Summary Introduction

Introduction: Locus is the specific location of a gene in a chromosome. The inheritance of two different characters is affected by the gene linkage. The production of the offspring with traits that are combined is studied in recombination. Map units measure genetic linkage.

In Drosophila, the brown mutation (bw, chromosome 2, position 104.5) results in brown eyes, while miniature (min, chromosome X, position 36.1) results in wings that are 2/3 the length of wild type. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings.   Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1                                                              F1   Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation.

In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial wings and a wild-type (WT) female(brown body and normal wings). The F1 generation consisted of WT males and WT females. The F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow males with WT wings, 15 brown males with vestigial wings, 49 WT males, 31 brown females with vestigial wings, and 97 WT females. Based on these results, explain the inheritance of the two genes (i.e. autosomal or sex-linked, dominant or recessive).
The phenotype of crooked wings (cw) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive mutant gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with crooked wings and normal body hair. All F1 flies from this cross were wild-type, and these flies were crossed among each other to produce 288 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the offspring in the F2 generation, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?
