Expected Fluorescence Phenotype Progeny for a “YES” Cross

Parental Gentotypes: GloGFP/Glo- (Lime Green) X GloBFP/Glo- (Blue)
 
Excitation wavelength*
Progeny genotype 350 nm 480 nm 545 nm
GloGFP/Glo- Will not fluoresce Will fluoresce Will not fluoresce**
GloBFP/Glo- Will fluoresce Will not fluoresce Will not fluoresce
GloGFP /Glo-; GloBFP/Glo- Will fluoresce Will fluoresce Will not fluoresce**
Neither GloGFP nor GloBFP Will not fluoresce Will not fluoresce Will not fluoresce
*

A band of wavelengths was used, and the peak wavelength is listed; **will have only very dim fluorescence.

Note that each genotype gives a different fluorescence pattern. See Table 3 for further explanation of a “YES” cross.
