In fruit flies red (A) eyes are dominant to apricot (a) eyes, and normal (P) wings and dominant to pointed (p) wings. Based on the information above, what are the possible gametes that could be produced by a fly that is homozygous for red eyes and heterozygous for normal wings? Group of answer choices: A) AA, Pp B) AP, Ap, aP, ap C) AP, Ap D) AAPp
In Drosophila,, the curled mutation (cu, chromosome 3, position 50.0) results in wings that curl up, while ebony (e, chromosome 3, position 70.7) results in a dark body. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with curled wings and ebony bodies. Considering Drosophila notation, which of the following correctly diagrams the F1 cross?

Females heterozygous for the recessive second chromosome mutations px, sp, and cn are mated to a male homozygous for all three mutations. The offspring are as follows: Must show all work 1.) What gene is in the middle? and what are the map distances between the genes in centimorgans? 2.) What is the interference?
Bees have a haplodiploid sex determination. The recessive allele ivory causes bees to have white eyes. A white-eyed female is mated to a wild-type male. An F1 female is mated to a white-eyed male and some of her eggs are fertilized. She lays eggs after the mating. What are possible phenotypes of the offspring? i) wildtype males ii) wildtype females iii) white-eyed males iv) white-eyed females Group of answer choices A. only i and iii are possible oucomes B. only i and ii are possible oucomes C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomes

Chlamydomonas, a eukaryotic green alga, may be sensitive to the antibiotic erythromycin, which inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. There are two mating types in this alga, mt+ and mt-. If an mt+ cell sensitive to the antibiotic is crossed with an mt- cell that is resistant, all progeny cells are sensitive. The reciprocal cross (mt+ resistant and mt- sensitive) yields all resistant progeny cells. Assuming that the mutation for resistance is in the chloroplast DNA, what can you conclude from the results of these crosses?
Indicate whether to cross (i) mutant females with wild-type males, or (ii) mutant males with wild-type females, or (iii) both (i.e. reciprocal crosses), to produce an F1 generation that will enable you to determine if the traits are dominant or recessive, and if they are sex-linked (on the X chromosome). Draw mating diagrams and Punnett squares to support your answer. To determine whether the mutant genes are independent or linked, a testcross is more appropriate than using data from the F2 generation. Knowing which are the recessive genes, indicate which individuals you would mate in this testcross. Draw a mating diagram & use the forked line method to predict the outcome of this cross. Conduct the appropriate testcross using Drosophila Lab, record your results and indicate whether the three mutant genes are inherited independently or whether they are linked? Include a chi square analysis to support your conclusion.

You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.)
