In Drosophila, the gene for wing type is known to be autosomal with vestigial wings (vg) known to the recessive to normal, long wings (+). You are already familiar with the white eye gene (w) from lecture with the normal color being red (+). Answer the following questions assuming an initial cross (P1) between a pure breeding white eyed, long winged female and a pure breeding red eyed vestigial winged male. a) What are the parental genotypes? b) What phenotypes would occur in the F1 generation and in what proportions? c) What would the phenotypes and phenotypic ratios would occur in F2 generation?

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 black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
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?
You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. You cross females of this line with males homozygous for the corresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denote recessive 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 and b? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossing over in Drosophila males.)b. What is the coefficient of coincidence?
In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, Xm causes miniature wings. List the F2 phenotypic ratios if: a miniature-winged female is crossed with a normal male and a miniature-winged male is crossed with a normal female. What would the phenotypic ratio from (a) be if the miniature-winged gene were autosomal? Assume in all cases that the P1 individuals are true-breeding.
Vermilion eye color in Drosophila is sex-linked and recessive. What would be the phenotypes of maleand female progenies of a cross between a vermilion female and wild-type (red) male?
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?
In Drosophila, the following genes and mutations are known: Wing size – recessive allele for tiny wings – t; dominant allele for normal wings – T Eye shape – recessive allele for narrow eyes – d; dominant allele for normal (oval) eyes – D Eye color – recessive allele for white eyes – r; dominant allele for normal (red) eyes – R The following cross is performed and the offspring analyzed – TtDdRr X Ttddrr. Give the probabilities for generating the following offspring a. Flies with at least two recessive traits - Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g. 1/8 b. A trihybrid cross is now performed and the offspring analyzed. What is the probability of getting abnormal flies except for the eye shape which will be normal - Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g. 1/8
Vermillion 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?
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.
The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the F2 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect? Group of answer choices 192 wild type, 256 vestigial, 64 hairy, and 192 vestigial and hairy All vestigial and hairy. 576 wild type, 192 vestigial, 192 hairy, and 64 vestigial and hairy All wild type 256 wild type; 256 vestigial, 256 hairy, and 256 vestigial and hairy
In humans the allele coding for normal metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine (P) is dominant over the recessive autosomal allele (p) that causes the disease phenylketonuria, or PKU. Without treatment, this disease is characterized by brain damage due to the failure of the gene to code correctly for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. If a man marries a woman and both are heterozygous for hemophilia and heterozygous for PKU, what is the chance that they will have a child afflicted by both diseases? Your response MUST include:(a): list the traits involved (example: Color: Blue- B (dominate) Green - b (recessive) -Do not use this example as this is not part of the problem(b): identify if its a monohybrid or dihybrid cross and why (use prompt above) (c): create a punnet square that represents the problem above
Consider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:vestigal; gray; red 580long wings; black; plum 592vestigal; black; red 45long; gray; plum 40vestigal; black; plum 89long; gray; red 94vestigal; gray; plum 3long; black; red 5A total of 1448 progeny were counted.Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?
