Chapter 3, Problem 3P
In a test of his chromosome theory of heredity, Morgan crossed an F1 female Drosophila with red eyes to a male with white eyes. The F1 females were produced from Cross A shown in Figure 3.19. Predict the offspring Morgan would have expected under his hypothesis that the gene for eye color is on the X chromosome in fruit flies.

Determine the linear order of the genes on the chromosome (which gene is in the middle?).
In DrosophilaI, yellow body (y), crossveinless (cv), and forked bristles (f) are all found in the X chromosome, in that order. Yellow is 14 map units from crossveinless, and crossveinlessis 32 map units from forked. A yellow, forked female is crossed to a crossveinless male. An F1 female is crossed to a yelow, crossveinless, forked male, yielding the F2 generation. In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless and forked, but not yellow? Assume a coefficient of coincidence of 1.
In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that are completely wild type?
In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless, but not yellow or forked?
In Drosophila,, the curled mutation (cu, chromosome 3, position 50.0) results in wings that curl up,
while ebony (e, chromosome 3, position 70.7) results in a dark body. True breeding, wild type females
are mated with true breeding males with curled wings and ebony bodies.

- A mutation of Drosophila has a wing condition known as beaded. When a beaded fly was crossed with a pure-line normal fly, 53 beaded and 47 normal F1 's were produced. When two of the F, beaded flies were mated, 67 beaded and 33 normal F2's were produced. Explain the genetics of the beaded trait and give the genotypes of all P and F1 generation flies.arrow_forwardImagine Drosophila genes C, D, and E are autosomal genes located close to each other on the same chromosome (same assumptions as the first problem). You cross a C D E homozygote with a c d e homozygote, then cross the F1 females with a c d e homozygous male. Of 400 progeny, you observe the following phenotypes: 135 CDE 139 cde 22 cDE 18 Cde 42 CdE 38 cDe 3 cdE 3 CDe a. What is the order of the genes? Calculate the distance between genes and draw a map to get the final answer. Question 2 options: 1.CED 2. DEC 3. ECD 4.

From a cross of f v / f+ v+ females with f v / y males, what % of the progeny do you expect to have the f+ v+ phenotypes? (Don’t let the X chromosome throw you off – this question is essentially asking what % of the female’s gametes will be f+ v+).arrow_forward

Two true-breeding cats are crossed, a black male and an orange female. Considering the female kittens, how many X chromosomes would be silenced at the indicated developmental stages: primary oocyte, single-cell female embryo, and adult female somatic cell. Considering the female kittens, some interesting coat colors were found. The kitten named Elsa had one black patch and one orange patch. The kitten named Annika had ten black patches and ten orange patches. Explain why these sisters look different based on their development from a single-cell female embryo to the somatic cells of the kitten.arrow_forwardImagine a germ cell for an animal that is 2n=4. Gene A and B are found on chromosome one, and the cell is homozygous for A(AA) and heterozygous for Bb. Gene D is found on chromosome 2 and the germ cell is heterozygous for the Allee of the gene (Dd). Meiosis for this germ cell results in the following four gametes, and one crossing over event during meiosis ABD, ABd, AbD, Abd. Draw the chromosomes in cell during metaphase of meiosis 1. Make sure to include chromosomes, the allele in the correct locations on the chromosomes AFTER the crossing over event, and spindle fibers.arrow_forward
- A female Drosophila with the mutant phenotype 'notched wings' was mated to a wild type male. Two-thirds of the progeny were female. Half of the females had notched wings and the other half had wild type wings and all the male progeny had wild type wings. When the notched progeny were mated to their wild type brothers, the same results were obtained. Explain.arrow_forwardYou design Drosophila crosses to provide recombinationdata for gene a, which is located on the chromosome shownin Figure 15.12. Gene a has recombination frequencies of14% with the vestigial wing locus and 26% with the browneye locus.

- You are investigating two temperature-sensitive mutant cells. In one, you can inactivate shugoshin activity by raising the temperature slightly at the start of meiosis. In the other, you can similarly inactivate separase activity by raising the temperature. How would the two cells be affected by inactivating these proteins?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, a heterozygous female for the X-linkedrecessive traits a, b, and c was crossed to a male that phenotypically expressed a, b, and c. The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) What progeny phenotypes are missing? Why?arrow_forwardWhen Calvin Bridges observed a large number of offspring from a cross of white-eyed female Drosophila tored-eyed males, he found very rare white-eyed femalesand red-eyed males among the offspring. He was ableto show that these exceptions resulted from nondisjunction, such that the white-eyed females had received twoXs from the egg and a Y from the sperm, while thered-eyed males had received no sex chromosome fromthe egg and an X from the sperm. What progeny wouldhave arisen from these same kinds of nondisjunctionalevents if they had occurred in the male parent? Whatwould their eye colors have been?arrow_forward
