| a. | Provide the data, in terms of the expected number of flies in the following females are crossed to a b c / a b c males. Assume 1000 flies are counted and that no interference exists in this region.  |
| b. | If the cross was reversed, such that a b c / a b c males are crossed to a b c / a b c females, how many flies would you expect in the same phenotypic classes? |

In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, Xm causes miniature wings. List the F2 phenotypic ratios if:
a miniature-winged female is crossed with a normal male and
a miniature-winged male is crossed with a normal female.
What would the phenotypic ratio from (a) be if the miniature-winged gene were autosomal? Assume in all cases that the P1 individuals are true-breeding.
In Drosophila, the genes ct(cut wing margin), y (yellow body), and v (vermilion eye color) are X-linked. Females heterozygous for all three markers were mated with wildtype males and the following male progeny were obtained. As is conventional in Drosophila genetics, the wild-type allele of each gene is designated by a “+” sign in the appropriate column. Use the data to
(A) create a genetic map of the genes,
(B) calculate interference, and
(C) interpret the value of interference. Show your work.
Drosophila females heterozygous for three recessive mutations, a, b, and c , were crossed to males homozygous for all three mutations.The cross yielded the following results:

- The genes for mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 18 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male, and the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to mahogany-ebony males. Of 942 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes and in what numbers would they be expected?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, an autosomal gene determines the shape of the hair, with B giving straight and b giving bent hairs. On another autosome, there is a gene of which a dominant allele I inhibits hair formation so that the fly is hairless (i has no known phenotypic effect).a. If a straight-haired fly from a pure line is crossed with a fly from a pure-breeding hairless line known to be an inhibited bent genotype, what will the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 and the F2 be?b. What cross would give the ratio 4 hairless:3 straight:1 bent?arrow_forwardThe mutant genes for vestigial wings and singed bristles are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. Assume that a vestigial-winged female was mated to a singed-bristle male, and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild type females were mated to vestigial singed males. Of 1000 offspring, which phenotype class would represent the product of crossing over between the genes, and how many would you expect? a) vestigial, 300 flies b) vestigial, 150 flies wild type, 300 flies d) singed, 150 flies e) vestigial, singed double mutants, 150 fliesarrow_forward
- Three autosomal recessive mutations in yeast, all producing the same phenotype (m1, m2, and m3), are subjected to complementation analysis. Of the results shown below, which, if any, are alleles of one another? Predict the results of the cross that is not shown—that is, m2 * m3. Cross 1: m1 * m24 F1: all wild-type progeny Cross 2: m1 * m34 F1: all mutant progenyarrow_forwardIt is assumed that in Drosophila the following genotypes produce phenotypes. َA- B- = Red color A- bb = Plum color aa B- = Magenta color aa bb = White color The third latent genotype, cc, kills homozygous Plums, but has no effect on other genotypes. Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype. If first-generation Drosophilas are heterozygous for all of these genes and interbreed, what phenotypic ratios are expected in society?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster white (w) and miniature (m) wings are controlled by X-linked recessive genes with a recombination fruequency between them of approximately 38%. Show the sexes, phenotypes and proportions of offspring expected from the following mating:a. ++/wm female X wm maleb. +m/w+ female X w+ malec. w+/+m female X ++ maleIf we assume that white eyes and miniature wings are not x-linked but are linkedto the autosomal genes, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect from this cross: ++/wm female X ++/wm male?arrow_forward
- In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormal phenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonic development. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? Show COMPLETE cross for both cases. If m-m- females produce useless eggs, then how are m-m- produced?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, vermilion eye color is due to a recessive allele (v) located on the X chromosome. Curved wings are due to a recessive allele (cu) located on one autosome, and ebony body is due to a recessive allele (e) located on another autosome. A vermilion male is mated to a curved, ebony female, and the F1 males are phenotypically wild-type. If these males were backcrossed to curved, ebony females, what proportion of the F2 offspring will be wild-type males?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster body color is controlled by one gene while wing shape is controlled by a second gene. Gray body color is dominant to black body color, and normal wings are dominant to vestigial wings. Flies homozygous for gray body color and vestiial wing are crossed with flies homozygous for black body color and normal wings Compare the possible F2generation genotypes and phenotypes and proportions if these two traits are autosomally linked in comparison to the non-linked How does your answer change if one of the original parents is homozygous for gray body color and normal wings while the other has black body color and vestigial wingsarrow_forward
- In the fruit fly, recessive mutations in either of two independently assorting genes, brown and purple, prevent the synthesis of red pigment in the eyes. Thus, homozygotes for either of these mutations have brownish-purple eyes. However, heterozygotes for both of these mutations have dark red, that is, wild-type eyes. If such double heterozygotes are intercrossed, what kinds of progeny will be produced, and in what proportions?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, a heterozygous female for the X-linkedrecessive traits a, b, and c was crossed to a male that phenotypically expressed a, b, and c. The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) Determine the correct sequence and construct amap of these genes on the X chromosome ?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, ebony body colour is produced by a recessive gene a and wild-type (gray) body colour by its dominant allele a+. Vestigial wings are governed by a recessive gene vg, and normal wing size (wild type) by its dominant allele vg+. If wild-type dihybrid flies are crossed and produce 256 progeny, how many of these progeny flies are expected in each phenotypic class?arrow_forward
