- In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the following genes and mutations are known:Wing size: recessive allele for tiny wings t; dominantallele for normal wings T.Eye shape: recessive allele for narrow eyes n;dominant allele for normal (oval) eyes N.For each of the four following crosses, give thegenotypes of each of the parents.Male FemaleWings Eyes Wings Eyes Offspring1 tiny oval × tiny oval 78 tiny wings, oval eyes24 tiny wings, narrow eyes2 normal narrow × tiny oval 45 normal wings, oval eyes40 normal wings, narrow eyes38 tiny wings, oval eyes44 tiny wings, narrow eyes3 normal narrow × normal oval 35 normal wings, oval eyes29 normal wings, narrow eyes10 tiny wings, oval eyes11 tiny wings, narrow eyes4 normal narrow × normal oval 62 normal wings, oval eyes19 tiny wings, oval eyesarrow_forwardPart 2 Spotty and Cutie have puppies and 50% of the puppies are unaffected for both traits (not blind and not BHFD).

- Black body (b) and purple eye (pr) are recessive autosomal mutations in Drosophila. Bridges are crossed b/b females with pr/pr males and in the F2 observed 684 wild type, 371 black-bodied, and 300 purple-eyed flies. Do these results indicate that the b and pr genes are closely linked? Explain. (Remember that there is no crossing-over in male Drosophila)..arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, a cross was made between females expressing thethree X-linked recessive traits, scute bristles (sc), sable body (s),and vermilion eyes (v), and wild-type males. All females were wildtype in the F1, while all males expressed all three mutant traits.The cross was carried to the F2 generation and 1000 offspringwere counted, with the results shown in the following table. Nodetermination of sex was made in the F2 data. Question:Calculate the coefficient of coincidence; does this represent positive or negative interference?

The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn+ and ct+ is crossed to a sn ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows sn ct 36 sn ct+ 13 sn+ ct 12 sn+ ct+ 39 What is the map distance between sn and ct?arrow_forward
- In Drosophila, the gene loci for curved wings and purple eyes are 20 centimorgans (map units) apart from each other on an autosomal chromosome. Wild-type flies were mated with double mutant flies with cv cv p p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes. AlIl of the F1 flies had wild type phenotypes. The F, flies were crossed with double mutant flies with cv cv p'p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes. What are the predicted percentages of flies in the F2 generation with wild type wings and eyes, curved wings and wild type eyes, wild type wings and purple eyes, and curved wings and purple eyes?arrow_forwardMiniature wings (Xm) in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X*). Give the genotypes of the parents in the following cross: Male parent Female parent Male offspring Female offspring Long Miniature 750 miniature 761 long O male: X* / X* and female X™ /x+ O male: X*/Xt and female Xm /xm O male: X*/ Y and female Xm /xm O male: Xm/ Y and female Xm /xmarrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.
