The genes for mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 18 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male, and the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to mahogany-ebony males. Of 942 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes and in what numbers would they be expected?

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 mutant genes for vestigial wings and singed bristles are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. Assume that a vestigial-winged female was mated to a singed-bristle male, and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild type females were mated to vestigial singed males. Of 1000 offspring, which phenotype class would represent the product of crossing over between the genes, and how many would you expect? a) vestigial, 300 flies b) vestigial, 150 flies wild type, 300 flies d) singed, 150 flies e) vestigial, singed double mutants, 150 flies
In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In the F1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye and body color, while all the males had wild-type eye color but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males and females were mated to each other, the F2 was composed of: 216 females with wild-type eyes and wild-type bodies 223 females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 191 males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 188 males with raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies 23 males with wild-type eyes and bodies 27 males with raspberry eyes and sable bodies Which statements are consistent with the above data? (Select all correct answers.) The alleles causing the raspberry-colored eye and sable-colored body phenotypes are dominant to the corresponding wild-type alleles The genes controlling raspberry-colored eyes and sable-colored bodies map…
Assume that the genes for yellow body and mini wings are 35 map units apart on chromosome I in Drosophila. Assume also that a yellow-bodied female was mated to a mini-winged male and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to yellow-bodied, mini-winged males. Of 600 offspring, what would be the expected number of wild-type offspring? 210 195 105 390 The answer is NOT 195.
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 Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes (instead of normal brownish-red eyes) were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable- colored bodies (instead of normal brown bodies). In the F, generation, all the females had wild-type eye and body color, while all the males had wild-type eye color but sable-colored bodies. When F, males and females were mated, the F generation was composed of: 216 females with wild-type eyes and bodies 223 females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 191 males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 188 males with raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies 23 males with wild-type eyes and bodies 27 males with raspberry eyes and sable bodies. Explain these results by diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances.
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 = 150
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, a cross was made between a yellowbodied male with vestigial (not fully developed)wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-typefemales. F1 males and females were crossed, and theF2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males withvestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normalwings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigialwings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied femaleswith vestigial wings, and 97 wild-type females.Explain the inheritance of the two genes in questionbased on these results.

In theF1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye andbody color, while all the males had wild-type eyecolor but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males andfemales were mated, the F2 generation was composedof 216 females with wild-type eyes and bodies, 223females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 191males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 188 maleswith raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies, 23 maleswith wild-type eyes and bodies, and 27 males withraspberry eyes and sable bodies. Explain these resultsby diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances
