You decide to do a summer internship aboard the Belafonte with Captain Zissou. They've given up on jaguar sharks and are instead study inheritance patterns in black dragonfish. Particularly, they are interested in figuring out what causes other fish to have large barbels (the whisker-like appendages near fish mouths), where the B1 allele results in no barbels and the B2 allele results in large barbels (They don't yet know the mode of inheritance). They've been breeding fish extensively and come up with the following results (assume the parent generation is true breeding): P: Male fish with no barbels X female fish with large barbels F1: Male fish with no barbels and female fish with large barbels F2: 751 male fish with no barbels, 249 male fish with large barbels, 1002 female fish with large barbels. 11 What is the genotype of the female F1? 1. X-linked 2. Y-linked 3. Sex-influenced 4. Sex-limited 5. XB1XB2 6. XB1XB1 7. XB2XB2 18 Considering ONLY THE F2 MALE OFFSPRING: What is the probability that a 8. XB1y 9. XB2y new offspring born from the F1 generation (a new F2 offspring) will be male 10. B1B1 with large barbels? 11. B1B2 1 What is the mode of inheritance for large 12. B2B2 barbels? 13. XYB2 12 12 What is the genotype of the original female parent (P generation)? 14. XYB1 15. 1/2 16. O 17. 3/4 18. 1/4 19. 3/8 20. 1/8
