Summary Introduction

To explain:

The proportions of progeny produced and phenotypes produced by mating between red-eyed Notch female with white-eyed male.

Introduction:

Notch mutations in Drosophila are X-linked wing mutations. One of the reasons for these mutations is chromosome deletion. Notch deletions are dominant mutations. The heterozygous flies for Notch mutations have notched wings along the edges and at the tips. This mutation is lethal in homozygous and hemizygous condition.

Table.1: The progeny produced by mating of red-eyed Notch female and white-eyed male.

The locus for white eyes is covered with Notch mutations. The female is red-eyed and have Notch mutation, so her genotype would be XRXW. The male is white-eyed, so its genotype would be XWY. The gametes formed by mating between red-eyed Notch female and white-eyed male is shown below:

The progeny produced by mating of red-eyed Notch female and white-eyed male can be seen in Table.1: “The progeny produced by mating of red-eyed Notch female and white-eyed male”.

Conclusion

Notch mutation is lethal in hemizygous and homozygous condition. So males can never have Notch mutation. The proportion of phenotypes produced by mating of red-eyed Notch female with white-eyed male will be 13 would be red-eyed female, 13 would be red-eyed male, and 13 would be white-eyed Notch female.

The proportion of phenotypes produced by mating of white-eyed Notch female with red-eyed male will be 13 would be red-eyed female, 13 would be white-eyed male, and 13 would be red-eyed Notch female.

The proportion of phenotypes produced by mating of white-eyedNotch female with white-eyed male will be 13 would be white-eyed female, 13 would be white-eyed male, and 13 would be white-eyed Notch female.
