The following list of four Drosophila mutations indicates the symbol for the mutation, the name of the gene, and the mutant
Allele symbol | Gene name | Mutant phenotype |
dwp | dwarp | Small body, warped wings |
rmp | rumpled | deranged bristles |
pld | pallid | pale wings |
rv | raven | dark eyes and bodies |
You perform the following crosses with the indicated results:
Cross #1: dwarp, rumpled females × pallid, raven males → dwarp, rumpled males and wild-type females
Cross #2: pallid, raven females × dwarp, rumpled males → pallid, raven males and wild-type females
F females from cross #1 were crossed to males from a true-breeding dwarp rumpled pallid raven stock. The 1000 progeny obtained were as follows:
pallid | 3 |
pallid, raven | 428 |
pallid, raven, rumpled | 48 |
pallid, rumpled | 23 |
dwarp, raven | 22 |
dwarp, raven, rumpled | 2 |
dwarp rumpled | 427 |
dwarp | 47 |
Indicate the best map for these four genes, including all relevant data. Calculate interference values where appropriate.

- A standard three-point mapping is conducted for recessive mutations in autosomal genes purple eye (pr), curved wing ( c) and black body (b). Their wild type alleles are also used for genetic mapping. An F1 Drosophila female heterozygous for purple eye (pr), curved wing (c) and black (b) is crossed to a triply homozygous mutant male. The observed numbers and phenotypes of the offspring are as follows: 360 pr c b 380 pr+ c+ b+ 104 pr c+ b 96 pr+ c b+ 30 pr c b+ 20 pr+ c+ b 6 pr c+ b+ 4 pr+ c b PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING: A) State the order of genes on this chromosome. B) Calculate map distances between the gene pairs: pr-c, pr-b, c-b. Show calculations, state the number of map units and which gene pairs they refer to.arrow_forwardCross Cross A Cross A Cross B Cross B Phenotype F1 generation F2 generation F1 generation F2 generation Male red eyes 132 150 0 99 Female red eyes 135 295 110 101 Male white eyes 0 147 105 93 Female white eyes 0 0 0 95 Using “+” to indicate the wildtype red-eyed allele and “w” to indicate the mutant white-eyed allele, state the genotypes of the following: Wildtype red-eyed and white-eyed parental flies from cross A and cross B.

Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype.

- In Drosophila, the following genes and mutations are known: Wingsize – recessive allele for tiny wings – t; dominant allele for normal wings – T Eye shape – recessive allele for narrow eyes – n; dominant allele for normal (oval) eyes – D Eye color – recessive allele for white eyes – r; dominant allele for normal (red) eyes – R The following cross is performed and the offspring analyzed – TtDdRr X Ttddrr. A) A trihybrid cross is now performed and the offspring analyzed. What is the probability of getting abnormal flies except for the eye color, which will be normal can i please get a correct explantion and all the punnets sqaures and the answer is a fractionarrow_forwardA cross in Drosophila melanogaster involved the recessive X-linked genes for white eye (w), yellow body (y), and cut wings (c). A wild-type tri-hybrid female was crossed with wild-type males and only the male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the results shown below, which of the choices shown best represents the genetic map of the three loci on the X-chromosome?

A recessive mutation with bright eyes was discovered and shown also to be on chromosome 3. A map was obtained by crossing a female who was heterozygous for all three mutations to a male homozygous for the bright red mutation (temporarily will be called br). The following data were obtained.

Vestigial wings are a recessive trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome II. Aristapedia is a dominant trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome III. Being homozygous for this condition is lethal. Cross the following mutant females with a wild-type (homozygous) male. Show the Punnett square and obtain the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the first filial generation (F1). Female with white eyes Q4: Show the Punnett squares and obtain the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the first filial generation (F1) and second filial generation (F2) of the following crosses. Note: The F2 generation can be obtained by crossing one male and one female from the F1 generation. Female with white eyes and vestigial wings and wild-type malearrow_forward
- In Drosophila, three autosomal genes have the following map:20 m.u. 10 m.u.a b ca. Provide the data, in terms of the expected numberof flies in the following phenotypic classes, whena+ b+ c+/ a b c females are crossed to a b c / a b c males. Assume 1000 flies are counted and that nointerference exists in this region.a+ b+ c+a b ca+ b ca b+ c+a+ b+ ca b c+a+ b c+a b+ cb. If the cross was reversed, such that a+ b+ c+ / a b cmales are crossed to a b c / a b c females, howmany flies would you expect in the same phenotypic classes?arrow_forwardDrosophila 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: in the image Q. Construct a linkage map showing the correct order of these genes and estimate the distances between them.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. 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: genotype number sn ct 15 sn ct+ 34 sn+ ct 33 sn+ct+ 18 What is the map distance between sn and ct?arrow_forward
