n Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn and ct+ is crossed to a sn+ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows: genotype number sn ct 15 sn ct+ 34 sn+ ct 33 sn+ct+ 18 What is the map distance between sn and ct?

- Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?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, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial wings and a wild-type (WT) female(brown body and normal wings). The F1 generation consisted of WT males and WT females. The F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow males with WT wings, 15 brown males with vestigial wings, 49 WT males, 31 brown females with vestigial wings, and 97 WT females. Based on these results, explain the inheritance of the two genes (i.e. autosomal or sex-linked, dominant or recessive).. In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), the bn+ allele for normal dull red eyes is dominant to the bn allele that gives brown eyes. Another gene affects wing shape; for this gene, the ct+ allele for normal wings is dominant to the ct allele, which gives “cut” wings, with jagged edges. A fly with dull red eyes and normal wings was crossed with a fly that had dull red eyes and cut wings, and the following progeny were obtained: 16 dull red eyes, normal wings 14 dull red eyes, cut wings 5 brown eyes, normal wings 5 brown eyes, cut wings What were the genotypes of the parents?
- In beetles, an X-linked gene determines body size, with normal size (M)completely dominant to miniature body size (m). Body color is determined by an autosomal gene with two alleles, where B is incompletely dominant to b such that BB beetles are black, Bb beetles are brown and bb beetles are yellow. Male beetles are heterogametic (XY). The following cross is performed: brown, miniature sized body female X brown, normal sized body male Based on this information, which of the following statements is FALSE? Select 3 correct answer(s) Question 3 options: A) 1/8 of the female progeny will have yellow miniature bodies. B) All of the male progeny will have miniature bodies. C) 1/4 of the total progeny will be black. D) 1/4 of the male progeny will have yellow miniature bodies. E) All of the female progeny will have miniature bodies.…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.Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If instead of the above, assume the wing shape gene and the body color gene are completely linked. From parents that are curled winged with brown bodies mated to straight winged with black bodies, what would be the outcome of an F1 intercross? (Specify the phenotypes and the frequency of each expected).
- A cross in Drosophila melanogaster involved the recessive X-linked genes for white eye (w), yellow body (y), and cut wings (c). A wild-type tri-hybrid female was crossed with wild-type males and only the male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the results shown below, which of the choices shown best represents the genetic map of the three loci on the X-chromosome? Phenotype Male Offspring + y ct 494 w + + 394 + + ct 28 w y + 35 + y + 105 w + ct 101 w y ct 5 + + + 3Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If the F1 were backcrossed to the straight, wing brown bodied parent, what phenotypes would be produced among the progeny? What would be the proportion of each phenotype?In Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn+ and ct+ is crossed to a sn ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows sn ct 36 sn ct+ 13 sn+ ct 12 sn+ ct+ 39 What is the map distance between sn and ct?
