a. in drosophila's autosomal gene T there are two alleles: T andt. when the reccecive t allele is homozygous, it turns femaledrosophila (XX) into male (phenotypeically only). all those "males"are futile. allele t has no effect on XY male. an hybridization isconducted between heterozygote female for T gene and homozygotemale to the reccecive gene at the same locus. what is the ration ofall the siblings in F2?

b. in an autosomal gene A in drosophila there are 2 alleles: A,a. this gene is lethal when alleles are homozygote. drosophila hasalso an autosomal gene B which is indipendent on A. when B dominantallele is homozygote, it prevents the death of AA siblings only.what will be the siblings ration on the following hybridization:AaBb x AaBB

c. explain what does "Mendelian traits"means

1. If an individual has a genotype of Bb, what types of gametes (sperm/egg) could they produce?
A) B
B) b
C) B or b
D) Bb, BB, bb
E) Bb

2. Which of the following statements is true about phenotypic plasticity, i.e., phenotype variation that is the result of genotype by environment interactions?
A. Phenotypic plasticity is only favored when the parental environment is a good predictor of the offspring environment
B. Since the trait expression of a genotype varies across environments, it cannot respond to selection
C. A variable environment is required for phenotypic plasticity to be selected for
D. A single trait can only ever be plastic or non-plastic within a species
E. Phenotypic plasticity can only occur within a single generation, never across generations

A. Mendelian
B. Exponential
C. Binomial
D. Normal
E. Continuous

10. (Adapted from: Christensen, A. C. (2000). Cats as an aid to teaching genetics. Genetics, 155(3), 999-1004.) ss cats have no white fur, Ss cats generally have <50% white fur, and SS cats generally have >50% white fur (cats who are 100% white are scored as dominant white and can't be scored for piebald spotting). The S allele is incompletely dominant, but variably expressed, so there is a more-or-less continuous gradient of white pigmentation in populations. You and your friends score all non-white cats up for adoption: http://www.adoptapet.com/cat-adoption/search/50/miles/48824 and find there are 160 with >50% white fur, 350 with <50% white fur, and 490 with no white fur. Which of the following statements is definitely true:

A. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
B. The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
C. There is selection acting on the population
D. It is impossible to know if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
E. Fur color is not a heritable trait and therefore cannot evolve
