Concept explainers
In Drosophila, a cross was made between females expressing the three X-linked recessive traits, scute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v), and wild-type males. All females were wild type in the F1, 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. No determination of sex was made in the F2 data. (a) Using proper nomenclature, determine the genotypes of the P1 and F1 parents. (b) Determine the sequence of the three genes and the map distance between them. (c) Are there more or fewer double crossovers than expected? (d) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence; does this represent positive or negative interference?

- Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow (y), white (w) and cut (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F1 males expressed the yellow-body and white eyes traits. The cross was carried to an F2 progeny and only male offspring were tallied. Based on the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed. a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents. b) Construct a map, assuming the white is at locus 1.5 on the X-chromosome.

True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

- In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial wings and a wild-type (WT) female(brown body and normal wings). The F1 generation consisted of WT males and WT females. The F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow males with WT wings, 15 brown males with vestigial wings, 49 WT males, 31 brown females with vestigial wings, and 97 WT females. Based on these results, explain the inheritance of the two genes (i.e. autosomal or sex-linked, dominant or recessive).arrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster, red eyes are dominant over white and the variation for this characteristic is on the X chromosome. 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_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster, red eyes are dominant over white and the variation for this characteristic is on the X chromosome.

- Three recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster, roughoid (ru, small rough eyes), javelin (jv, cylindrical bristles), and sepia eyes (se, dark brown eyes) are linked. A three-point cross was carried out and the following progeny obtained: jv+ ru+ se+ 37 jv+ ru+ se 2 jv+ ru se 14 jv+ ru se+ 146 jv ru se+ 2 jv ru se 35 jv ru+ se 154 jv ru+ se+ 10 a.

True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with crooked wings and normal body hair. All F1 flies from this cross were wild-type, and these flies were crossed among each other to produce 288 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the offspring in the F2 generation, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?arrow_forward
- In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellowbodied male with vestigial (not fully developed)wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-typefemales. F1 males and females were crossed, and theF2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males withvestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normalwings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigialwings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied femaleswith vestigial wings, and 97 wild-type females.Explain the inheritance of the two genes in questionbased on these results.arrow_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_forwardThe 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?
