Chapter 3, Problem 3P

In a test of his chromosome theory of heredity, Morgan crossed an F1 female Drosophila with red eyes to a male with white eyes. The F1 females were produced from Cross A shown in Figure 3.19. Predict the offspring Morgan would have expected under his hypothesis that the gene for eye color is on the X chromosome in fruit flies.

Drosophila females heterozygous for three recessive mutations, a, b, and c , were crossed to males homozygous for all three mutations.The cross yielded the following results:  in the image  Q. Construct a linkage map showing the correct order of these genes and estimate the distances between them.
In DrosophilaI, yellow body (y), crossveinless (cv), and forked bristles (f) are all found in the X chromosome, in that order. Yellow is 14 map units from crossveinless, and crossveinlessis 32 map units from forked. A yellow, forked female is crossed to a crossveinless male. An F1 female is crossed to a yelow, crossveinless, forked male, yielding the F2 generation. In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless and forked, but not yellow? Assume a coefficient of coincidence of 1.  In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that are completely wild type? In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless, but not yellow or forked?
In Drosophila, red eyes is the wild-type phenotype. There are several different genes that affect eye colour. One allele causes purple eyes, and a different allele causes sepia eyes. When flies with purple eyes were crossed with flies with sepia eyes, all of the F1 offspring had red eyes. The F1 offspring were allowed to mate with each other and the following data were obtained: 146 purple eyes201 sepia eyes444 red eyes Formulate a hypothesis that you think is consistent with the observed data. Test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesis.
