Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 32ESP
In Drosophila, a female fly is heterozygous for three mutations, Bar eyes (B), miniature wings (m), and ebony body (e). Note that Bar is a dominant mutation. The fly is crossed to a male with normal eyes, miniature wings, and ebony body. The results of the cross are as follows.
Interpret the results of this cross. If you conclude that linkage is involved between any of the genes, determine the map distance(s) between them.

Sepia 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.
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?
The 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.

- In Drosophila, the genes for eye color, wing shape, and wing length are located on chromosome II. Purple eyes (pr), arc bent wings (a), and vestigial wings (vg) are the mutant forms of the wild type traits red eyes, straight wings, and long wings, respectively. You've discovered some data in your genetics laboratory which indicates that the distance between vg and pr is 12.5 m.u., the distance between a and pr is 44.7 m.u., and the distance between a and vg is 32.2 m.u. From this information, deduce the order of these genes on chromosome II and identify which gene is in the middle.

- One of the X chromosomes in a particular Drosophila female had a normal order of genes but carried recessive alleles of the genes for yellow body color (y), vermilion eye color (v), and forked bristles (f), as well as the dominant X-linked Bar eye mutation (B).

- A maternal effect gene in Drosophila, called torso, is found as a recessive allele that prevents the correct development of anterior- and posterior-most structures. A wild-type (homozygous) male iscrossed to a female of unknown genotype. This mating produces 100% larva that are missing theiranterior- and posterior-most structures and therefore die during early development. What is the genotype and phenotype of the female fly in this cross? What are the genotypes andphenotypes of the female fly’s parents? Show COMPLETE cross.

Prader-Willi syndrome results from deletion of region 15q11-q13, which in healthy individuals is a region imprinted such that only the paternal copy is expressed. In the pedigree above, individual I-1 is heterozygous for a deletion of region 15q11-q13 and does not have Prader-Willi syndrome. Individuals I-2 and II-1 are both homozygous wild type for the region. Which individuals in the pedigree might have Prader-Willi syndrome? (Who could potentially have the syndrome, based on what alleles it is possible for them to inherit and express?)
