In Drosophila, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+), and the gene for this trait is located on an autosome. The gene for the white-eye trait is on the X chromosome. Suppose a homozygous white-eyed, long-winged female fly is crossed with a homozygous red-eyed, vestigial winged male.

. What are the expected genotypes, phenotypes and their ratios in the F1 flies?

P1 white, long females: ______________ X P2 red, vestigial males: ___________________

F1 genotypes: _______________________________________________________________

F1 phenotypes: _______________________________________________________________

2. What are the expected genotypes, phenotypes and their ratios in the F2 flies?

F1 females: _____________________ X F1 males: __________________________

3. What are the expected genotypes and phenotypes, and the ratios of each of the progeny resulting from a cross between F1 flies back to each parent?

F1 female: _____________________ X P2 red, vestigial male: __________________________

F1 male: _____________________ X P1 white, long female: __________________________

2. Black bodies and vestigial wings in Drosophila are caused by recessive alleles on chromosome 2. A long-winged male with yellow-brown body color, homozygous for the wild-type alleles, b+b+ v+v+, was exposed to X-rays to induce mutations in germ-line cells (i.e. to generate mutations in the gametes the male produced). He was then mated to a homozygous recessive black-bodied, vestigial-winged female, bb vv. Among the offspring, a male with a black body and vestigial wings was observed. a. What are...

In D. melanogaster, a homozygous female with mutations for vestigial wings (vg), black body (b) and purple eye color (pr) was mated to a homozygous wild-type male. All the F1 progeny, both male and female, had normal (wild-type) phenotypes for the three characteristics, indicating that the mutations are autosomal recessive. In a testcross of the F1 females with males that have vestigial wings, black body and purple eyes, the progeny were of eight different phenotypes reflecting eight different genotypes. The...

Miniature wings in Drosophila are due to an X-linked allele (Xm) that is recessive to the wild-type allele for normal long wings (X+). Sepia eyes are produced by an autosomal allele (se), which is recessive to the wild-type allele for red eyes (se+). A female that is homozygous for normal wings and has sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has miniature wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 offspring are intercrossed to produce the F2 generation....

32) Normal (wild-type) Drosophila eyes are red. In a cross in Drosophila involving the X-linked recessive eye mutation white (resulting in a white eye) and the autosomal recessive eye mutation sepia (resulting in a dark eye), predict the sex and color of the eyes of the offspring from crossing true-breeding parents for parts A) and B) below. White is epistatic to the expression of sepia (i.e., if an eye is white, it cannot also be sepia; i.e., white masks the...
