Question:

What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wild-type allele and a recessive mutant allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crosses if a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breeding individual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results if the gene is maternally inherited?
