Concept explainers
The following X-linked recessive traits are found in fruit flies:
vermilion eyes are recessive to red eyes, miniature wings are recessive
to long wings, and sable body is recessive to gray body. A cross was
made between wild-type males with red eyes, long wings, and gray
bodies and females with vermilion eyes, miniature wings, and sable
bodies. The heterozygous female offspring from this cross, which
had red eyes, long wings, and gray bodies, were then crossed to
males with vermilion eyes, miniature wings, and sable bodies. The
following data were obtained for the F2 generation (including both
males and females):
1320 vermilion eyes, miniature wings, sable body
1346 red eyes, long wings, gray body
102 vermilion eyes, miniature wings, gray body
90 red eyes, long wings, sable body
42 vermilion eyes, long wings, gray body
48 red eyes, miniature wings, sable body
2 vermilion eyes, long wings, sable body
1 red eyes, miniature wings, gray body

- In the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cMarrow_forwardConsider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:vestigal; gray; red 580long wings; black; plum 592vestigal; black; red 45long; gray; plum 40vestigal; black; plum 89long; gray; red 94vestigal; gray; plum 3long; black; red 5A total of 1448 progeny were counted.Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?arrow_forwardYou are doing a cross with Drosophila using the following two traits. Curly wings is dominant over straight wings, and round eyes is dominant over elliptical eyes. You cross a female fly that is known to be heterozygous for both genes with a male that is heterozygous for the wing gene but has elliptical eyes. This cross produces 74 flies with curly wings and round eyes, 61 with curly wings and elliptical eyes, 24 with straight wings and round eyes, and 21 with straight wing and elliptical eyes. Calculate the expected phenotype ratios for this cross, then use the chi-square test to see if the observed data are consistent with the expected numbers.arrow_forward
- 6) Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle wasting disease and is an X-linked recessive disorder. A man with this disease has children with a woman who does not have the disease, but her father did. If they had a ason, what would be the chance that he would have DMD? If they had a daughter? Any child? Construct a Punnett square to determine the answers. 10) In cats, coat color is completely dominant to albino (Mendelian genetics) and is an autosomal trait. Playa is a female albino cat and is crossed with Azul, a black-coated male. In their first litter, they have 4 black kittens and 2 albino kittens. If in the second litter, they have 8 kittens, how many of the kittens are expected to be albino? Construct a Punnett Square to determine the answer.arrow_forwardIn humans, the genes for coloblindedness and hemophilia re both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. a. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. b. If the man dies and the woman remarries to a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children could be expected from hre second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could ne expectedarrow_forwardIn dogs, black coat color (B) is dominant to yellow coat color (b), and straight fur (C) is dominant to curly fur (c). The coat color gene and the fur texture gene are on different chromosomes, so they assort independently, and are not sex-linked. In a cross between two BbCc parents, predict the fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur. Give two digits after decimals.arrow_forward
