  1. In Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits.

Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :-

D. melanogaster is an ideal model organism due to a variety of characteristics. The main advantage of employing Drosophila is that there are no ethical concerns, which are frequent with mammalian models like monkeys. One of the key advantages is its short life cycle, which allows for the production of a high number of flies in a short amount of time.
