Question:- 3. Wild type Drosophila has red eyes and gray body*. Autosomal recessive mutations sepia (se) and ebony (e) modify the eye and body color, respectively. What kind of a cross (or crosses) can you set up to determine whether the two genes are linked? You have several lines to choose from: a pure-breeding wild type line (where alleles for both, sepia and ebony are wild type), a double homozygous recessive line, a pure breeding sepia mutant line and a pure breeding ebony mutant line. You don’t have to use all of them. (a) Write down the cross (or crosses, if necessary) which will allow you to determine linkage; include genotypes of both crossed individuals (b) What kind of results (offspring) do you expect if the two genes are linked? (c) What kind of results (offspring) do you expect if the two genes are not linked? For (b) and (c), state the phenotypes, genotypes and numbers.
