Chapter 3, Problem 43.8P
Summary Introduction
To explain: The F1 and F2 generations by a cross between a pure line female Drosophila with brown eyes and short wings and a male from a normal pure line.
Introduction: Each gene has two types of alleles, a dominant and a recessive. In Drosophila melanogaster, the dominant red eye color masks the effect of recessive brown eye color. Similarly, the allele for the long wings masks the effect of an allele that codes for the short wings.

In Drosophila, a gene controls body color producing either normal body color or the mutant form black body color (bl. A second
gene controls wings. The flies either have normal wings or are wingless (wn). A cross is made between a homozygous wild type
fly and fly with black body and wingless. A test cross was then performed. The following progeny was observed:

In Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits.
Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses.

The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body and b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings and wx+ gives non-waxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes and cn+ gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified with the following phenotypes.
382 cinnabar
379 black, waxy
69 waxy, cinnabar
67 black
48 waxy
44 black, cinnabar
5 wild type
6 black, waxy, cinnabar
Based on this data, what is the correct map of these genes in terms of order and distance?

- You are doing a cross with Drosophila using the following two traits. Curly wings is dominant over straight wings, and round eyes is dominant over elliptical eyes. You cross a female fly that is known to be heterozygous for both genes with a male that is heterozygous for the wing gene but has elliptical eyes. This cross produces 74 flies with curly wings and round eyes, 61 with curly wings and elliptical eyes, 24 with straight wings and round eyes, and 21 with straight wing and elliptical eyes. Calculate the expected phenotype ratios for this cross, then use the chi-square test to see if the observed data are consistent with the expected numbers.arrow_forwardIn the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, eye color is affected by an X-linked gene with two alleles, w for white eyes and w+ for the wild-type red eyes. White eyes is a recessive trait. Females from a true-breeding strain with wild type eyes are crossed with males that have white eyes. a. What will be the phenotypes in the F1 generation? b. What will be the phenotypes in the F2 generation and in what portions are they expected?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila melanogaster, ebony body color is determined by the e allele. The e+ allele produces the wild-typehoney-colored body. In heterozygotes, the body is honey-colored except for a dark marking called the trident seen on the thorax. The e+ allele is thus considered to be incompletely dominant to the e allele.a. When female e+ e+ flies are crossed to male e+ e flies, what is the probability that progeny will have the tridentmarking? Animals with the marking mate among themselves. Of 100 progeny, how many would be expected to have a trident, how many would have ebony bodies, and how many would have honey-colored bodies?arrow_forward
- In a certain plant, the dominant form of gene P codes for purple flowers while the recessive form results in pink flowers. The dominant form of another gene, A, activates the transcription of P, while the recessive form prevents the transcription of P and results in white flowers. A doubly-homozygous purple-flowered plant was crossed with a doubly-homozygous recessive white-flowered plant. The F1 progeny were then self-crossed to generate the F2 generation. Determine the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes for each generation.arrow_forwardFruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross. Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the vermilion eye color is determined by a recessive allele, v, of an X-linked gene. The wildtype color is determined by the v+ allele and causes a brick red eye color. In a cross of a heterozygous female with a wild type male you observe 340 red eye females, 136 red eye males, and 90 vermillion males. Do these results follow your expectations?arrow_forward
- Female Drosophila with cinnabar eye (cn) and vestigal wings (vg) were mated to males with roof wings (fr). The F1 were all wild type. When the F1 females were tested and crossed with male homozygous for all thrre traits, the following result were obtained. For this problem, rf, cn, vg is for roof wing / cinnabar eye / vestugal wing rf + cn + vg all wild type (no definite phenotype described). What is the value of coincidence and interference?arrow_forwardThe recessive allele s causes Drosophila to have small wings, and the s+ allele causes normal wings. This gene is known to be X linked. If a small-winged male is crossed with a homozygous wild-type female, what ratio of normal to small-winged flies can be expected in each sex in the F1? If F1 flies are intercrossed, what F2 progeny ratios are expected? What progeny ratios are predicted if F1 females are backcrossed with their father?arrow_forwardPURPLE VESTIGIAL DIHYBRID CROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (put/pu+;vg+/vg+) with a pure-breeding purple, vestigial (pu/pu;vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (pu*/pu;vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (pu*/pu;vg+/vg) with tester males, which are purple, vestigial (pu/pu;vg/vg). The offspring of this dihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Genotype Tester Gamete Dihybrid Gamete Number Wild-type 437 417 77 59 Purple, vestigial Vestigial Purple Copy the table into your notes and derive the dihybrid gametes following the example in the first section. The columns in blue (phenotypes and numbers of offspring) are what you can see and count. The genotypes of the testcross offspring (orange) must be deduced from the phenotypes and knowing that the tester contributed pu vg gametes. Finally, you can deduce the dihybrid gametes (green) by subtracting the tester gamete contribution…arrow_forward
- In Drosophila, red eyes is wild-type and cinnabar eyes are mutant. Wings with crossveins are wild- type and crossveinless wings are mutant. Flies with a cn cn cv'cv genotype were crossed with flies with a cncn CVCv genotype. One thousand offspring were typed. This cross produced 390 red-eye, crossvein flies, 100 red-eye crossveinless flies, 93 cinnabar-eye, crossvein flies, and 417 cinnabar-eye, crossveinless flies. What is the distance between these two gene loci in centiMorgans (cM or map units)? Please enter your answer as a number.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the gene loci for curved wings and purple eyes are 20 centimorgans (map units) apart from each other on an autosomal chromosome. Wild-type flies were mated with double mutant flies with cv cv p p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes. AlIl of the F1 flies had wild type phenotypes. The F, flies were crossed with double mutant flies with cv cv p'p genotypes and curved wing/purple eye phenotypes. What are the predicted percentages of flies in the F2 generation with wild type wings and eyes, curved wings and wild type eyes, wild type wings and purple eyes, and curved wings and purple eyes?arrow_forwardMouse fur color is affected by TWO unlinked loci. GG or Gg mice are agouti. Mice with genotype gg are albino since all pigment production is blocked, regardless of the phenotype at the second locus. At the other locus, the F allele (agouti coat) is dominant to the f allele (black coat). How many black mice would result from a cross between two agouti mice of genotype GgFf?
