In a complementation cross between Drosophila wiltype(brown eyes). you get a 9:3:3:1 ratio with white eyes being the lowest ratio. what would account for the viabilty of this white mutant strain compared to the brown eyes wild type. additionally why would we see a more robust female population than male population.

In a drosophila , the allele for normal wing length is dominant over the allele for short wings. In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 show the recessive phenotype. How many individuals would you expect to be homozygous dominant for the trait.
A dominant mutation in Drosophila called Delta causes changes in wing morphology in Delta/Delta+ heterozygotes. Homozygosity for mutant alleles (Delta/Delta) is lethal prior to the adult stage. In a population of 150 adult flies, it was determined that 60 had normal wings and 90 had abnormal wings. What is the frequency of the mutant Delta allele in this population?
Tomato Plants In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit (FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellow and oval fruit (ffrr). The red and round F1 progeny were then testcrossed to plants that were homozygous recessive for both genes (ffrr) with the following results: Phenotypes Number of Offspring Red and round 2 255 Red and oval 290 Yellow and round 310 Yellow and oval 2 145 Part A: Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio in lowest terms. Part B: Convert the expected phenotypic ratio from Part A into the expected probability for each of the four phenotypes and record them in the table below. Calculate the probability for each of the four phenotypes observed in the cross from the data presented at the beginning of the question by dividing the number of progeny in each class by the total number of progeny and record these in the table below.

Spoink is a Pokemon character with a spring tail. It must bounce continuously or it will die. Imagine that the spring in the tail is controlled by a single gene with two alleles T and t. Individuals with the genotype TT have very stiff tails that take a lot of energy to bounce, Tt have just the right amount of spring, and those with tt tails have very floppy tails that deform after long periods of bouncing, making it very difficult to continue bouncing. The genotype frequency in this population is: TT=25% Tt=70% tt=5% Part A: The frequency of the t allele in the population is ___%. The expected frequency of the Tt genotype in the population is ___%. Part B: Is the population of Spoink in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? A. Yes B. No Rationale? Part C: What type of selection, if at all, might be operating on Spoink tails springy-ness? A. Stabilizing Selection B. Balancing Selection C. Directional Selection D. Disruptive Selection E. No selection is occurring; population is in…

In Drosophila melanogaster, wing shape is an autosomal trait. Vestigal wing is recessive (v) to the dominant trait for the normal long wings (V). In a mainland source population, the allele frequency of v is 0.02 . A small, experimental population of 100 flies was introduced on an island and had 20 flies with vestigal wings and 40 heterozygotes. What are the allele frequencies of V and v in this introduced population? What proportion (%) of heterozygotes and homozygous recessive flies would you expect to see after a few generations of mating on this island? What phenomenon of population genetics does this experiment demonstrate? p+q=1, p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
