In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes (instead of normal brownish-red eyes) were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable- colored bodies (instead of normal brown bodies). In the F, 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 F, males and females were mated, the F generation was composed of: 216 females with wild-type eyes and 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. Explain these results by diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances.

In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock withraspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from atrue-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In theF1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye andbody color, while all the males had wild-type eyecolor but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males andfemales were mated, the F2 generation was composedof 216 females with wild-type eyes and bodies, 223females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 191males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 188 maleswith raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies, 23 maleswith wild-type eyes and bodies, and 27 males withraspberry eyes and sable bodies. Explain these resultsby diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances
In Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-typephenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy. The allele cn ofa third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red. A female heterozygous for these three genes istestcrossed, and 745 progenies are produced which are phenotypically classified as follows:5 b+ wx+ cn+4 b wx cn53 b+ wx cn 49 b wx+ cn+287 b+ wx+ cn279 b wx cn+ 33 b+ wx cn+35 b wx+ cn Make a linkage map of the three genes. Compute for interference and explain what the derived valuemeans. Show complete solutions to support your answers.
In a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.
Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous forthe recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation).Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele makebrown pigment, while those with at least one copy ofB make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbitswere crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the doublerecessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.a. What phenotypic proportions would have beenexpected if the b and c loci were unlinked?b. How far apart are the two loci?
In Drosophila, M. Green found a singed allele (sn) withsome unusual characteristics. Females homozygous forthis X-linked allele have singed bristles, but they havenumerous patches of sn+ (wild-type) bristles on theirheads, thoraxes, and abdomens. When these flies aremated with sn males, some females give only singedprogeny, but others give both singed and wild-type progeny in variable proportions. Explain these results.
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. 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? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
Fruit flies (Drosophila) were mated. Cross #1 - 2 male red eyes (se+), wild wings(ap+) X 4 female red eyes (se+), wild wings(ap+) Cross 2 - 2 male sepia eyes(se-), apterous wings (ap-) X 4 female red eyes(se+), wild wings (ap+) Write out a dihybrid cross and branch diagram for the F2 generatin
BLACK VESTIGIAL DIHYBRID TESTCROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/blt.vg+/vg+) with a pure-breeding black, vestigial (bl/bl vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (bl+/bl vg+/vg) with tester males, which are black, vestigial (bl/bl;vg/vg). The offspring of this dihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Genotype Tester Gamete Dihybrid Gamete Number 440 Wild-type 394 108 135 Black, vestigial Vestigial Black Copy the table into your notes and derive the dihybrid gametes following the example in the previous section. The columns in blue (phenotypes and numbers of offspring) are what you can see and count. The genotypes of the testcross offspring (orange) must be deduced from the phenotypes and knowing that the tester contributed bl vg gametes. Finally, you can deduce the dihybrid gametes (green) by subtracting the tester gamete…

The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). Predict the outcome (normal vs. failed embryogenesis) inthe F1 and F2 generations of the cross described.
As a Drosophila research geneticist, you keep stocksof flies of specific genotypes. You have a fly that hasnormal wings (dominant phenotype). Flies with shortwings are homozygous for a recessive allele of thewing-length gene. You need to know if this fly withnormal wings is pure-breeding or heterozygous forthe wing-length trait. What cross would you do todetermine the genotype, and what results would youexpect for each possible genotype?
