Bees have a haplodiploid sex determination. The recessive allele ivory causes bees to have white eyes. A white-eyed female is mated to a wild-type male. An F1 female is mated to a white-eyed male and some of her eggs are fertilized. She lays eggs after the mating. What are possible phenotypes of the offspring? i) wildtype males ii) wildtype females iii) white-eyed males iv) white-eyed females Group of answer choices A. only i and iii are possible oucomes B. only i and ii are possible oucomes C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomes
In fruit flies red (A) eyes are dominant to apricot (a) eyes, and normal (P) wings and dominant to pointed (p) wings. Based on the information above, what are the possible gametes that could be produced by a fly that is homozygous for red eyes and heterozygous for normal wings? Group of answer choices: A) AA, Pp B) AP, Ap, aP, ap C) AP, Ap D) AAPp
Bow-legs is hypothesized to be X-linked recessive trait in Drosophila melanogaster. The P1 virgin females were, once again, homozygous wild type but the males were bow-legged. There were 52 wild type males and 67 wild type females in the F1 generation. The F2 generation contained 30 wild type males, 75 wild type females, 40 bow-legged males and no bow-legged females. Is this what is to be expected? Use chi-square to prove your position.
The recessive, X-linked z1mutation of the Drosophilagene zeste (z) can produce a yellow (zeste) eye coloronly in flies that have two or more copies of the wildtype white (w) gene. Using this property, tandem duplications of the w+ gene called w+Rwere identified.Males with the genotype y+ z1w+R spl+ / Y thus havezeste eyes. These males were crossed to females withthe genotype y z1 w+R spl / y+ z1 w+R spl+. (These fourgenes are closely linked on the X chromosome, in theorder given in the genotype, with the centromere tothe right of all these genes: y = yellow bodies; y+ =tan bodies; spl = split bristles; spl+ = normal bristles.) Out of 81,540 male progeny of these females,the following exceptions were found:Class A 2430 yellow bodies, zeste eyes, wild-type bristlesClass B 2394 tan bodies, zeste eyes, split bristlesClass C 23 yellow bodies, wild-type eyes, wild-type bristlesClass D 22 tan bodies, wild-type eyes, split bristlesa. What were the phenotypes of the remainder of the81,540 males…
20) When Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed his red-eved F1 generation flies to each other, the F2 generation included both red- and white-eyed flies. Remarkably, all the white-eyed flies were male. What was the explanation for this result? A) The gene involved is located on the Y chromosome. B) The gene involved is located on the X chromosome. C) The D) Other male-specific factors influence eye color in flies. gene involved is located on an autosome, but only in males.
In Drosophila, a heterozygous female for the X-linkedrecessive traits a, b, and c was crossed to a male that phenotypically expressed a, b, and c. The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) What progeny phenotypes are missing? Why?
In Drosophila, vermilion eye color is due to a recessive allele (v) located on the X chromosome. Curved wings are due to a recessive allele (cu) located on one autosome, and ebony body is due to a recessive allele (e) located on another autosome. A vermilion male is mated to a curved, ebony female, and the F1 males are phenotypically wild-type. If these males were backcrossed to curved, ebony females, what proportion of the F2 offspring will be wild-type males?
In Drosophila melanogaster white (w) and miniature (m) wings are controlled by X-linked recessive genes with a recombination fruequency between them of approximately 38%.

You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.) Body Color Wing Surface # of Individuals red smooth 102 yellow smooth 404 red crinkled 396 yellow crinkled…
In Drosophila, gray body color is dominant over ebony body color,while long wings are dominant over vestigial wings. Work thefollowing crosses through the F2 generation, and determine thegenotypic and phenotypic ratios for each generation. Assumethat the P1 individuals are homozygous: (a) gray, long * ebony,vestigial, and (b) gray, vestigial * ebony, long, and (c) gray,long * gray, vestigial.
A common kind of red-green blindness in humans is caused by the presence of a sex-linked recessive gene c, whose normal allele is c+.
