Chapter 3, Problem 19P
Four eye-color mutants in Drosophila—apricot, brown, carnation, and purple—are inherited as recessive traits. Red is the dominant wild-type color of fruit-fly eyes. Eight crosses (A through H) are made between parents from pure-breeding lines.
a. Which of these eye-color mutants are X-linked recessive and which are autosomal recessive? Explain how you distinguish X-linked from autosomal heredity.
b. Predict F2

In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, Xm causes miniature wings. List the F2 phenotypic ratios if:
a miniature-winged female is crossed with a normal male and
a miniature-winged male is crossed with a normal female.
What would the phenotypic ratio from (a) be if the miniature-winged gene were autosomal? Assume in all cases that the P1 individuals are true-breeding.
Vestigial wing is a recessive autosomal mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type flies have red eyes, but
another mutation, an X-linked recessive mutation causes white eyes. You cross a parental generation of males with vestigial
wings with females that have white eyes.
1) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F1 generation from such a cross? What phenotypes do you observe in
these flies? (e.g. males with red eyes and wild-type wings).
2) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F2 generation? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies?
Consider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:vestigal; gray; red 580long wings; black; plum 592vestigal; black; red 45long; gray; plum 40vestigal; black; plum 89long; gray; red 94vestigal; gray; plum 3long; black; red 5A total of 1448 progeny were counted.Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?

- You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. You cross females of this line with males homozygous for the corresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denote recessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type phenotypes): 1364 + + +, 365 a b c, 87 a b +, 84 + + c, 47 a + +, 44 + b c, 5 a + c, and 4 + b +.a. What is the recombinant frequency between a and b? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossing over in Drosophila males.)b.

Bridges are crossed b/b females with pr/pr males and in the F2 observed 684 wild type, 371 black-bodied, and 300 purple-eyed flies.

What is the recombinant frequency between a andb? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossingover in Drosophila males.)b. What is the coefficient of coincidence?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermilion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes of wild type. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, suppressor of vermilion (su-v), causes flies homozygous or hemizygous for v to have wildtype eyes. In the absence of vermilion alleles, su-v has no effect on eye color. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios from a cross between a female with wild-type alleles at the vermilion locus, but who is homozygous for su-v, with a vermilion male who has wildtype alleles at the su-v locusarrow_forward

Their wild type alleles are also used for genetic mapping. An F1 Drosophila female heterozygous for purple eye (pr), curved wing (c) and black (b) is crossed to a triply homozygous mutant male.

- In Drosophila, an autosomal gene determines the shape of the hair, with B giving straight and b giving bent hairs. On another autosome, there is a gene of which a dominant allele I inhibits hair formation so that the fly is hairless (i has no known phenotypic effect).a. If a straight-haired fly from a pure line is crossed with a fly from a pure-breeding hairless line known to be an inhibited bent genotype, what will the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 and the F2 be?b.

This trait is usually seen in men, but women who are heterozygous carriers of the trait often have irregular patches of skin with few or no sweat glands (see the illustration below). a. Explain why women who are heterozygous carriers of a recessive gene for anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have irregular patches of skin lacking sweat glands. b. Why does the distribution of the patches of skin lacking sweat glands differ among the females depicted in the illustration, even between the identical twins?arrow_forward
