In Drosophila, sex is determined by a balance between the number of haploid sets of autosomes and the number of ________.

What statements are true?

What is a dominant lethal gene and explain why they are less common than recessive lethals?

Assume that a cross is made between AaBb and aabb plants and the offspring occur in the  following numbers:  106 AaBb,  48 Aabb,   52 aaBb,  94 aabb.  These results are consistent with which of the following?

Given an inheritance pattern of incomplete dominance and 81 flowers that are red (R1R1), 18 flowers that are pink (R1R2), and 1 flower that is white (R2R2), the frequency of the R1 allele is 0.9.

Crossover frequencies for two-point testcrosses are shown below.    Which gene is in the middle?                   jvl and fl: 3%              jvl and e: 13%             fl and e: 11%.   

The Chi-square test involves a statistical comparison between measured (observed) and predicted (expected) values. One generally determines degrees of freedom as ___.

Alleles that have the same phenotypic effect when both homozygous and heterozygous are said to be ______________. 

Which general term is used to group various biological and behavioral properties of organisms that act to prevent or reduce interbreeding?

All genes code for a polypeptide.
