You look through a former labmate’s notebook and see that she has previously done this experiment! Once she generated the se- mo-/se- mo- fly, she even performed a cross between the homozygous double mutant and a heterozygous fly to map the distance between the two alleles. Her resulting progeny were as follows:
1,339 wild-type flies
1,195 black-eyed flies
151 sepia-eyed flies
154 brown-eyed flies
Please look in the image for solution:
The double mutant type of 60 are=( 5.371/100) ×60=3.22 = 3( approx)
We found 3 double mutant progeny out of 60 .
In Genetics lab, you decide to further investigate Drosophila eye color. In addition to studying the...
The genes for sepia eye color, short bristles, and dark body coloration are on the same chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. Each gene has two alleles: wild type, which is dominant, or mutant, which is recessive. se+ is dominant and causes red eyes; se is recessive and causes sepia eyes sb+ is dominant and causes long bristles; sb is recessive and causes short bristles b+ is dominant and causes gray body coloration; b is recessive and causes dark...
Drosophila genetics hw. Can someone help explain this You are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the "P" generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Indicate the alleles associated with dominant phenotypes by uppercase letters and alleles associated with recessive phenotypes by lowercase letters. Assume the genes are...
all of them please Question 10 (1 point) In Drosophila, the mutant black (b) has a black body and the wild-type (b+) has a gray body; the mutant vestigial (v) has wings that are short and crumpled compared the long wild-type wings (V+). These genes are linked and are located on the X- chromosome. A cross between a female fly and a black, vestigial winged male fly produced the following progeny: gray (b+), normal (v+) 20 gray (b+), vestigial (v)...
The allele se gives Drosophila a sepia body and se+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele ro of a separate gene gives rough eyes and ro+ gives smooth eyes, the wild-type phenotype. The allele ss of a third gene gives flies without thorax spines and ss+ gives flies with thorax spines, the wild-type phenotype. When females heterozygous for each of these genes were testcrossed with sepia, rough, spineless males, the following classes and numbers of progeny were obtained: wild...
BIO340 Recitation 5 Spring 2020 Your professor is having you look at two genes in Drosophila fruit flies to determine experimentally whether they are linked. One trait is eye color and two alleles are present at the gene: se+ is the wild-type allele for red eyes, and se is the mutant, recessive allele for sepia eyes. The second trait is body color and two alleles are present at this gene: e+ is the wild-type allele for grey body, and e...
Genetic Linkage The six genes listed below are all located on Chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. Your goal is to construct a genetic map of Chromosome 2. That is, determine the order of these genes along chromosome 2 and the map distance in centimorgans between each gene. To complete this task, you will be given the results of a variety of two-point test crosses involving these genes. For each test cross you may assume that the female is heterozygous and...
the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, an allele (v) of the gene vermillion gives flies purple eyes and is recessive to the wildtype red eye color (v+). An allele y of the yellow gene, gives flies a yellow body color compared to the dominant brown body color (yt). A heterozygous females for the two different mutations is test-crossed with mutant (i.e., homozygous recessive) males. The phenotypes of the progeny of this cross and their corresponding numbers are given below Yellow body,...
2. The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body, and bt gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives nonwaxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn* gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified as follows: 5 wild type, 6 black waxy cinnabar, 69 waxy cinnabar, 67 black, 382...
You are working with the fruit fly that generally exhibits a brick red eye color (wild-type). In one stock vial you recover an eye color mutant with brown eyes that you use to eventually derive a pure-breeding brown-eyed stock. Your friend, performing independent studies on the fruit fly, also recovers a pure breeding brown eye color mutant that is phenotypically identical to your strain. How would you go about determining if the two pure-breeding brown-eyed mutant strains represent mutations in...
