The 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 flies
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?
In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In the F1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye and body color, while all the males had wild-type eye color but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males and females were mated to each other, the F2 was composed of:
216 females with wild-type eyes and wild-type bodies
223 females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies
191 males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies
188 males with raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies
23 males with wild-type eyes and bodies
27 males with raspberry eyes and sable bodies
Which statements are consistent with the above data? (Select all correct answers.)
The alleles causing the raspberry-colored eye and sable-colored body phenotypes are dominant to the corresponding wild-type alleles

- In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial wings and a wild-type (WT) female(brown body and normal wings). The F1 generation consisted of WT males and WT females. The F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow males with WT wings, 15 brown males with vestigial wings, 49 WT males, 31 brown females with vestigial wings, and 97 WT females. Based on these results, explain the inheritance of the two genes (i.e. autosomal or sex-linked, dominant or recessive).arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the genes for withered wings (whd), smooth abdomen (sm) and speck body (sp) are located on chromosome 2 and are separated by the following map distances:whd ----------(30.5)----------sm-----(15.5)-----spA female with withered wings and a smooth abdomen was mated to a male with a speck body.The resulting phenotypically wild-type females were mated with males that had the mutant phenotype for all three traits, producing 1000 offspring. Calculate the number of expected double crossover progeny. Express your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardFemales of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.arrow_forward
- Explain the following: a- No parental type is produced during gametogenesis? b- A dominant wild type produced a sign spot in Drosophila? c- 9:7 phenotypic ratio is produced in dihybrid cross? d- 50% parental type gametes were produced during gametogenesis? e- All recombinant gametes were produced during gametogenesis?arrow_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 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_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardYou discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae. You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), so the heterozygotes (XL1XL2) have antennae that are intermediate in length (and XL2 homozygote females have long antennae). Males only have either long or short antennae. You cross a female with long antennae with a male with short antennae. What proportion of their male offspring do you expect to have short antennae? Group of answer choices 0.75 0.50 0 1.00 0.25arrow_forwardVermilion eye color in Drosophila is sex-linked and recessive. What would be the phenotypes of maleand female progenies of a cross between a vermilion female and wild-type (red) male?arrow_forward
- Miniature wings (Xm) in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X +). Give the genotypes of the parents in each of the following crosses. Male parent Female parent Male offspring Female offspring a. long long 231 long, 250 miniature 560 long 250 miniature b. miniature long 610 long 632 long c. miniature long 410 long, 417 miniature 412 long, 415 miniature 417 miniature 415 miniature d. long miniature 753 miniature 761 long e. long long 625 long 630 longarrow_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 mice, the trait for high cholesterol is specified by a dominant allele designated HC, whereas the wild-type allele for normal cholesterol levels is designated hc. Black fur is specified by a recessive allele designated bl, whereas the wild-type allele which gives brown fur is designated BL. The genes for both of these traits are 30cM apart on the same autosome. A brown female (#1) with high cholesterol is mated to a black male (#2) with normal cholesterol. The progeny from this cross include a brown male (#3) with high cholesterol and a black female (#4) with normal cholesterol. What is the probability that the black mouse in the progeny of the first cross will also have high cholesterol?arrow_forward
