In Drosophila black body (B) is dominant to gray (b) and long wings (L) is dominant to short wings (l). The F1 flies were produced by crossing a homozygous black, homozygous long winged fly with a gray short winged fly. (4)
a) Give the genotypes of the Parents and the F1.
b) If an F1 is testcrossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?
c) If the F1 are allowed to interbreed what are the expected phenotypes and probably proportions in the F2 generation?
d) If the F1 is mated with a true breeding black and long winged fly, what would be the expected phenotype(s) and the probably proportions of the F2 generation
a) Give the genotypes of the Parents and the F1.
Parents genotype:
homozygous black, homozygous long winged fly =BBLL
gray short winged fly=bbll
All the F1 flies will be BbLl
Phenotype=heterozygous with black body and long wing
b) If an F1 is testcrossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?
