Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 18PDQ
In Drosophila, two mutations, Stubble (Sb) and curled (cu), are linked on chromosome III. Stubble is a dominant gene that is lethal in a homozygous state, and curled is a recessive gene. If a female of the genotype
is to be mated to detect recombinants among her offspring, what male genotype would you choose as a mate?

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.
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.
In Drosophila, vermilion eye color is due to a recessive allele (v) located on the X chromosome. Curved wings are due to a recessive allele (cu) located on one autosome, and ebony body is due to a recessive allele (e) located on another autosome. A vermilion male is mated to a curved, ebony female, and the F1 males are phenotypically wild-type. If these males were backcrossed to curved, ebony females, what proportion of the F2 offspring will be wild-type males?

Thus, males express most X-linked alleles, whether they are dominant or recessive in females. In the fruit fly Drosophila, it is common to achieve the equivalent of a test cross of X-linked genes in females by assessing the readily observed phenotypes of their male progeny. Since males do not receive X-linked genes from their father, sires of these crosses can be normal or wild-type flies. In fly genetics, it is conventional to name a gene after the mutant phenotype that enabled its discovery. Your challenge is to establish gene order and map distances between three X-linked genes in Drosophila. Each gene is represented by recessive mutant alleles that express rather distinctive phenotypes relative to their dominant wild-type alternative alleles.

- In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a recessive condition called eyeless (ey) significantly interferes with normal eye development. Eyes are either very small or absent. The ey gene is found on chromosome 4, which is the smallest of the four chromosomes in the organism. Individuals with a single copy or three copies of chromosome 4 are viable and can reproduce. A trisomic wild-type male is crossed with a disomic wild-type female: see attached image Determine the chromosome constitution and phenotypic ratios in the offspring. Assume random segregation of chromosomes into gametes.arrow_forwardIn 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?
