16 - 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 the is homozygous for normal wings with a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect? a) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (256), vestigial (256), hairy (256), and vestigial hairy (256). b) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (576), vestigial (192), hairy (192), and vestigial hairy (64). C) Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (192), vestigial (256), hairy (64), and vestigial hairy (192). d) All vestigial hairy. e) All wild type.

Question
16 - 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 the is
homozygous for normal wings with a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body
hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would
you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?
a)
Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (256), vestigial (256), hairy (256),
and vestigial hairy (256).
b) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (576), vestigial (192), hairy (192),
and vestigial hairy (64).
C) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (192), vestigial (256), hairy (64), and
vestigial hairy (192).
d)
All vestigial hairy.
e)
All wild type.
