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.

- Consider the following variations in Drosophila melanogaster, relative to the wild-type: White eyes are a recessive trait—the gene of which is found in Chromosome I (X). 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_forwardThe locations of six deletions have been mapped to a Drosophila chromosome, as shown in the following deletion map. Recessive mutations a, b, c, d, e, and f are known to be located in the same region as the deletions, but the order of the mutations on the chromosome is not known.arrow_forwardProduce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below: There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the dominant causative mutation. The mother is homozygous wild type at the same locus. Add a file here showing your diagram.arrow_forward
- In Drosophila, the brown mutation (bw, chromosome 2, position 104.5) results in brown eyes, while miniature (min, chromosome X, position 36.1) results in wings that are 2/3 the length of wild type. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1 F1 Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation. Use the space provided to show your work.

The RFLP is 2 map units from the gene for DMD. Consider the following pedigree and Southern blot using a probe that hybridizes to the RFLP. Which band/s is/are associated with DMD? What is the genotype for individuals 3 and 4? (Remember, this is an X linked disease, so use X’s and Y’s to denote). Individual 9 married a man who does NOT have muscular dystrophy, and she is pregnant. DMD is an X-linked trait. What is the probability for their child to have DMD? An amniocentesis is performed and it is determined that 9’s child in utero has only a 10 kb band that hybridizes to the same probe used above. What can you say about the child now?arrow_forwardMale Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-type stock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated with females from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome: yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings (ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m). These markers are known to map in the order: Recessive alleles: y, cv, ct, sn, m Dominant alleles: y+, cv+, ct+, sn+, m+ y-cv-ct-sn-m у CV ct sn m X-rays х х X ct sn CV у m y+ CV+ ct+ sn+ m+ х X ? Exceptional female: Most of the female progeny of this cross were phenotypically wild type, but one female exhibited ct and sn mutant characteristics. When this exceptional ct sn female was mated with a male from the true-breeding wild-type stock, twice as many females as males appeared among the progeny. a. What is the nature of the X-ray-induced mutation present in the exceptional female? b. Draw the X chromosomes present in the exceptional ct sn female as they would appear during pairing…arrow_forward
- 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: in the image Q. Construct a linkage map showing the correct order of these genes and estimate the distances between them.arrow_forwardThe locations of six deletions have been mapped to a Drosophila chromosome, as shown in the following deletion map. Recessive mutations a, b, c, d, e, and f are known to be located in the same region as the deletions, but the order of the mutations on the chromosome is not known. (refer image for contination )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
- QUESTION 11 The location of five deletions have been mapped to a Drosophila chromosome, as shown in the following deletion map. Recessive mutations a, b, c, d and e are known to be located in the same region as the deletions but the order of the mutations on the chromosome is not known. Drosophila Chromosome Deletion 1 Deletion 2 Deletion 3 Deletion 4 Deletion 5 When flies homozygous for the recessive mutation are crossed with flies heterozygous for the deletions, the following results are obtained in which "m" represents recovery of flies with a mutant phenotype and "+" represents recovery of only flies with a wildtype phenotype. Use the data from the table below to determine the order of the genes (a-e) on the chromosome. Mutants Deletions a b C d e 1 + + + + m 2 + m + m 3 m m m m 4 + + m + + 5 m + m m + What is the gene order for these five genes?
