Want to know:
Suppose you cross two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa). After analyzing a large number of viable offspring from this cross, you discover that all the offspring is either AA or Aa. What is the best interpretation of this finding?The A allele is incompletely dominant to aThe a allele is recessive epistatic to the A alleleGene A is a lethal geneGene A is an essential gene

- You are studying three Drosophila genes, vg (vestigial wings), b (black body) and pr (purple eyes) which are located on the same chromosome. You perform a three-point testcross between a female vg b pr / vg+ b+ pr+ fly and a male vg b pr / vg b pr fly (note that genes are arbitrarily ordered when representing the genomes of the flies, as prior to the cross, their order is unknown). Out of a total number of 4197 offspring, you obtain 3433 flies with parental combinations for the three genes, 493 flies that are recombinants for vg relative to parental combinations for b and pr, 249 flies that are recombinants for b relative to parental combinations for vg and pr, and 22 flies that are recombinants for pr relative to parental combinations for vg and b. Based on this data, which gene is located between the other two?
- A transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use 1,200 nucleotides to make a protein consisting of 400 amino acids. This is best explained by the fact thata.many noncoding nucleotides are present in mRNAb.there is redundancy and ambiguity in the genetic codec.many nucleotides are needed to code for each amino acidd.nucleotides break off and are lost during the transcription processe.there are termination exons near the beginning of mRNA
