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 Drosophila, a cross was made between females—all expressing the three X-linked recessive traits scute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v)—and wild-type males. In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1000 offspring were counted, with the results shown in the following table.

A recessive mutation with bright eyes was discovered and shown also to be on chromosome 3. A map was obtained by crossing a female who was heterozygous for all three mutations to a male homozygous for the bright red mutation (temporarily will be called br). The following data were obtained.

- A mutation of Drosophila has a wing condition known as beaded. When a beaded fly was crossed with a pure-line normal fly, 53 beaded and 47 normal F1 's were produced. When two of the F, beaded flies were mated, 67 beaded and 33 normal F2's were produced. Explain the genetics of the beaded trait and give the genotypes of all P and F1 generation flies.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, a cross was made between females and wild-type males. The female parents expressed the three X-linked recessive traits miniature wing (m), ebony body (e) and cinnabar eye (c). In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1500 offspring were produced. 412 403 211 Miniature wing, ebony body, cinnabar eye Wild type Ebony body, cinnabar eye Miniature wing Miniature wing, cinnabar eye Ebony body Miniature wing, ebony body Cinnabar eye 224 103 96 23 28 (i) Using proper nomenclature, determine the genotypes of the females and males in generation P and F1.

Close examination reveals that one member of chromosome IV (the smallest chromosome) is attached to (translocated to) the end of chromosome II. If this male mates with a female with a normal chromosome composition who is homozygous for the recessive chromosome IV mutation eyeless (genotype = ee), what would be the eye genotypes, eye phenotypes, and total number of chromosomes in all potential offspring if the male is homozygous for the wild-type allele (EE)? put a table for punnet squarearrow_forward

Wild-type flies have red eyes, but another mutation, an X-linked recessive mutation causes white eyes. You cross a parental generation of males with vestigial wings with females that have white eyes. 1) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F1 generation from such a cross? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies? (e.g. males with red eyes and wild-type wings). 2) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F2 generation? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies?arrow_forwardIn the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cMarrow_forward
