Chapter 9, Problem 9TYK
A fruit fly with a gray body and red eyes (genotype BbPp) is mated with a fly having a black body and purple eyes (genotype bbpp). What ratio of offspring would you expect if the body-color and eye-color genes are on different chromosomes (unlinked)? When this mating is actually carried out, most of the offspring look like the parents, but 3% have a gray body and purple eyes, and 3% have a black body and red eyes. Are these genes linked or unlinked? What is the recombination frequency?

Honey Bees are unusual in that male bees (drones) have only one copy of each gene, while female bees have two copies of each gene. That is because drones develop from eggs that have not been fertilised by sperm cels. In bees, the trait of long wings is dominant over short wings, and the trait of black eyes is dominant over white eyes. If a drone with short wings and black eyes was mated to a queen bee that is heterozygous for both genes, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of male and female offspring. What are the phenotypic ratios if we assume an equal number of male and female offspring?
Mating took place between males and females of a fruit fly, and individuals appeared With the following proportions and attributes: 25% Female flies with irregular wings and 25% female flies with irregular wings 25% male flies with irregular wings and 25% male flies with irregular wings . . If a symbol for the adjective of regular wings is symbolized by the symbol B and if a symbol for irregular wings with the symbol b, The genotypes of the parents are?
1. bB, Bb
2. bb,Bb
3. XB Y, Xb Xb

Let’s suppose that a gene affecting pigmentation is found on the Xchromosome (in mammals or insects) or the Z chromosome (in birds)but not on the Y or W chromosome. It is found on an autosome inbees. This gene exists in two alleles: D (dark) is dominant to d (light).What would be the phenotypic results of crosses between true-breedingdark females and true-breeding light males, and the reciprocal crossesinvolving true-breeding light females and true-breeding dark males,in the following species? Refer back to Figures 4.1 and 4.2 for themechanism of sex determination in these species.A. BirdsB. Fruit fliesC. BeesD. Humans

If R1 is a recessive lethal allele, what phenotypic ratio would you expect when crossing two swallowtails with red forewings? 1 red : 2 white 1 red : 3 white 3 red : 1 white there is not enough information given to answer this question 1 red : 1 white 2 red : 1 whitearrow_forwardIn garden peas, the gene for red flowers (R) is dominant over the gene for white flowers (r).

- A kidney-bean shaped eye is produced by a recessive gene, k, on the third chromosome of Drosophila. Orange eye color, called cardinal, is produced by the recessive gene cd on the same chromosome. A third recessive gene on chromosome three, e, produces ebony body color. Trihybrid females are testcrossed to produce 4000 progeny, as follows: 1761 kidney, cardinal 1773 ebony 128 cardinal 97 kidney 89 ebony, cardinal 6 kidney, ebony,cardinal 8 wild type 138 kidney, ebony 1.

- Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If instead of the above, assume the wing shape gene and the body color gene are completely linked. From parents that are curled winged with brown bodies mated to straight winged with black bodies, what would be the outcome of an F1 intercross? (Specify the phenotypes and the frequency of each expected).arrow_forwardIn flies, assume black (B) is dominant and green (b) is recessive for abdomen color, and straight (S) is dominant and bent (s) is recessive for antenna shape. Assume also that these genes are found on the same chromosome. If single mutants for each of these genes (green abdomen x bent antenna) are crossed with one another, and you then testcross the resulting offspring, you get the following numbers of each phenotype: black, straight 17 green, bent 12 black, bent 337 green, straight 364 What is the map distance between B and S?

- . In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, so heterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios of flower colors would you expect among the offspring of the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white × pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white, and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would be most efficient?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, eye shape is an X-linked trait.

Round-eyed female: 100 75 0 50 25 Round-eyed male: 25 0 75 100 50 Almond-eyed female: 0 75 25 50 100 Almond-eyed male: 0 100 75 50 25arrow_forwardYou are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the “P” generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Assume the genes are not found on a sex chromosome. Indicate the body color alleles with B and b and the wing size alleles with N and n. a) The genotypes of the flies in the P generation are: Female: ______________ Male: ______________ b) The genotype of the flies in the F1 generation is: _____________ c) You now take an F1 female and cross her to a true-breeding black, wingless male.
