Chapter 15, Problem 2SYK

You have found a new mutant phenotype in fruit flies that you suspect is recessive and X-linked. What is the single, best cross you could make to confirm your predictions?

You are conducting independent research for your Honors Thesis in a Drosophila research lab.  One of the graduate student researchers has provided you with two mutant strains of Drosophila.  One has scarlet eyes, and the other has brown eyes.  You cross homozygous scarlet-eyed male Drosophila with female flies homozygous for the brown-eye color allele, and all of the male and female F1 flies have wild-type eyes.  Crosses involving F1 males x F1 females yield the results shown below. You know the traits involved are autosomal, and that reciprocal parental crosses produce similar results.   a) What is the phenotypic ration observed among the offspring in the F2 generation? b) How many pairs of genes are involved in determining these traits? Please explain. c) Please EXPLAIN the genetic basis for the pattern of inheritance illustrated in this cross. Be sure to mention the alleles involved.
