Q: Experimentally, how do you think researchers were able to determine that
Experimentally, how do you think researchers were able to determine that the Y chromosome causes maleness in mammals, whereas the ratio of X chromosomes to the sets of autosomes causes sex determinati...

Explain why the reciprocal cross yields a different result from the first cross.
See AnswerQ: In Morgan’s experiments, which result do you think is the most
In Morgan’s experiments, which result do you think is the most convincing piece of evidence pointing to X-linkage of the eye color gene? Explain your answer.
See AnswerQ: In his original studies of Figure 3.18, Morgan first
In his original studies of Figure 3.18, Morgan first suggested that the original white-eyed male had two copies of the white-eye allele. In this problem, let’s assume that he meant t...

How would you set up crosses to determine if a gene is Y-linked versus X-linked?
See AnswerQ: Occasionally during meiosis, a mistake can happen whereby a gamete may
Occasionally during meiosis, a mistake can happen whereby a gamete may receive zero or two sex chromosomes rather than one. Bridges made a cross between white-eyed female flies and red-eyed male flies...
See AnswerQ: Let’s suppose that you have made a karyotype of a female fruit
Let’s suppose that you have made a karyotype of a female fruit fly with red eyes and found that it has three X chromosomes instead of the normal two. Although you do not know its par...
See AnswerQ: With regard to thickness and length, what do you think chromosomes
With regard to thickness and length, what do you think chromosomes would look like if you microscopically examined them during interphase? How would that compare with their appearance during metaphase...
