In the fruit fly Drosophila, a rudimentary wing called vestigial and the dark body color called ebony are inherited at independent loci and are recessive to their dominant wild type counterparts, full wing and gray body color. Dihybrid males and females displaying both wild type phenotypes are crossed, and 3200 progeny are produced. How many progeny flies are expected in each of the phenotypic classes produced?

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
Consider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:vestigal; gray; red 580long wings; black; plum 592vestigal; black; red 45long; gray; plum 40vestigal; black; plum 89long; gray; red 94vestigal; gray; plum 3long; black; red 5A total of 1448 progeny were counted.Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?
Because of non-disjunction in some stocks of Drosophila. melanogaster, about 1 in 65,000 egg cells have two copies of the X chromosome and about 1 in 375 egg cells have no X chromosome. Assuming that meiosis in males is ‘always normal', what is the expected frequency of XXX females and XO males arising from any number of fertilized eggs? Do not be concerned as to whether it is lethal or not.
Two genes, m (apical meristem) and r (starburst rhizosomes), are linked on chromosome #5 in pea plants. Both genes are recessive to wild type and found to be 8 MU apart. If a wild type heterozygote is test- crossed, and produces 91 apical meristem plants and 8 apical, starburst plants from a total of 200 plants were produced, how many wild type plants will be produced? 4 8. 12 16

Two Drosophila flies that had normal (transparent, long) wings were mated. In the progeny, two new phenotypes appeared, dusky wings (having a semi-opaque appearance) and clipped wings (with squared ends). The progeny were as follows: Females: 179 transparent, long 58 transparent, clipped Males: 92 transparent, long 89 dusky, long 28 transparent, clipped 31 dusky, clipped a) Provide a genetic explanation for these results, showing genotypes of parents and of all progeny classes under your model. b) Design a test for your model.
In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock with raspberry-colored eyes (instead of normal brownish-red eyes) were mated to females from a true-breeding stock with sable- colored bodies (instead of normal brown bodies). In the F, 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 F, males and females were mated, the F generation was composed of: 216 females with wild-type eyes and 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. Explain these results by diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances.
Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.
