A D. melanogaster male is homozygous for a translocation between chromosomes 2 and 3.  This fly is otherwise wild-type.  This male is crossed to a female fly that is homozygous for normal chromosome order and is homozygous for dumpy wings (dy), a recessive on chromosome 2 and sepia eyes (se), a recessive on  chromosome 3. A male progeny from the above cross is test-crossed to a female fly that is homozygous for dy and se.  What progeny phenotypes and frequencies are expected from this second cross? Answer choices 1/2 wild-type and 1/2 dumpy and sepia 1/4 wild-type, 1/4 dumpy, 1/4 sepia, 1/4 dumpy and sepia All dumpy and sepia                       2/3 wild-type, 1/3 dumpy and sepia 9/16 wild-type, 3/16 dumpy, 3/16 sepia, 1/16 dumpy and sepia

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
