In 1919, Calvin Bridges began studying an X-linked recessive mutation causing eosin-colored eyes in Drosophila. Within an otherwise true-breeding culture of eosin-eyed flies, he noticed rare variants that had much lighter cream-colored eyes. By intercrossing these variants, he was able to make a true-breeding cream-eyed stock. Bridges now crossed males from this cream-eyed stock with true-breeding wild-type females. All the F progeny had red (wild-type) eyes. When F flies were intercrossed, the F progeny were 104 females with red eyes, 52 males with red eyes, 44 males with eosin eyes, and 14 males with cream eyes. Assume that these numbers represent an 8:4:3:1 ratio. Formulate a hypothesis to a. explain the F 1 and F 2 results, assigning phenotypes to all possible genotypes?

Expert Solution

Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The hypothesis derived from the results obtained from crossing true breeding cream-colored male and true-breeding wild female.

Introduction:

Fertilization is the process by which the male gamete, sperm, fertilize with the female gamete, ovary. The process brings about the fusion of two haploid pronuclei into a diploid zygote.

Explanation of Solution

The hypothesis that can be derived from the results is that mutation in the wild type allele results in the production of eosin eyed progeny. The presence of criss-cross inheritance in the wild and the mutated variant results in the production of cream eyed progeny. This hypothesis supports the presence of criss-cross inheritance.

Expert Solution

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The predicted progeny in F₁ and F₂ generation if the cross is made between true-breeding eosin eyed males and true-breeding cream-colored females.

Introduction:

The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. Therefore, the dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive phenotype is only expressed under homozygous condition.

Explanation of Solution

The progeny from the cross between true-breeding eosin eyed males, and true-breeding cream-colored females are as follows:

Gametes	X^e	Y
X^c	X^eX^c	X^c Y
X^c	X^eX^c	X^c Y

The F₂ progeny is derived as follows:

Gametes	X^c	Y
X^e	X^eX^c	X^e Y
X^c	X^cX^c	X^c Y

The progeny obtained will be cream eyed males (X^c Y), eosin eyed males (X^e Y), cream-colored females (X^cX^c) and variant cream colored female (X^eX^c).

Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.

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).

You discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae. You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), so the heterozygotes (XL1XL2) have antennae that are intermediate in length (and XL2 homozygote females have long antennae). Males only have either long or short antennae. You cross a female with long antennae with a male with short antennae. What proportion of their male offspring do you expect to have short antennae?
