- In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormal phenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonic development. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? Show COMPLETE cross for both cases. If m-m- females produce useless eggs, then how are m-m- produced?In Drosophila melanogaster white (w) and miniature (m) wings are controlled by X-linked recessive genes with a recombination fruequency between them of approximately 38%. Show the sexes, phenotypes and proportions of offspring expected from the following mating:a. ++/wm female X wm maleb. +m/w+ female X w+ malec. w+/+m female X ++ maleIf we assume that white eyes and miniature wings are not x-linked but are linkedto the autosomal genes, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect from this cross: ++/wm female X ++/wm male?You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. Youcross females of this line with males homozygous for thecorresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denoterecessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type phenotypes): 1364 + + +, 365 a b c, 87 a b +, 84 + + c,47 a + +, 44 + b c, 5 a + c, and 4 + b +.a. What is the recombinant frequency between a andb? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossingover in Drosophila males.)b. What is the coefficient of coincidence?
- In Drosophila melanogaster, ebony body color is determined by the e allele. The e+ allele produces the wild-typehoney-colored body. In heterozygotes, the body is honey-colored except for a dark marking called the trident seen on the thorax. The e+ allele is thus considered to be incompletely dominant to the e allele.a. When female e+ e+ flies are crossed to male e+ e flies, what is the probability that progeny will have the tridentmarking? Animals with the marking mate among themselves. Of 100 progeny, how many would be expected to have a trident, how many would have ebony bodies, and how many would have honey-colored bodies?Drosophila females of wild-type appearance but heterozygous for three autosomal genes are mated with malesshowing the three corresponding autosomal recessivetraits: glassy eyes, coal-colored bodies, and striped thoraxes. One thousand (1000) progeny of this cross aredistributed in the following phenotypic classes:Wild type 27Striped thorax 11Coal body 484Glassy eyes, coal body 8Glassy eyes, striped thorax 441Glassy eyes, coal body, striped thorax 29a. Draw a genetic map based on these data.b. Show the arrangement of alleles on the two homologous chromosomes in the parent females.c. Normal-appearing males containing the samechromosomes as the parent females in the precedingcross are mated with females showing glassy eyes,coal-colored bodies, and striped thoraxes. Of 1000progeny produced, indicate the numbers of thevarious phenotypic classes you would expect.In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormal phenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonic development. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. (A) Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. (B) From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? (C) If m-m- females produce useless eggs, then how are m-m- produced?
- 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?In Drosophila, a cross was made between females expressing thethree X-linked recessive traits, scute bristles (sc), sable body (s),and vermilion eyes (v), and wild-type males. All females were wildtype in the F1, while all males expressed all three mutant traits.The cross was carried to the F2 generation and 1000 offspringwere counted, with the results shown in the following table. Nodetermination of sex was made in the F2 data. Question:Calculate the coefficient of coincidence; does this represent positive or negative interference? Phenotype Offspringsc s v 314+ + + 280+ s v 150sc + + 156sc + v 46+ s + 30sc s + 10+ + v 14Vermillion eye color in Drosophila sp. is a sex-linked recessive trait. What phenotype would be found in this progeny of a cross between a vermillion female and a wild type male?
- Another recessive mutation in Drosophila, ebony (e), is on anautosome (chromosome 3) and causes darkening of the bodycompared with wild-type flies. What phenotypic F1 and F2 maleand female ratios will result if a scalloped-winged female withnormal body color is crossed with a normal-winged ebony male?Work this problem by both the Punnett square method and theforked-line method.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?The recessive, X-linked z1mutation of the Drosophilagene zeste (z) can produce a yellow (zeste) eye coloronly in flies that have two or more copies of the wildtype white (w) gene. Using this property, tandem duplications of the w+ gene called w+Rwere identified.Males with the genotype y+ z1w+R spl+ / Y thus havezeste eyes. These males were crossed to females withthe genotype y z1 w+R spl / y+ z1 w+R spl+. (These fourgenes are closely linked on the X chromosome, in theorder given in the genotype, with the centromere tothe right of all these genes: y = yellow bodies; y+ =tan bodies; spl = split bristles; spl+ = normal bristles.) Out of 81,540 male progeny of these females,the following exceptions were found:Class A 2430 yellow bodies, zeste eyes, wild-type bristlesClass B 2394 tan bodies, zeste eyes, split bristlesClass C 23 yellow bodies, wild-type eyes, wild-type bristlesClass D 22 tan bodies, wild-type eyes, split bristlesa. What were the phenotypes of the remainder of the81,540 males…
