Chapter 3, Problem 31.8P
Summary Introduction

To explain: The F1 and F2 generations by a cross between a pure line female Drosophila with brown eyes and short wings and a male from a normal pure line.

Introduction: Each gene has two types of alleles, a dominant and a recessive. In Drosophila melanogaster, the dominant red eye color masks the effect of recessive brown eye color. Similarly, the allele for the long wings masks the effect of an allele that codes for the short wings.

In Drosophila, the brown mutation (bw, chromosome 2, position 104.5) results in brown eyes, while miniature (min, chromosome X, position 36.1) results in wings that are 2/3 the length of wild type. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings.   Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

In Drosophila melanogaster, vestigial (short) wings (vg) are caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a gene pair that influences body hair.  Hairy (h ) results in a  hairy  body.   A cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and a normal body.  The phenotypically normal F1 flies were crossed among each other and 1024 F2 flies were reared.  What phenotypes would you expect in the F2 and in what actual numbers (not ratio) would you expect to find them?
In fruit flies, red eyes (pr+_) are dominant to purple eyes (prpr) and normal wings (vg+_) are dominant to vestigial wings (vgvg). The genes are located on the same chromosome. A purebreeding red-eyed fly with vestigial wings was crossed with a pure-breeding purple-eyed fly with normal wings. All of the F1 progeny had a WT phenotype. The recombination frequency between the two genes is 15%. If an F1 individual was test crossed, what percentage of the progeny would you expect to have the WT phenotype
