If red eye and vestigial-wing female fly are crossed toa pure-breeding white-eyed normal winged male fly and generate F1 progeny. and those F1 males and females are crossed, what proportion of the F2 progeny will be red-eyed and female, with vestigial wings in fractional form
Red Eyed Vestigial winged female fly = ww + XX
White eyed normal winged male fly = WW + xY
Cross ------------> ww + XX x WW + xY
Gametes -------------> w+ X W + x W + Y
F1 -------------------------> Ww + Xx Ww + XY
(Red Eyed, Normal winged female) (White eyed Normal winged male)
Ww + Xx x Ww + XY
Gametes ------------> W+ X W+x w+X w+x W+X W+Y w+X w+Y
W+X | W+x | w+X | w+x | |
W+X |
WW+XX |
WW+Xx | Ww+XX | Ww+Xx |
W+Y | WW+XY | WW+xY | WW+XY | Ww+xY |
w+X | Ww+XX | Ww+Xx | ww+XX (Red eyed vestigial winged female) | ww+Xx (Red eyed vestigial winged) |
w+Y | Ww+XY | Ww+xY | ww+XY | ww+xY |
Proportion of Red eyed vestigial winged female = 2/16 = 1/8 = 0.125
