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: _______________________________________________________________...

Offspring of fruit flies may have red or brown bodies and normal wings or short wings. Genetic theory predicts that these traits will appear in the ratio 9:3:3:1 (9 red, normal: 3 red, short: 3 brown, normal: 1 brown, short). A researcher checks 100 such flies and finds the distribution of the traits to be 55, 20, 14, and 11, respectively. Compute the chi-square statistic. x²= critical value? P-value? Suppose you double the amount of flies to 200 and the...

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...

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?
