Chapter 5, Problem 18P

Cinnabar eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive characters in Drosophila. A homozygous wild-type female was crossed to a reduced, cinnabar male, and the F males were then crossed to the F females to obtain the F . Of the 400 F offspring obtained, 292 were wild type, 9 were cinnabar, 7 were reduced, and 92 were reduced and cinnabar. Explain these results and estimate the distance between the cn and rd loci.

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)..
Female Drosophila heterozygous for three recessive mutations e (ebony body), st (scarlet eyes), and ss (spineless bristles) were testcrossed, and the following progeny were obtained: Phenotype Number wild-type 67 ebony 8 ebony, scarlet 68 ebony, spineless 347 ebony, scarlet, spineless 78 scarlet 368 scarlet, spineless 10 spineless 54 (a) What indicates that the genes are linked? (b) What was the genotype of the original heterozygous females? (c) What is the order of the genes? (d) What is the map distance between e and st? (e) Between e and ss? (f) What is the coefficient of coincidence? (g) Diagram the crosses in this experiment.
In Drosophila, a cross was made between females and wild-type males. The female parents expressed the three X-linked recessive traits miniature wing (m), ebony body (e) and cinnabar eye (c). In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1500 offspring were produced. 412 403 211 Miniature wing, ebony body, cinnabar eye Wild type Ebony body, cinnabar eye Miniature wing Miniature wing, cinnabar eye Ebony body Miniature wing, ebony body Cinnabar eye 224 103 96 23 28 (i) Using proper nomenclature, determine the genotypes of the females and males in generation P and F1. (ii) What is the correct order of the genes? (iii) Construct a genetic map showing the correct order and distances between these genes.
