Question

In Drosophila, the gene for wing type is known to be autosomal with vestigial wings (vg) known to the recessive to normal, long wings (+). You are already familiar with the white eye gene (w) from lecture with the normal color being red (+). Answer the following questions assuming an initial cross (P₁) between a pure breeding white eyed, long winged female and a pure breeding red eyed vestigial winged male.

a) What are the parental genotypes?

b) What phenotypes would occur in the F₁ generation and in what proportions?

c) What would the phenotypes and phenotypic ratios would occur in F₂ generation?
