In Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 745 progenies are produced which are phenotypically classified as follows: (see image) Make a linkage map of the three genes. Compute for interference and explain what the derived value means

Miniature wings in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele (w) that is recessive to the allele for long wings (+). In a cross of a long winged male with a long winged female, the following offspring were obtained: 100 long winged males, 106 miniature winged males, and 480 long winged females. Given this result, the female must be a carrier of the miniature wing allele. True False

In D. melanogaster, reduced bristles (rd), cinnabar eyes (cn), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive traits located on chromosome II in that order. The distance between rd and cn is 7 cM and the distance between cn and vg is 9 cM. The CoC for this chromosome is 0.9. A true-breeding female expressing cinnabar eyes and vestigial wings is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing reduced bristles. The F1 are wild type. An F1 female is then test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only cinnabar eyes? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only vestigial wings?

In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In the F1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye and body color, while all the males had wild-type eye color but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males and females were mated to each other, the F2 was composed of:   216 females with wild-type eyes and wild-type bodies 223 females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 191 males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 188 males with raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies 23 males with wild-type eyes and bodies 27 males with raspberry eyes and sable bodies Which statements are consistent with the above data? (Select all correct answers.)     The alleles causing the raspberry-colored eye and sable-colored body phenotypes are dominant to the corresponding wild-type alleles     The genes controlling raspberry-colored eyes and sable-colored bodies map…
