The type of inheritance pattern shown by F1 generation in Drosophila melanogaster. Introduction: The F1 generation or first filial generation of offspring is obtained by crossing both the parental traits. The self-pollination of the hybrids that are obtained from the F1 generation produces F2 generation.

In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. What is the genotype of the F1? Show the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion of each. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if: The F1’s are intercrossed? The F1’s are crossed with red plants If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.

In fruit flies, red eyes (pr+_) are dominant to purple eyes (prpr) and normal wings (vg+_) are dominant to vestigial wings (vgvg). The genes are located on the same chromosome. A pure-breeding red-eyed fly with vestigial wings was crossed with a pure-breeding purple-eyed fly with normal wings. All of the F1 progeny had a WT phenotype. The recombination frequency between the two genes is 15%. If an F1 individual were test crossed, what percentage of the progeny would you expect to have the WT phenotype?
