Answer the questions as if you were crossing flies with a “big head” mutant trait with flies that have normal sized heads
Q6 Answer this question for your particular cross. Include separate information for the two
reciprocal crosses. Your instructor may ask you to hand in the answers to Parts A through
E within a week or so and then hand in an answer to Part F after you have collected the data
from the cross.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information

  • The cross is between the mutant big-head flies with normal sized head flies.

In part B mutant big head is dominant so let B represents the mutant big head flies and b represents the normal sized head flies.

In part C mutant allele is recessive so let N denotes the normal sized head and n represents the mutant big head trait.
