The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is cont

The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is controlled by genes on each of the fly?s four chromosome pairs. One eye-color gene is on the fly?s X chromosome, so the trait is inherited in a sex-linked manner. For this sex-linked trait, the wild-type (brick red) allele is dominant over the mutant vermilion (bright red) allele. A homozygous wild-type female fly is mated with a vermilion male fly. X+ X+ * X^p Y Predict the eye colors of F1 and F2 generations. (Assume that the F1 flies are allowed to interbreed to produce the F2 generation.) Drag the correct label to the appropriate location in the table. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all. See the picture for the whole question

    In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive brown eye color mutation (b) displays interactions with both the X-linked recessive vermilion mutation (v) and the autosomal recessive scarlet (s) mutation. Flies homozygous for brown and simultaneously hemizygous or homozygous for vermilion have white eyes. Flies simultaneously homozygous for both the brown and scarlet mutations also have white eyes. Flies that are wildtype at all 3 loci have wildtype eye color. Flies that are homozygous or hemizygous for the recessive mutant at only one...

    In Drosophila, red eyes is a wild-type phenotype. Several different genes affect eye color. One allele causes purple eyes, and a different allele causes sepia eyes. Both of these are recessive to red eye color. When flies with purple eyes were crossed to flies with sepia eyes, all F1 flies had red eyes. When the F1 offspring were allowed to mate, the F2 flies were as follows: 162 purple eyes 172 sepia eyes 58 purplish sepia eyes 478 red eyes...

    In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermillion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes caused by the wild-type allele. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, brown (bw), causes flies to have brown eyes. Flies carrying both mutations have no eye pigmentation and are white-eyed. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios for each sex from the following crosses: (a) brown females X vermillion males (b) white-eyed females X wild-type males

    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...

    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...

    In Drosophila, b+ is the allele for normal body color and at the same gene b is the allele for black body color. A second gene controls wing shape. The shape can be either normal (vg+) or vestigial (vg). A cross is made between a homozygous wild type fly and fly with black body and vestigial wings. The offspring were then mated to black body, vestigial winged flies. The following segregation ratio was observed: Phenotype # Observed Wild Type (normal,...

    1. Four eye-color variants in Drosophila- brown, carnation, apricot, and purple - are inherited as recessive traits. Red is the dominant wild-type color. Eight crosses are made between parents of pure-breeding lines. Which of these traits are inherited as X-linked and which are autosomal? Explain how you distinguish between X-inked and autosomal inheritance. a. b. Predict the F2 ratios of crosses between the F1 progeny in A, B, D, and G Cross Parents F1 Progeny FemaleMale Red Red Red Red...

    In Genetics lab, you decide to further investigate Drosophila eye color. In addition to studying the sepia gene (se), you decide to study the gene mahogany eyes (mo). Flies that are mo-/mo- have brown eyes. You wonder if a fly that is a double mutant for sepia and mahogany eyes would have very dark brown (almost black) eyes. Because se and mo are both on the third chromosome, you have to do a recombination. You look through a former labmate’s...
