The common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is the most studied organism in genetic research because it is small, is easy to grow, and reproduces rapidly. The length of the thorax (where the wings and legs attach) in a population of male fruit flies is approximately Normal with mean 0.800 millimeters (mm) and standard deviation 0.078 mm.Use software or Table A.
a. What proportion of flies have thorax length less than 0.66 mm? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.)
b. What proportion of flies have thorax length greater than 0.93 mm? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.)
c. What proportion of flies have a thorax of length between 0.66 mm and 0.93 mm? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.)

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....

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...

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,...

Assortment of genes on same chromosome In the fruit fly Drosophila, there is a dominant gene for normal wings and its recessive allele for vestigial wings. At another gene locus. there is a dominant gene for red eyes and its recessive allele for purple eyes. A female that was heterozygous at both gene loci was mated with a male that is homozygous for both recessive alleles. Knowing this, complete the sentences with the correct terms. 94% crossing over independent assortment...

Hello, I did a lab about the foraging behavior of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). Where an experiment was conducted to see whether fruit flies (starved for 12 hours, only water was given) would prefer Real Banana V.S. Banana-flavoured Sucrose. The results I got were 88 picked banana, 23 picked banana sucrose and 29 picked both. The hypothesis I stated is that there is NO difference in foraging behavior of flies but that is obviously incorrect, ---------- SO HERES MY QUESTIONS...

P-elements are a type of transposon commonly used in Drosophila (fruit fly) research. A common marker for P-elements is the miniwhite + gene, an engineered version of the white locus. Flies mutant for the natural white have white eyes instead of wild-type red eyes. A miniwhite + gene on a P-element in a white mutant will produce eye pigment, and will act as a dominant marker indicating that the P-element is present. P-elements used for research are nonautonomous, meaning that...

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...
