A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?

(This one is more complicated). Two true breeding fruit flies are allowed to mate. One fly ishomozygous dominant for body color and eye color while the other is homozygous recessive forbody color and eye color. (g+:gray body, g:black body, e+:ebony eyes, e:red), The F1 flies areallowed to mate. What are the following probabilities in the F2 generation? For this problemmake sure to show the Punnett Square for your F2 generation and all of your calculations. Youdo not need to show the Punnett Square for the F1 generation. Answer in percent and round to 2decimals.a. Two of three fruit flies are gray and red.b. The first fruit fly is gray and ebony, the second fruit fly is gray and red, and the third fruit fly is black and ebony.
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and wings) is mated with a black fruit fly with no wings. The offspring are: gray body with wings: 895 black body with wings: 905 gray body without wings: 110 black body without wings: 90 What is the recombination frequency between the two genes?
A fruit fly with a gray body and red eyes (genotype BbPp) is mated with a fly having a black and purple eyes (genotype bbpp). Show diagrammatically a genetic cross between the two flies and the possible genotypes and phenotypes of F1. What ratio of offspring would you expect if the body-colour and eye-colour genes are on different chromosome (unlinked)? When 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. Compare and discuss the observation with your answer in part (
Read in your textbook about positive assortative mating. In this example, from your text, positive assortative mating is 100% (i.e. there is no random mating). Note that the frequency of heterozygotes is cut in half each generation. Does this match your answers above? Look at the actual values make sure you understand why positive assortative mating leads to an increase in homozygosity.

Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color?

In an insect species, the genes for white eyes (w) and smooth legs (s) are linked and are located 16 map units apart. A white-eyed, smooth-legged female was mated to a true-breeding wild-type male; the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to white-eyed, smooth-legged males. In an F2 of 100 individuals, what would be the expected number of F2 individuals for each phenotype? wild-type: white-eyed: smooth-legged: white-eyed and smooth-legged:
A homozygous red pigmented female beetle (bb) is bred with a black pigmented male of unknown genotype. It’s unknown if the male homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the pigment trait. The color of their offspring will help identify the genotype of the male. What do you call this method used to determine the genotype of the male beetle? Explain your answer by using Punnett square to show possible offspring genotypes.
A homozygous fly with two recessive mutations causing purple body and short wings (ppss) is mated with a fly heterozygous for both mutations (p+p and s+s): "+" represents the wild-type allele. They have the following offspring: 26 Wild type (normal body, normal wings) 345 Purple body, normal wings 376 Normal body, short wings 13 Purple body, short wings What is the allele arrangement (haplotype) for the heterozygous parental fly?
