In Drosophila melanogaster, cinnabar eye (cn) and vestigial wing (vg) are simple recessive traits. A pure breeding cinnabar fly is crossed with a pure breeding vestigial wing fly and have offspring that are all wild type.

- The recessive allele s causes Drosophila to have small wings, and the s+ allele causes normal wings. This gene is known to be X linked. If a small-winged male is crossed with a homozygous wild-type female, what ratio of normal to small-winged flies can be expected in each sex in the F1? If F1 flies are intercrossed, what F2 progeny ratios are expected? What progeny ratios are predicted if F1 females are backcrossed with their father?In Drosophila, ebony body colour is produced by a recessive gene a and wild-type (gray) body colour by its dominant allele a+. Vestigial wings are governed by a recessive gene vg, and normal wing size (wild type) by its dominant allele vg+. If wild-type dihybrid flies are crossed and produce 256 progeny, how many of these progeny flies are expected in each phenotypic class?In Drosophila, vermilion eye color is due to a recessive allele (v) located on the X chromosome. Curved wings are due to a recessive allele (cu) located on one autosome, and ebony body is due to a recessive allele (e) located on another autosome. A vermilion male is mated to a curved, ebony female, and the F1 males are phenotypically wild-type. If these males were backcrossed to curved, ebony females, what proportion of the F2 offspring will be wild-type males?
- The genes for the recessive traits of mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male and that the resulting F1 females (all phenotypically wild-type) were then mated to mahogany, ebony males. Of 1000 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes, and in what numbers would they be expected? Group of answer choices None of these is correct wild-type = 200; mahogany and ebony = 200; mahogany = 300; ebony = 300 mahogany = 200; ebony = 200; wild-type = 300; mahogany and ebony = 300 wild-type = 350; mahogany and ebony = 350; mahogany = 150; ebony = 150 mahogany = 350; ebony = 350; wild-type = 150; mahogany and ebony = 150The phenotype of crooked wings (cw) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive mutant gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with crooked wings and normal body hair. All F1 flies from this cross were wild-type, and these flies were crossed among each other to produce 288 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the offspring in the F2 generation, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?Female Drosophila heterozygous for three recessive mutations e (ebony body), st (scarlet eyes), and ss (spineless bristles) were testcrossed, and the following progeny were obtained: Phenotype Number wild-type 67 ebony 8 ebony, scarlet 68 ebony, spineless 347 ebony, scarlet, spineless 78 scarlet 368 scarlet, spineless 10 spineless 54 (a) What indicates that the genes are linked? (b) What was the genotype of the original heterozygous females? (c) What is the order of the genes? (d) What is the map distance between e and st? (e) Between e and ss? (f) What is the coefficient of coincidence? (g) Diagram the crosses in this experiment.
- In Drosophila fruit flies, the genes for warped wings (dwp), rumpled bristles (rmp), and pallid wings (pld) are linked. A trihybrid female for all three allleles is crossed with homozygous recessive male for all three alleles and the offspring obtained showed the following phenotypes: 3 pld rmp dwp 428 pld rmp + 427 + + dwp 48 + rmp + 47 pld + dwp 23 pld + + 2 + + + 22 + rmp dwp What is the order and map distance between these three alleles?The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body and b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings and wx+ gives non-waxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes and cn+ gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified with the following phenotypes. 382 cinnabar 379 black, waxy 69 waxy, cinnabar 67 black 48 waxy 44 black, cinnabar 5 wild type 6 black, waxy, cinnabar Based on this data, what is the correct map of these genes in terms of order and distance?In flies, assume black (B) is dominant and green (b) is recessive for abdomen color, and straight (S) is dominant and bent (s) is recessive for antenna shape. Assume also that these genes are found on the same chromosome. If single mutants for each of these genes (green abdomen x bent antenna) are crossed with one another, and you then testcross the resulting offspring, you get the following numbers of each phenotype: black, straight 17 green, bent 12 black, bent 337 green, straight 364 What is the map distance between B and S? You must show and clearly label ALL work
- In Drosophila, white eyes (w) are recessive to red eyes (w+) at one locus and black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b+). A homozygous white eyes, gray bodied female is crossed with a homozygous red eyes, black bodied male to produce the F1 progeny. The F1 progeny are testcrossed and produce the following progeny: White eyes, black body: 212 White eyes, gray body: 288 Red eyes, black body: 308 Red eyes, gray body: 192 Does the evidence indicate that w and b loci are linked? Explain why or why not? If they are linked, what is the map distance between the two loci? If they are not linked, what is the map distance between the two loci? If they are linked, are the allels in the F1 in coupling or repulsion? How do you know? Draw the genotypes of all individuals described in the problem (original parents, F1, testcross, and F2 progeny) using the appropriate notation.In Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-typephenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy. The allele cn ofa third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red. A female heterozygous for these three genes istestcrossed, and 745 progenies are produced which are phenotypically classified as follows:5 b+ wx+ cn+4 b wx cn53 b+ wx cn 49 b wx+ cn+287 b+ wx+ cn279 b wx cn+ 33 b+ wx cn+35 b wx+ cn Make a linkage map of the three genes. Compute for interference and explain what the derived valuemeans. Show complete solutions to support your answers.It is assumed that in Drosophila the following genotypes produce phenotypes. َA- B- = Red color A- bb = Plum color aa B- = Magenta color aa bb = White color The third latent genotype, cc, kills homozygous Plums, but has no effect on other genotypes. Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype. If first-generation Drosophilas are heterozygous for all of these genes and interbreed, what phenotypic ratios are expected in society?
