Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow (y), white (w), and cut (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F1 males expressed the yellow-body and white-eye traits. The cross was carried to an F2 progeny, and only male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed.
Phenotype | Male Offspring | ||
y | + | ct | 9 |
+ | w | + | 6 |
y | w | ct | 90 |
+ | + | + | 95 |
+ | + | ct | 424 |
y | w | + | 376 |
y | + | + | 0 |
+ | w | ct | 0 |
(a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents.
(b) Construct a map, assuming that white is at locus 1.5 on the X chromosome.
(c) Were any double-crossover offspring expected?
(d) Could the F2 female offspring be used to construct the map? Why or why not?
