In Drosophila melanogaster, a yellow-bodied (dark coloured) male with vestigial (underformed) wings is crossed to a wildtype female (brown body, red eyes). The F1 generation are all wildtypes. An F1 male and female are crossed and the F2 progeny consists of 16 vestigial-winged males with yellow bodies, 48 yellow males with normal wings, 15 males with vestigial wings and yellow bodies, 49 wildtype males, 31 vestigial winged females with brown bodies and 97 wildtype females. Explain the inheritance pattern of the 2 genes.

In Drosophila, two genes, one for body color and one for eye color, are carried on the same chromosome. The wild-type gray body color is dominant to black body color, and wild-type red eyes are dominant to purple eyes. You make a cross between a fly with gray body and red eyes and a fly with black body and purple eyes. Among the offspring, about half have gray bodies and red eyes and half have black bodies and purple eyes. A small percentage have: (a) black bodies and red eyes; or (b) gray bodies and purple eyes. What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes in each of the flies used in the cross? What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes of the F1 flies with black bodies and red eyes, and those with gray bodies and purple eyes?
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?
The dominant C allele of a gene that controls color in corn produces kernels with color; plants homozygous for a recessive c allele of this gene have colorless or white kernels. What kinds of gametes, and in what proportions, would be produced by the plants in the following crosses? What seed color, and in what proportions, would be expected in the offspring of the crosses? a. CCCc b. Cccc c. CcCc
You conduct a cross in Drosophila that produces only half as many male as female offspring. What might you suspect as a cause?
In addition to the two genes in problem 4, assume you now study a third independently assorting gene that has the alleles C and c. For each of the following genotypes, indicate what types of gametes will be produced: a. AA BB CC b. Aa BB Cc c. Aa BB cc d. Aa Bb Cc
In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?
A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
2. In Drosophila, gray body color is dominant to ebony body color, while long wings are dominant to vestigial wings. Assuming that the F1 individuals are homozygous, work the following crosses through the F2 generation, and determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for each generation. (a) gray, long × ebony, vestigial
1. A male fruit fly, heterozygous for both vestigial wings and ebony body, is crossed with a female homozygous for normal wings and heterozygous for ebony body. What fraction of their offspring will have normal wings and an ebony body?
1. In Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) experiment, if we are going to cross male and female red-eyed fruit flies, we have the resulting offspring ratio of 50% red-eyed for female, 25 % for red-eyed male and 25% for white-eyed male. Females which are either homozygous or heterozygous for a trait still expressed eye redness whereas males can easily be affected. Why is this so? a. Females are the carriers of a gene for eye redness b. Y chromosome is responsible for red eyes in fruit flies, c. The gene for eye redness is an X-link dominant trait, d. Having a red-eyed trait is dominantly expressed by females
