In Drosophila, the recessive allele for forked bristles is X-linked, and the recessive allele for purple eyes is autosomal. The wild- type alleles are for straight bristles and red eyes, respectively. A female heterozygous for both pairs is mated with a male with forked bristles and purple eyes. What percentage of the males will have forked bristles and purple eyes? O 25% 50% O 75% O 100%

The F1 flies described in question 1 were mated with brown-eyed flies from a true-breeding line. What phenotypes would you expect the offspring to have? (a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
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?
In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to ebony-colored (very dark) bodies, and normal-sized eyes are dominant to eyelessness. Line A is true breeding for normal bodies and normal eyes, whereas line B is true breeding for ebony bodies and eyelessness. From an F2 cross between lines A and B, what fraction will have exactly one of the recessive traits? O 1/16 3/16 3/8 9/16 5/8
Part 2 Spotty and Cutie have puppies and 50% of the puppies are unaffected for both traits (not blind and not BHFD). What is Spotty's genotype? bbDD bbdd BBDd BbDd BbDD BBdd
The production of eye-color pigment in Drosophila requires the dominant allele A. The dominant allele P of asecond independent gene turns the pigment to purple,but its recessive allele leaves it red. A fly producing nopigment has white eyes. Two pure lines were crossedwith the following results:P red-eyed female white-eyed maleF1 purple-eyed femalesred-eyed malesF1 F1purple eyed 38red eyed 38white eyed 28F both males and females: 2Explain this mode of inheritance, and show the genotypesof the parents, the F1, and the F2.
The presence of horns on satyrs is produced by a sex-influenced autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 are then intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 generation will be horned? O % of the males and none of the females O % of males and % of females O All of the males and none of the females O % of the males and % of females O ½ of the males and none of the females
In Drosophila, sepia colored eyes are due to a recessive allele s and red eyes are due to a dominant allele S. If females with sepia eyes are crossed with homozygous males with red eyes, what phenotypic proportions will F1 y F2 respectively?
In Drosophila fruit flies, the genes for warped wings (dwp), rumpled bristles (rmp), and pallid wings (pld) are linked. A trihybrid female for all three allleles is crossed with homozygous recessive male for all three alleles and the offspring obtained showed the following phenotypes: 3 pld rmp dwp 428 pld rmp + 427 + + dwp 48 + rmp + 47 pld + dwp 23 pld + + 2 + + + 22 + rmp dwp What is the order and map distance between these three alleles?
In Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn+ and ct+ is crossed to a sn ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows sn ct 36 sn ct+ 13 sn+ ct 12 sn+ ct+ 39 What is the map distance between sn and ct?
