Answer #1

Answer: d) Dihybrid

The cross is between flies which differ in two traits, body color and wing type. Dihybrid cross is also characterized as a cross between two different lines which differ in two observable traits. Due to this reason the correct answer is dihybrid cross. From the given number of offspring and deduced ratio it cannot be monohybrid cross or test cross involving one gene. It cannot be a test cross involving two genes because the genotype of the phenotypically dominant individual is already known which means that it is a dihybrid cross.

    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,...

    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)...

    Please answer the following two questions. Show all your work. Thanks in advance. 9. In Drosophila yellow body color is caused by a sex-linked recessive allele and brown eye color is an autosomal recessive trait. A phenotypically normal female fly, heterozygous for both genes, is crossed to a male with normal body color and brown eyes. What proportion of their offspring should have yellow body color and brown eyes? A) 1/16 B) 1/8 C) 1/4 D) 3/16 E) 3/8 ANSWER:...
