A fruit fly is found that has three sex chromosomes (XXY) and three of each autosome. The sex of this fruit fly is _ because ___.
A. female; it has a 1:1 ratio of sex chromosomes to autosomes
B. male; it has a Y chromosome
C. female; it has 2 X chromosomes
D. intersex; it has an X:A ratio between 0.5 and 1
E. impossible to determine; sex is influenced by environment in insects

Female fruit flies typically have two X chromosomes; male fruit flies typically have one X and one Y chromosome. They have other chromosomes too that are NOT sex chromosomes. Suppose there is a gene in fruit flies that influences the hairs a fly has on its thorax (the middle section of its body). A recessive allele of this gene causes the hairs to be very thick, while a dominant allele causes the hairs to be very thin. Suppose a heterozygous...

Fruit flies are sexually reproducing insects with separate male and female individuals. Like most mammals, including humans, males have an X and a Y chromosome, and females have two X chromosomes.

Human Development-Sex Variations Individuals may acquire chromosomal sex variations, where the number and type of sex chromosomes are not average. A list of some of these variations is below. For each one, predict if the zygote would be assigned male or female or intersex at birth. Later, compare your predictions to the actual phenotypes. Zygote Phenotype Predicted Sex Sex Chromosomes Chromosomes in Gametes Sperm Egg XY Y X xX X X XO X none XYY X YY XX Y XXY...

Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, has a 2n chromosome number of 8 (4 chromosomes – 3 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome). Assume that you are microscopically examining the mitotic and meiotic cells of this organism. You note that in the female, two chromosomal pairs are metacentric and two pairs are acrocentric. Draw the chromosomal configurations as you would expect to see them at the stages listed: i. mitotic metaphase ii. primary oocyte (meiotic metaphase I) iii. secondary oocyte (meiotic metaphase...

1.a) How do we know that in humans the X chromosomes play no role in sex determination, while the Y chromosome causes maleness and its absence causes femaleness? c) How do we know that X chromosomal inactivation of either the paternal or maternal homolog is a random event during early development in mammalian females? d) How do we know that Drosophila utilizes a different sex-determination mechanism than mammals, even though it has the same sex-chromosome compositions in males and females?...

29, In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. The gene for eye color (R) is found on the X chromosome (X^R). Females have 2 X chromosomes and males are XY. Fill in the following (case sensitive!): Genotype of a white eyed female: Possible female gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): Genotype of a red eyed male: Possible male gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes.

Practice Problem 72 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a haploid chromosome number of n 4, and 2n 8. Chromosome IV in this species is a tiny autosome. Flies trisomic for chromosome IV are fertile and have no apparent defects The eyeless (ey) and gawky (gw) loci are tightly linked on chromosome I Loss-of-function ey and gw alleles are recessive to ey and gw, respectively. Flies homozygous for ey lack eyes, and flies homozygous for gw have disrupted circadian rhythms....
