A culture of white-eyed fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) was maintained for many
generations. Females from the stock white-eyed culture were crossed with red-eyed
(wild-type) males. The F1 females were crossed with the white-eyed males from the
original culture. The resulting phenotypes of the progeny are summarized below.
Parental Generation Cross
F1 Generation (at least 500 flies)
100% of females are red-eyed
100% of males are white-eyed
White-eyed females x red-eyed males
F1 Generation Cross
F2 Generation (at least 500 flies)
Fl red-eyed females x white-eyed males
50% of females are red-eyed and 50% are white-
eyed
50% of males are red-eyed and 50% are white-eyed
21. The best explanation for the red-eyed F1 females is
(A) mutation
(B) culture contamination
(C) dominance
(D) multiple loci
(E) sex-influenced traits
22. There are white-eyed females in the F2 generation because
(A) white is a dominant allele
(B) the white allele is autosomal
(C) a mutation has occurred
(D) these F2 females have two white alleles
(E) the white allele is located on the Y chromosome
23. Which of the following best describes the mode of inheritance of eye color in the white
culture?
(A) Autosomal
(B) Dominant
(C) Located on the Y chromosome
(D) Sex-linked
(E) Lethal
24. Assume that genes A and B are not linked. If the probability of allele A in a gamete is 1/2
and the probability of allele B in a gamete is 1/2, then the probability that both A and B
are in the same gamete is
(A) 1/2 x 1/2
(B) 1/2 + 1/2
(C) 1/2 1/2
(D) 1/2
(E) 1/2 x 1/2
25. A couple has 5 children, all sons. If the woman gives birth to a sixth child, what is the
probability that the sixth child will be a son?
(A) 5/6
(B) 1/2
(C) 1/5
(D) 1/6
(E) 1/64
