2. A wild-type strain of flies was crossed to another strain homozygous for the recessive X-linked...
In Drosophila melanogaster, the recessive X-linked alleles white (w), miniature (m) and forked (f) give the phenotypes white eyes, miniature wings and forked brushes. The recombination between the w and m loci is 35%, and between the m and f loci, 20%. Wild-type males were crossed with females from a strain that was homozygous recessive for the three alleles, then the F1 flies were sibling mated. What phenotype frequencies are expected in F2 a) if there is no interference, and...

4. In Drosophila, the genes y, f, and v are all X-linked. y fv females are crossed to wild-type males and the F, females are test-crossed. The F2 males are distributed as follows: Phenotype Number 3210 72 1024 678 690 1044 60 3222 10,000 Give the genotype of the F1 females that gave rise to these progeny to show linkage phase? (2 points) A. 8. Which phenotypic classes are the parental types? (2 points) C....
