Dear Student,
A kind request. Please do mention the question number for which you want to know the answer from next time . According to HomeworkLib rules I have provided the answer for the first question posted.
So, the sons in F1 progeny Veemillion and daughters are wild.
Hope this helps you ??
Question 3. The vermillion mutation in flies is X-linked, while the brown mutation is autosomal. Which...
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
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...
please show all work. 2. To understand the genetic basis of locomotion in the diploid nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, recessive mutations were obtained, all making the worm "twitch" ineffectually instead of moving with its usual smooth gliding motion. These mutations presumably affect the nervous or muscle systems. Twelve homozygous mutants were intercrossed, and the hybrids were examined to see if they twitched or not. The results were as follows, where "" means that the hybrid was wild type (gliding) and "t"...
In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermilion (XV) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes of wild type (X+). Part A separate autosomal recessive mutation (br), causes the eyes to be brown. Predict the F1 results of the following cross: normal females x white males. (Assume that the parents are homozygous.) Flies carrying both mutations lose all pigmentation and are white-eyed. Label the diagram by dragging the labels to the appropriate targets. Note: not all labels will...
A mutation in the Drosophila bristle gene (fb) (which is X-chromosome linked) causes a recessive forked bristle phenotype (rather than the normal type of bristle). Another mutation in Drosophila autosomal body color gene (BR) causes a recessive brown color body (rather than the normal black body). A geneticist carried out the following cross: X+ / Y ; BR/br x X+/ Xfb ; BR/br If total of 240 F1 progeny were obtained, the “expected” numbers are: normal bristle male progeny -...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
