Summary Introduction
To review:
The type of gene that is defective in the mutant larvae of Drosophila.
Introduction:
A defect in various segmentation genes results in the formation of different types of larva in Drosophila. The three types of segmentation genes include gap gene, segment-polarity gene, or pair-rule gene, which on mutation causes the deletion of various segments from the larva of Drosophila. These genes are also responsible for dividing the larva into many segments.

In Drosophila, one of the genes controlling wing length is located on the X chromosome. A recessive mutant allele of this gene makes the wings miniature—hence, its symbol m; the wild-type allele of this gene, m_, makes the wings long. One of the genes controlling eye color is located on an autosome. A recessive mutant allele of this gene makes the eyes brown—hence, its symbol bw; the wildtype allele of this gene, bw_, makes the eyes red. Miniature-winged, red-eyed females from one true-breeding strain were crossed to normal-winged, brown-eyed males from another true-breeding strain.
1. Predict the phenotypes of the F1 flies.
2. If these flies are intercrossed with one another, what phenotypes will appear in the F2, and in what proportions?
Explain how loss-of-function mutations in the following categories of genes would affect the morphologies of Drosophila larvae:
A. Gap genes
B. Pair-rule genes
C. Segment-polarity genes
What would you predict to be the phenotype of a Drosophila larva whose mother was homozygous for a loss-of-function allele in the nanos gene?

- Consider the following variations in Drosophila melanogaster, relative to the wild-type: White eyes are a recessive trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome I (X). Vestigial wings are a recessive trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome II. Aristapedia is a dominant trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome III.

One such recessive mutation is called brown (bw) and gives brown eyes instead of the wild type dark red eyes. Another recessive mutation is scarlet (st) which gives bright red eyes. The bw st double mutant has white eyes. A brown-eyed male was crossed to a scarlet- eyed female. The F1 progeny were wildtype. When the F1 males were test-crossed to bw/bw st/st females the following progeny phenotypes were produced: 1/4 wildtype, 1/4 brown, 1/4 scarlet, 1/4 white. These results show that the two genes are?
