In 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?
Male Drosophila expressing the autosomal recessivemutations sc (scute), ec (echinus), cv (crossveinless),and b (black) were crossed to phenotypically wildtype females, and the 3288 progeny listed wereobtained.

- Cinnabar eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are linked autosomal recesive characters in Drosophila fruit flies. A homozygous wild-type female was crossed to a reduced, cinnabar male, and the F1 females were then crossed with cinnabar reduced males to obtain the F2. Of the 200 F2 offspring obtained, 78 were wild type, 18 were cinnabar, 22 were reduced and 82 were reduced and cinnabar..
