Chapter 7, Problem 15PDQ

A cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow body (y), white eyes (w), and cut wings (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal, but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F 1 males expressed the yellow-body, white-eye traits. The cross was carried to F2 progeny, and only male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed. (a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents. (b) Construct a map, assuming that w is at locus 1.5 on the X chromosome. (c) Were any double-crossover offspring expected? (d) Could the F2 female offspring be used to construct the map? Why or why not?

Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow (y), white (w), and cut (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F1 males expressed the yellow-body and white-eye traits. The cross was carried to an F2 progeny, and only male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed.

Why or why not?
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).
. In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), the bn+ allele for normal dull red eyes is dominant to the bn allele that gives brown eyes.  Another gene affects wing shape; for this gene, the ct+ allele for normal wings is dominant to the ct allele, which gives “cut” wings, with jagged edges.  A fly with dull red eyes and normal wings was crossed with a fly that had dull red eyes and cut wings, and the following progeny were obtained: 16 dull red eyes, normal wings 14 dull red eyes, cut wings 5 brown eyes, normal wings 5 brown eyes, cut wings What were the genotypes of the parents?
