In certain plant species such as tomatoes and petu- nias d highly polymorphic incompatibility genes with more than 100 known alleles prevents self-fer tilization and promotes outbreeding. In this form of incompatibility, a plant cannot accept sperm carry- ing an allele identical to either of its own incompat- ibility alleles. If, for example, pollen carrying sperm with allele S of the incompatibility gene lands onto the stigma (a female organ) of a plant that also carries the S allele, the sperm cannot fer- e any eggs in that plant.

Explanation / Answer

Step 1 of 3

The approximate phenotypic ratio in these offspring is 2/3 Curly (Cy): 1/3 normal (Cy+)

Step 2 of 3

The expected result of this cross is

Cy/Cy X Cy+/Cy = ¼ Cy/Cy: ½ Cy+/Cy (Curly): ¼ Cy+/Cy+ (normal).

When Cy/Cy is recessive lethal, the observed phenotypic ratio will be 2/3 Curly: 1/3 normal.

Step 3 of 3

The progeny of the Cy+/Cy X Cy+/Cy+ cross will be 90 curly winged flies and 90 normal winged flies
