Chapter 7, Problem 15PDQ

A cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow body (y), white eyes (w), and cut wings (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 F 1 males expressed the yellow-body, white-eye traits. The cross was carried to F2 progeny, and only male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed. (a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents. (b) Construct a map, assuming that w is at locus 1.5 on the X chromosome. (c) Were any double-crossover offspring expected? (d) Could the F2 female offspring be used to construct the map? Why or why not?

Why or why not?
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. Phenotype Offspring sc s v 314 + + + 280 + s v 150 sc + + 156 sc + v 46 + s + 30 sc s + 10 + + v 14 No determination of sex was made in the 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 distances between them. (c) Are there more or fewer double crossovers than expected? (d) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence. Does it represent positive or negative interference?
