13. An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either smooth or barbed. The allele for barbs is dominant. In the same organism, resistance to pesticides is a recessive trait. Make a "key" to show all the possible genotypes (and phenotypes) of this organism. Use the rabbit key to help you if you're lost. Key: Barbed = AA Smooth = aa Resistance to pesticide = pp Susceptible to pesticide = Pp 14. A Cyclops that is resistant to pesticides and has smooth antennae is crossed with one that is heterozygous for both traits. Show the genotypes of the parents. aapp x Aa 15. Set up a Punnett square for the cross.

Step 1
First, let's define the key for the Cyclops traits: For the antennae: - Barbed = B (dominant) - Smooth = b (recessive) For the pesticide resistance: - Resistant = r (recessive) - Susceptible = R (dominant) Show more…

In some insects, antennae appearance is governed by simple dominance with fuzzy antennae dominant to spiky antennae. Also, eye color in some insects is governed by incomplete dominance with blue eyes (BB), yellow eyes (bb), and green eyes (Bb) all possible. A green-eyed, spiky antennae-ed insect is mated with an insect who has yellow eyes and is heterozygous for the antennae trait. Using the Punnett square, show what the possible offspring genotypes would be considering the information provided. What are the 4 possible phenotypes for the offspring? What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? ____________________ _______ : _______ : _______ : _______ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
