Question
Chapter 18.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To design: A testcross to determine the distance between the al and dp genes.
Introduction: The hereditary characters are determined by DNA sequences called genes. The study of the arrangement of genes and the distance between them on the genome of an organism is called genetic mapping.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The genotypes of P, F1.and F2 generation in the test cross.
Introduction: Genes are the sequences of DNA in the genome that are responsible for the hereditary characters being passed on from generation to generation. With the use of genetic mapping, the arrangement and location of genes on the chromosome can be understood.

Shown (the picture) is a partial gene map for Drosophila melanogaster. In Drosophila, vermillion eyes are recessive (v) to red eyes (V) and the gene resides on chromosome 1; dumpy wings (d) are recessive to normal wings (D); and speckled body (s) is recessive to normal body (S). The dumpy wing gene and the speckle body gene are linked on chromosome 2 and have 7 map units separating them. Assume that chromosome 1 and 2 are autosomal chromosomes and that there are no known interactions between the genes.
In an experiment, an undergraduate student crossed pure breeding males that have red eyes, normal wings, and normal body with pure breeding females who have vermillion eyes, dumpy wings, and speckle body to obtain an F1. Using the Drosophila gene map, answer the following questions:
a. What fraction of the F1 gametes will contain the alleles for red eyes, normal wings and speckle body?
b. In a cross between an F1 flies and a tester, what fraction of the offspring do you expect to have…

- Lid (Little imaginal discs) is a gene located on chromosome 2L and FRT40A refers to an FRT sequence inserted at the 40A (cytological location). Tubulin (Tub) refers to a promoter that can drive target gene expression in all the cell types. Gal80 is an inhibitor of Gal4 that blocks Gal4’s ability to activate transcription. Determine whether the following statements are true or false for flies with the following genotype: y w HsFLP; lid, FRT40A / P{Tub-Gal80}, FRT40A; P{Tub-Gal4} P{UAS-GFP} / + A. The fly will express Gal4, which will activate GFP in all the somatic cells without heat shock. B. After heat shock, FLP recombinase will be induced, which will induce mitotic recombination at FRT40A. However, lid mutant clone will be not induced because it is located closer to the centromere than FRT40A. C. After heat shock, FLP recombinase will be induced, which will induce mitotic recombination at FRT40A, resulting in the generation of homozygous lid mutant clones and twin spots that are…arrow_forwardQUESTION 11 The location of five deletions have been mapped to a Drosophila chromosome, as shown in the following deletion map. Recessive mutations a, b, c, d and e are known to be located in the same region as the deletions but the order of the mutations on the chromosome is not known. Drosophila Chromosome Deletion 1 Deletion 2 Deletion 3 Deletion 4 Deletion 5 When flies homozygous for the recessive mutation are crossed with flies heterozygous for the deletions, the following results are obtained in which "m" represents recovery of flies with a mutant phenotype and "+" represents recovery of only flies with a wildtype phenotype. Use the data from the table below to determine the order of the genes (a-e) on the chromosome. Mutants Deletions a b C d e 1 + + + + m 2 + m + m 3 m m m m 4 + + m + + 5 m + m m + What is the gene order for these five genes?

- You are interested in studying position effect variegation in Drosophila using the chromosome depicted below: Deactivation of the w+ gene gives a white eye phenotype and deactivation of the rst+ gene gives a rough eye phenotype; the normal phenotypes are red and smooth. Because the rst+ and w+ genes have now been placed close to a heterochromatic domain, some sections (or sectors) of the eye display mutant phenotypes due to gene deactivation while others display the normal, wild type phenotype. Which phenotype would you not expect to see rst w Inverted X chromosome white smooth eye sectors white rough eye sectors red smooth eye sectors red rough eye sectorsarrow_forwardL, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the genes on the chromosome? D-R: 35 CM P-D: 5 CM L-R: 10 CM D-P: 30 CM D-L 25 CM P-R: 40 CM Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing your gene order to the possible answer choices.
