1. Explain why color blindness occurs more often in males than in females.
2. In what situation could a male with color blindness have a female offspring that also has color blindness?
3. What is an advantage of using flies as a model organism to study genetics? What do you think a disadvantage might be?
4. Identical twins have the same genetic background. Why might one twin develop heart disease while the other one doesn't?
5. In a dihybrid cross, TTGG and ttgg, list all possible gametes from both parents. Given this, what are the genotypes possible for the F1 offspring?
6. Considering two parents, Ttgg and TtGg, what is the percentage of an homozygous recessive offspring for both traits? What would that genotype look like?
7. In a dihybrid cross of two parents, TtGg and ttgg, what percent of the offspring will have recombinant genotypes and what percent will have parental genotypes? Which genotypes are the recombinants?
