You are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the “P” generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Answer all the questions below. 3d. You count 1600 offspring in the F2 generation. If the wing and the color traits were linked and no recombination occurred, what would you expect the numbers of: 1. brown winged flies (BbNn) 2. black winged flies (Bbnn) 3. brown wingless flies (bbNn) 4. black wingless flies (bbnn). 3e. What is the genetic distance between the color and wing genes when you count the F2 generation as 85 brown winged flies, 728 black winged flies, 712 brown wingless flies, and 75 black wingless flies.
