In Drosophila melanogaster, black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b+), purple eyes (pr) are recessive to red eyes (pr+), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive to normal wings (vg+). These three genes are linked with pr located between b and vg at a genetic distance of 6 cM from b and 13 cM from vg. Previous experiments have shown that the interference associated with these three genes is 0.5. A fly with a black body, purple eyes and...

A female fruit fly with the recessive mutant phenotype of white eyes and miniature wings is mated with a male possessing the wild-type phenotype of red eyes and normal wings. Among the F1s, all the females are wild-type while all the males exhibit the mutant phenotype. The F2s resulting from a test cross exhibit predominantly (63%) parental phenotypes. How do you explain these results?

In fruit flies, curved wings (c) are recessive to straight wings (C), and ebony body (g) is recessive to gray body (G). A cross was made between true-breeding flies with straight wings and gray bodies and flies with curved wings and ebony bodies. The F1 offspring were then mated to flies with curved wings and ebony bodies to produce an F2 generation (test-cross). The following offspring was observed: 114 curved wings, ebony body 105 curved wings, gray body 111 straight...

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...

Black body (b) and purple eye (pr) are recessive autosomal mutations in Drosophila. Bridges crossed b/b females and pr/pr males. F2 cross produced 684 wild-type, 371 black-bodied, and 300 purple-eyes flies. Do these result indicate that the b and pr genes are closely linked? Explain. Remember that there is no crossing over in male Drosophila
