Refer to the information and figure below to answer the following question(s).
A certain (hypothetical)organism is diploid,has either blue or orange wings as the consequence of one of its genes on chromosome 12,and has either long or short antennae as the result of a second gene on chromosome 19,as shown in the figure.

-If a female of this species has one chromosome 12 with a blue gene and another chromosome 12 with an orange gene,and has both number 19 chromosomes with short genes,she will produce which of the following egg types?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the female's chromosome 12 contains a blue gene and another chromosome 12 contains an orange gene, the possible combinations of alleles in her gametes are:

- Blue gene on chromosome 12 and short gene on chromosome 19
- Blue gene on chromosome 12 and long gene on chromosome 19
- Orange gene on chromosome 12 and short gene on chromosome 19
- Orange gene on chromosome 12 and long gene on chromosome 19

However, the female has both number 19 chromosomes with short genes, so only the first combination is possible. Therefore, she will produce one-half blue short gene eggs and one-half orange short gene eggs. The answer is C.
