In Drosophila melanogaster, vestigial (short) wings (vg) are caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a gene pair that influences body hair. Hairy (h ) results in a hairy body. A cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and a normal body. The phenotypically normal F1 flies were crossed among each other and 1024 F2 flies were reared. What phenotypes would you expect in the F2 and in what actual numbers (not ratio) would you expect to find them?

- In Drosophila, a cross was made between females—all expressing the three X-linked recessive traits scute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v)—and wild-type males. In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1000 offspring were counted, with the results shown in the following table.

Vestigial wings (v) are recessive to normal (V) for an autosomal gene. Predict the appearance of offspring of the following crosses: XW/Xw V/v×Xw/Y v/v, Xw/Xw V/v × XW/Y V/v.arrow_forward
- In 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_forwardIn the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cMarrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster, red eyes are dominant over white and the variation for this characteristic is on the X chromosome.

- A male Drosophila with wild-type phenotype is discovered to have only seven chromosomes, whereas normally 2n = 8.

- The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the F2 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect? Group of answer choices 192 wild type, 256 vestigial, 64 hairy, and 192 vestigial and hairy All vestigial and hairy. 576 wild type, 192 vestigial, 192 hairy, and 64 vestigial and hairy All wild type 256 wild type; 256 vestigial, 256 hairy, and 256 vestigial and hairyarrow_forwardIt is assumed that in Drosophila the following genotypes produce phenotypes. َA- B- = Red color A- bb = Plum color aa B- = Magenta color aa bb = White color The third latent genotype, cc, kills homozygous Plums, but has no effect on other genotypes. Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype. If first-generation Drosophilas are heterozygous for all of these genes and interbreed, what phenotypic ratios are expected in society?arrow_forwardMale Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-type stock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated with females from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome: yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings (ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m). These markers are known to map in the order: Recessive alleles: y, cv, ct, sn, m Dominant alleles: y+, cv+, ct+, sn+, m+ y-cv-ct-sn-m у CV ct sn m X-rays х х X ct sn CV у m y+ CV+ ct+ sn+ m+ х X ? Exceptional female: Most of the female progeny of this cross were phenotypically wild type, but one female exhibited ct and sn mutant characteristics. When this exceptional ct sn female was mated with a male from the true-breeding wild-type stock, twice as many females as males appeared among the progeny. a. What is the nature of the X-ray-induced mutation present in the exceptional female? b. Draw the X chromosomes present in the exceptional ct sn female as they would appear during pairing…arrow_forward
