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.

Temales among these offspring are allowed to freely intermate, producing a flock of F, kittens. Predict The males and the phenotypic ratio for fur color among these many grandkittens. In Drosophila (fruit flies), the wild type eye color, brick red, is actually produced by the deposition of two pigments in the eyes, a dull brown pigment and a brilliant red pigment. These two pigments are produced by the action of two different, non-allelic (and non-linked) genes. Each of these genes has two alleles, a dominant one which causes normal the production of the pigment controlled by the gene, and a recessive one which is defective, and causes none of that pigment to be produced. Thus, a normal eye- color fruit fly must have at least one dominant allele for each of these genes. If a fly is homozygous for the defective, recessive allele of the gene which produces the brown pigment, that fly will have only the brilliant red pigment in its eyes. This condition is called "cinnabar." For this…
