16 - The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly the is homozygous for normal wings with a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect? a) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (256), vestigial (256), hairy (256), and vestigial hairy (256). b) O Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (576), vestigial (192), hairy (192), and vestigial hairy (64). C) Phenotypes: wild, vestigial, hairy, and vestigial hairy; Numbers expected: wild (192), vestigial (256), hairy (64), and vestigial hairy (192). d) All vestigial hairy. e) All wild type.

Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?
8-9. White eyes (w) is sex-linked and recessive in Drosophila. Cruved wings(cu) and black body (b) are autosomal recessive alleles on the same chromosome, separated by 20 map units.

13 Black coat color (B) in cocker spaniels is dominant to white coat color (b). Solid coat pattern (S) is dominant to spotted pattern (s). The pattern arrangement is located on a different chromosome than the one for color, and its gene segregates independently of the color gene. A male that is black with a solid pattern mates with three females. Indicate the genotypes of the parents. a) The mating with female A, which is white, solid, produces four pups: two black, solid, and two white, solid. b) The mating with female B, which is black, solid, produces a single pup, which is white, spotted. c) The mating with female C, which is white, spotted, produces four pups: one white, solid; one white spotted; one black, solid; one black, spotted.

I. Male Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-typestock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated withfemales from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome:yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings(ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m).These markers are known to map in the order:y - cv - ct - sn - mMost of the female progeny of this cross were phenotypically wild type, but one female exhibited ct and snphenotypes. When this exceptional ct sn female wasmated with a male from the true-breeding wild-typestock, twice as many females as males appearedamong the progeny.a. What is the nature of the X-ray-induced mutationpresent in the exceptional female?b. Draw the X chromosomes present in the exceptional ct sn female as they would appear duringpairing in meiosis.c. What phenotypic classes would you expect to seeamong the progeny produced by mating the exceptional ct sn female with a normal male from a truebreeding wild-type…

7 Cinnabar eyes is a X-linked recessive characteristic in fruit flies. If a female having cinnabar eyes is crossed with a normal wild-type male, what percentage of the F1 males will have cinnabar eyes?
mapping gene The genes for ruby eyes (rb), tan body (t) and cut wings (ct) are all found on the X-chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. All of these are recessive traits. They map in the order rb, ct, t with 12.5 map units between rb and ct and 7.5 map units between ct and t. Suppose you cross a cut wing male with a homozygous female that is both tan and has ruby eyes. What will the F1 females look like? Draw map of the section of the X chromosomes that has these 3 genes for the F1 females Assume you testcross your F1 females. What progeny classes would you expect? ii. Give approximate numbers for each class based on a total of 2000 progeny. Assuming the i=1 and there are no double crossovers. Assuming the i=0 and there are the expected number of double crossovers.
15-16. In the fruit fly, vestigial (tiny) wings and hairy body are produced by recessive genes. The normal alleles, long wings and hairless body, are dominant. If a vestigial- winged male heterozygous for hairless is crossed with a hairy female heterozygous for long wings, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1? F2Phenotypes = 1/4 normal wings/hairless 1/4 normal wings/hairy 1/4 vestigial wings/hairless 1/4 vestigial wings/hairy = 1:1:1:1 ratio F1 Phenotypes = 1/4 normal wings/hairless 1/4 normal wings/hairy 1/4 vestigial wings/hairless 1/4 vestigial wings/hairy = 1:1:1:1 ratio F1 Genotypes = 1/4 NnHh 1/4 Nnhh 1/4 nnHh 1/4 nnhh = 1:1:1:1 ratio F1 Phenotypes = All normal wings/hairy = 1:0 ratio
Dominant negative Incomplete dominance Epistasis Recessive lethal allele III ||| E A condition where one gene has the ability to override the expression of another gene no matter what the relationship is between the other gene's alleles. A condition when a new mutation is able to suppress or revert an earlier mutation allowing wildtype function to reappear. A condition where a recessive allele influences the shape of a protein dimer product in the heterozygous condition so that it neither resembles the homozygous dominant nor the homozygous recessive conditions leading to a LOF in the heterozygous state and the recessive state. A condition where two recessive alleles will be fatal to an offspring although it will not affect a

Translotations between the X and Y chromosomes are not produced. Explain the absence of X-Y translocations. The birth of this child prompted the Dentons' physician to order a chromosome study of parents and child. The results of the study are shown in the accompanying fig- ure. Chromosome banding was done, and all chromo- somes were normal in these individuals, except some copies of number 6 and number 12. The number-6 and number-12 chromosomes of mother, father, and child are shown in the figure (the number 6 chromosomes are the larger pair): Child Mrs. Denton Mr. Denton a.
