- 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_forwardSepia eyes, spineless bristles, and striped body are three recessive mutations in Drosophila found on chromosome 3. A genetics student crosses a fly homozygous for the alleles encoding sepia eyes, spineless bristles, and striped body with a fly homozygous for the wild-type alleles—encoding red eyes, normal bristles, and solid body. The female progeny are then test-crossed with males that have sepia eyes, spineless bristles, and striped body. Assume that the interference between these genes is 0.2 and that 400 progeny flies are produced by the testcross. Based on the map distances provided in Figure , predict the phenotypes and proportions of the progeny resulting from the test cross.arrow_forwardCinnabar eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are linked autosomal recesive characters in Drosophila fruit flies. A homozygous wild-type female was crossed to a reduced, cinnabar male, and the F1 females were then crossed with cinnabar reduced males to obtain the F2. Of the 200 F2 offspring obtained, 86 were wild type, 13 were cinnabar, 17 were reduced and 84 were reduced and cinnabar..

- In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermilion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes of wild type. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, suppressor of vermilion (su-v), causes flies homozygous or hemizygous for v to have wildtype eyes. In the absence of vermilion alleles, su-v has no effect on eye color. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios from a cross between a female with wild-type alleles at the vermilion locus, but who is homozygous for su-v, with a vermilion male who has wildtype alleles at the su-v locusarrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardConsider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes).
