Chapter 9, Problem 13TYK

In fruit flies, the genes for wing shape and body stripes are linked. In a fly whose genotype is WwSs, W is linked to S, and w is linked to s. Show how this fly can produce gametes containing four different combinations of alleles. Which are parental-type gametes? Which are recombinant gametes? How are the recombinants produced?

Two different strains of Drosophila melanogaster are mated in reciprocal crosses. When strain A males are crossed with strain B females, the progeny are normal. However, when strain A females are crossed with strain B males, there are many mutations and chromosome rearrangements in the gametes of the F1 progeny, and the F1 generation is effectively sterile. Explain these results.
Determine the linear order of the genes on the chromosome (which gene is in the middle?).
Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.
