The result given in the table for the test cross clearly shows that the flies have genes that are closely linked.
The genes for wing shape is independent whereas the genes for body and eye color are linked together.
This can be concluded by the result of the flies in the F2 generation. It clearly shows that the parental allelic pair of genes are also found in the F2 generation in a higher number, that the pair pink and ebony. Also the gene for wing shape is independent and hence is present in the highest number in test cross result.

3-3. In the fruit fly, Dichaete (D) is a dominant autosomal mutation that affects wing shape; it is lethal when homozygous. Ebony body, e, and rose eye, r, are recessive mutations also located on the same chromosome. Dichaete flies were crossed to pure-breeding ebony, rose flies. Among the F1 were Dichaete progeny with normal body and eye color. Female Dichaete F1 were test-crossed to ebony, rose males, with the results listed below. (Show your work!) A.

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,...

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,...

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...

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:...

16. Use the following information to answer the questions below. Drosophila (fruit flies) usually have long wings (+) but mutations in two different genes can result in bent wings (bt) or vestigial wings (vg). If a homozygous bent wing fly is mated with a homozygous vestigial wing fly, which of the following offspring would you expect? a. 1/2 bent and vestigial to 1/2 normal b. 1/2 bent and 1/2 vestigial flies c. 3/4 bent to 1/4 vestigial ratio d. all...
