Chapter 17.4, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The original purpose of Morgan’s experiments with Drosophila.
Introduction:
Morgan's experiment explains the process of linkage and recombination. The linkage phenomenon is defined as the transfer of two closely situated or linked genes to pass on to the next generation. Higher the linkage lesser is the recombination frequency because closely linked genes will always be inherited together.

Prior to the work described here, what was the original purpose ofMorgan’s experiments with Drosophila?
For the first experiment ever on Drosophila mutations. Answer the following questions.
a. What is the title of the first published paper explained the experiment and what is the name of the Author?
b. What is the first mutation discovered in Drosophila?
c. Explain the changes in the Drosophila yellow mutant (Y)compared to wild type.
Cat fur coat color genetics is interesting. Orange fur is dominant (''B'') to black fur (''b'') and piebald, which is white spotting, is dominant (''S'') to non-white-spotted (''s''). Both of those genes are located on the X chromosome. In addition, in cats, somatic cells exhibit X-inactivation randomly, which explains why there are tortoiseshell cats (when heterozygous, have orange and black spots) as well as calico cats (orange and black but also with white spots). An orange and white spotted male is mated with a tortoiseshell female.
