In Drosophila, sepia eyes (se), curled wings (cu) and ebony body (e) are found, in this order, on chromosome 3. Sepia is 22 map units from curled, which is 12 map units from ebony. A true-breeding female with sepia eyes and ebony body is crossed to a true- breeding male who has curled wings. The resulting F1 progeny from this cross are all wild type. An F1 female is test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Assuming a Coefficient of coincidence of 1: What proportion of the F2 progeny will express only the sepia trait?  If there are 1000 total flies, what number will express curved only?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
