- 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 cMarrow_forwardThe genome of Drosophila has been studied extensively using the technique of gene mapping.

- The normal sequence of markers on a certain Drosophila chromosome is ABCDE*FGHIJK, where the asterisk represents the centromere. Some flies were isolated with a chromosome aberration that has the following structure: ABCDE*FIJK . This represents a O a) deletion of GH segment O b) inversion of GH segment O c) deletion O d) deletion of centromerearrow_forwardIn purple potatoes, let's say that 2 unlinked genes are needed to produce purple color. The 1st gene, R, expresses a protein that synthesizes pigment. The R allele codes for purple and the r allele codes for red. The 2nd gene, T, expresses a protein that turns on expression of the R gene. Without R gene expression, potatoes are white. The T allele codes for functional protein and the t allele codes for non-functional protein. A homozygous red strain is crossed with a homozygous white strain. The purple F1 are testcrossed. What do you expect to see in the progeny? A. 1 purple : 2 white: 1 red B. 9 purple : 3 red : 4 white C. 3 purple : 1 red D. 9 purple : 3 red: 3 white: 1 novel phenotype E. 2 purple : 1 redarrow_forwardA rosy-eyed Drosophila was crossed with a forked bristle Drosophila.

- Dr. Van Nostrand is a researcher in a lab that studies nutria (a large aquatic rodent). He has identified three genes in the nutria genome that all reside on the same chromosome. In nutria, Tufted tails (7) are dominant to non-tufted tails (t), brown coat color (B) is dominant to white coat color (b) and long whiskers (L) are dominant to short whiskers (/). To map these genes relative to each other, he mated tufted tail (7), brown coated (B), long whiskered (L) nutria that were heterozygous for all three traits with non-tufted tail (t), white coated (b), short whiskered (1) nutria that were homozygous for all three traits (i.e. he performed a test cross). The following numbers and types of offspring were obtained from this cross: Phenotype Tufted, brown coated, short whiskers (T, B. I) Non-tufted, white coated, long whiskers (t, b, L) Non-tufted, brown coated, short whiskers (t, B, I) Tufted, white coated, long whiskers (T, b, L) Tufted, white coated, short whiskers (T,b,I) Number 500…arrow_forwardFemales 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.arrow_forwardTo determine the recombination frequency between body color and wing genes in flies, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 having red body and smooth wings with a yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. You get the following results. What is the distance between the genes for body color and wing surface in map units?arrow_forward
