Question
The Y allele in Drosophila is a dominant for yellow body color and the y allele is recessive for brown body
color. The Y allele is also a recessive lethal allele. At a second locus, the allele B for long bristles is
incompletely dominant to the allele b for short bristles. Follow the steps below to predict the genotypes
and phenotypes of the LIVE progeny from the following cross:
yellow body, medium bristled X yellow body, medium bristled.
1) What is the cross?
2) Break this down to the single gene level by answering the following questions:
a. What is the ratio of yellow to brown offspring? Show the Punnett square, but include only
the live offspring in the final ratios, and place a box around this final ratio:
b. What is the ratio of bristle lengths? Show the Punnett square:
