this pair of alleles (including boring ones like aa x aa), and diagram the. How many different types of gametes can be produced by each parent? (1 point: in fruit flies (drosophila melanogaster), the bn+ allele for normal dull red eyes is dominant to the bn allele that gives brown eyes. Another gene affects wing shape; for this gene, the ct+ allele for normal wings is dominant to the ct allele, which gives cut wings, with jagged edges.
