Plaid Pooh

can somebody please help me with these genetics problems?

1. Pooh had a colony of tiggers whose stripes went across the body. His American penpal, Yogi, sent him a tigger whose stripes tan lengthwise. When Pooh crossed it with one of his own animals, he obtained plaid tiggers. Interbreeding among the plaid tiggers produced litters of a majority of plaid members but some crosswise and lengthwise- striped animals were also produced. Diagram the crosses made by Pooh showing the genotypes of the tiggers that account for the coat patterns observed.

2.A female Drosophila fly, heterozygous for the recessive genes sable body and minature wings was mated with a sable-bodied , minature-winged male and the following progeny were obtained:
249 normal body, normal wings
20 sable , normal
15 normal, minature
216 sable , minature
From these results would you conclude that the two gene pairs involved are linked or unlinked? Explain your answer/

1. Incomplete dominance is responsible for the plaid trait. The gene Sx produces crosswise while the gene Sl produces lengthwise stripes.

X-stripes (SxSx X L-stripes (SlSl)

Plaid stripes (SxSl) have one gene each for crosswise and lengthwise.

Plaid stripes (SxSl) X Plaid stripes (SxSl)
Gametes Sx, Sl Sx, Sl

Offsring 1 X-stripes to 2 Plaid to 1 Length stripes

2. The genes were linked. The crossing over produced the new gene combinations in the offspring.

How to Create a Handmade Children's Quilt or Crib Quilt

How to Create a Handmade Children's Quilt or Crib Quilt

 

1. A handmade children’s quilt or crib quilt lasts for beyond even the child’s toys or playthings, because they are gifts of a lifetime.

            Jack and Jill with their pail of water, Winnie the Pooh, or other story book characters do not have to adorn the tops of children’s quilts or crib quilts for them to be favorites today.  Children’s quilts can be replicas or smaller versions of adult quilts. When designing the children’s quilt, look first for fabrics.  The soft baby flannels, minx, quilters cottons each bring a uniquely soft texture to the quilt, which allow for the cozy, cuddly feeling.  The novelty and solid collection of colors and designs, adds to the gorgeous prints and plaids that make up the 100% cotton quilt flannel materials and cottons.  These arrays of colors, designs for boys or girls are as endless as your imagination.  From the  traditional trains, planes, ABC’s, and ducks for boys to the dolls, flowers, and kittens for girls, the patterns and designs you use, the materials, colors, and textures now create a uniquely one-of-a-kind children’s quilt or crib quilt.  More traditional quilt designs include the four and nine patch, the star, and the appliqué designs, which bring the 19th Century children’s quilt approach into a more modern day designing.  The most common and often used is the patch work, that offers the flexibility to encompass all materials, color, and textures of materials, yet provides for an easy pattern that even the most novice of quilters to attempt, as they design and set out to hand make their children’s quilt or crib quilt for their special gift.

            Where do you begin?  Take a trip to your local fabric store, browse the materials, feel the textures, match the colors and choose the ones right for your specials “little one.”  Once you’ve made your choice, wash and lightly iron the fabrics before you begin to cut or sew.  Take your time, and relax making your quilt.  If you need help, call or ask another quilter.  If there is no one in your family or circle of friends that is a quilter, check your local organizations for a quilt guild in your area or look for them online.  Any quilter would be happy to share “their passion” with you and answer all of your questions.  Just ask.  Remember your making a gift for a life time.  Pour your heart into your children’s quilt or crib quilt and watch that keepsake quilt in the hands of the child, who received it as your gift.  It’s truly worth every minute of your time.

            Time to quilt.
