A mutation of Drosophila has a wing condition known as beaded. When a beaded fly was crossed with a pure-line normal fly, 53 beaded and 47 normal F1 's were produced. When two of the F, beaded flies were mated, 67 beaded and 33 normal F2's were produced. Explain the genetics of the beaded trait and give the genotypes of all P and F1 generation flies.

You are given a Drosophila female that looks wild-type but is heterozygous for mutations intan body (t), miniature wings (m), and white eyes (w). You test cross this female with a tanbodied, miniature winged, and white-eyed homozygous mutant male, and you obtain thefollowing 1400 progeny: Phenotype : number+ + + : 608t m w : 516+ m w : 2t + + : 6+ m + : 39t + w : 46+ + w : 81t m + : 102 Calculate the distance between each pair t-m, m-w, and t-w only using the number ofrecombinants between them (i.e. ignoring the gene in the middle). Draw a linear map with thedistances between genes.
Vestigial wing is a recessive autosomal mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type flies have red eyes, but another mutation, an X-linked recessive mutation causes white eyes. You cross a parental generation of males with vestigial wings with females that have white eyes. 1) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F1 generation from such a cross? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies? (e.g. males with red eyes and wild-type wings). 2) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F2 generation? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies?
In Drosophila, three autosomal genes have the following map:20 m.u. 10 m.u.a b ca. Provide the data, in terms of the expected numberof flies in the following phenotypic classes, whena+ b+ c+/ a b c females are crossed to a b c / a b c males. Assume 1000 flies are counted and that nointerference exists in this region.a+ b+ c+a b ca+ b ca b+ c+a+ b+ ca b c+a+ b c+a b+ cb. If the cross was reversed, such that a+ b+ c+ / a b cmales are crossed to a b c / a b c females, howmany flies would you expect in the same phenotypic classes?
Drosophila eye color is determined by a single gene. Supposed you collect a population of drosophila and note that some flies have white eyes and some flies have red eyes. A red eyed male mates with a female red eye to get the following progeny: 75 red eyed females 35 red eyed males 38 white eyed males A. Specifically, what inheritance pattern can explain these results? B. What must be the genotype of the two red eyed flies that mated in your cross?
Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If the F1 were backcrossed to the straight, wing brown bodied parent, what phenotypes would be produced among the progeny? What would be the proportion of each phenotype?
In Drosophila, two genes w and s are X-linked and are 25 map units apart. A heterozygous female fly with a genotype w* s*/ws (w* and s* are wild-type alleles) is crossed to a male wild-type fly.

In Drosophila, a cross (cross 1) was made between twomutant flies, one homozygous for the recessive mutationbent wing (b) and the other homozygous for the recessivemutation eyeless (e). The mutations e and b are alleles oftwo different genes that are known to be very closelylinked on the tiny autosomal chromosome 4. All the progeny had a wild-type phenotype. One of the female progeny was crossed with a male of genotype b e/b e ; we willcall this cross 2. Most of the progeny of cross 2 were of theexpected types, but there was also one rare female ofwild-type phenotype.a. Explain what the common progeny are expected tobe from cross 2.b. Could the rare wild-type female have arisen by (1)crossing over or (2) nondisjunction? Explain.
Drosophila can have a yellow-brown body (wild-type [+]) or a black body [b] as a result of a mutation in the black gene (marked b). a mutation in the black gene (marked b). There is also a mutation in the purple gene (marked pr) which purple eyes (mutant phenotype [pr]). Flies with normal eyes are noted [+]. a/ Pure strains of male Drosophila [b] are crossed with female Drosophila [pr] (1st cross). The F1 progeny contains only wild-type Drosophila for the two [+, +] traits. both [+, +] traits. The reciprocal cross gives the same result. What information can you draw from this?

In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In the F1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye and body color, while all the males had wild-type eye color but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males and females were mated to each other, the F2 was composed of: 216 females with wild-type eyes and wild-type bodies 223 females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 191 males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies 188 males with raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies 23 males with wild-type eyes and bodies 27 males with raspberry eyes and sable bodies Which statements are consistent with the above data? (Select all correct answers.) The alleles causing the raspberry-colored eye and sable-colored body phenotypes are dominant to the corresponding wild-type alleles The genes controlling raspberry-colored eyes and sable-colored bodies map…
In 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 cM
