You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points)
a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies?
b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring?
c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.)

- Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?arrow_forwardIf 50% of gametes produced by a double heterozygote are recombinant, then Group of answer choices d) either a or b could be true a) the two genes of interest are 50 map units apart e) either a or c could be true b) the two genes are on separate chromosomes c) the two genes both exhibit complete dominancearrow_forwardBees have a haplodiploid sex determination. The recessive allele ivory causes bees to have white eyes. A white-eyed female is mated to a wild-type male. An F1 female is mated to a white-eyed male and some of her eggs are fertilized. She lays eggs after the mating. What are possible phenotypes of the offspring? i) wildtype males ii) wildtype females iii) white-eyed males iv) white-eyed females Group of answer choices A. only i and iii are possible oucomes B. only i and ii are possible oucomes C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomesarrow_forward
- A female from true breeding line of Drosophila with white eyes is crossed with a male from a true breeding line with brown eyes. All of the offspring have wild type brick red eyes. Which of the following explanations is most likely? A) There are many alleles for the single gene for eye color. Wild type brick red eyes result only when the fly is heterozygous. B) The alleles for brown, white, and brick red eyes are alleles for a single locus. The allele for brown eye color is dominant to the allele for brick red eye color and to the allele for white eyes. C) There is more than one gene for eye color. The brown mutation and the white mutation occur in separate genes and are both recessive to the wild type alleles. The offspring are heterozygous for both genes, so they are phenotypically wild type. D) None of the above. It is not possible for a cross between a white-eyed and a brown-eyed fly to produce wild type offspring.arrow_forwardThe picture below represents a G1 cell from a newly discovered species that uses the X/Y sex determination system. Alleles for the different autosomal genes of interest are indicated on the chromosomes, and genes R and T are 36 cM apart. Red lines show maternal chromosomes, and blue lines show paternal chromosomes. Answer the following questions about this individual. a) This individual can produce a pool of different gametes. List any TWO potential gametes that will occur at different frequencies. Give the alleles of each gamete contained within a set of brackets, and indicate the expected frequency (up to two decimals) at which that gamete would occur. b) Name any two loci in this individual that can result in recombination in the gametes via the process of independent assortment. c) What is the sex of this individual?

The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curly wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation? Explain your answer and why the other options do not qualify, A) Curly wings is a recessive trait. B) The dominant curly wing allele is also a recessive lethal. C) Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles. D) Two interacting genes determine wing shape. E) All of the hybrid F 1 flies had straight wings.arrow_forward
- In German cockroaches, bulging eyes (bu) are recessive to normal eyes (bu+) and curved wings (cv) are recessive to straight wings (cv+). These two traits are encoded by autosomal genes that are linked. A cockroach has genotype bu+ bu cv+ cv, and the genes are in repulsion. Which of the following sets of genes will be found in the most common gametes produced by this cockroach? a. bu+ cv+ b. bu cv c. bu+ bu d. cv+ cv e. bu cv+ Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe genetic map was based on crosses in Drosophila involving the three sex-linked genes a, b and c. “a” gives red eyes, “b” gives normal wings and “c” gives black body. The recombination frequencies between these genes are as follows; a and b is 23.8, b and c is 2.6 and a and c is 28.1, respectively. Could you draw a basic genetic map based on distance between these genes using dots to show distance(s)? Could you make one fundamental comment using these distances based on genetic linkage?arrow_forwardA wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?arrow_forward

Do you think each of the X and Y chromosome pairs in males assorts independently of other X and Y pairs during meiosis? Why or why not?arrow_forward
