In Drosophila the allele for gray body color is dominant over the allele for yellow body color and the allele for red eyes over the allele crimson eyes. Both genes are located on the same chromosome. The distance between them is equal to 33.8%. From crossing a heterozygous gray female with red eyes with a yellow male with crimson eyes, 49 gray flies with crimson eyes, 46 yellow flies with red eyes, 151 gray flies with red eyes, and 145 yellow flies with crimson eyes were obtained. Write a crossing diagram. Determine the amount of interference.

Question text In drosophila (fruit flies): The yellow gene is on the X-chromosome, the gene product plays a role in body colour. Wild type flies are a light brown/tan in colour, homozygote yellow mutants have a more yellow shaded body colour. We'll use y+ to represent the wild type allele, and y to represent the mutant allele. y+ is dominant to y. The vestigial gene is on chromosome 2. Homozygote vestigial mutants have very short wings, and cannot fly. We'll...

A phenotypically wilptype F1 female fruit fly that was heterozygous for genes controlling body color and wing length was crossed to a homozygous mutant male tester with black body (mutant allele b) and vestigial wings (mutant allele vg). a. Symbolize the genotype of the dihybrid female and tester male using appropriate Drosophila gene symbolism using b+ and vg+ for the wildtype dominant alleles; b and vg for the recessive mutant alleles. b. What is the genotype of the F1 dihybrid...

3a. In a certain breed of dog long hair is dominant over short hair; the gene involved is autosomal. Another gene, B controls hair colour, which is X-linked, one allele B1 produces gray coloured hair; the other allele B2 produces red coloured hair; and the heterozygous combination B1B2 produces brindle coloured hair (a mix with patches of both gray and red coloured hairs). If a red male homozygous for long hair is mated with a brindle short-haired female, what kind...

Wing size in Drosophila results from a pair of X-linked partially dominant alleles. LM produces long wings and Lm produces miniature wings. When both alleles are present in the heterozygous condition, medium-sized wings are produced. A female fly with miniature wings is crossed with a male that has long wings. a). What are the genotypes of the female and male flies described above? What are the genotypes of the gametes that each fly makes? (4 pts) Female genotype:                                                         Female gamete(s):...

The F1 double heterozygote is shown below using chromosome notation. st+ e / st e+ st = the recessive allele for scarlet eyes; st+ = the dominant wildtype allele for red eyes e = the recessive allele for ebony body; e+ is the dominant wildtype allele for gray body.Are the chromosomes shown in the genotype above in cis...

In tomatoes, red fruit color (Y) is the dominant allele to yellow (yy) fruit color; and tallness (D) of the plant is the dominant allele to dwarfism (dd). If pure breeding strain of a tall, red fruited variety is crossed with a pure breeding strain of dwarf, yellow fruited variety. Give the genotypes of these parents, and the phenotypic and genotypic ratio in the F1, and F2 generations.

Three Drosophila genes on the X chromosome occupy three different loci. The mutant versions of these genes are y for yellow body ct for cut wing ec for echinus (spiky eyes) When a cross is between female X, and male Y flies, the P and F1 have the following genotype + + +/y ct ec When the F1 is selfed to create the F2, most wild type genes remain linked on the same chromosome, as do the mutant genes on...

task Black body color and scarlet eyes are determined by two-genes recessive alleles, which are located on different auto-atoms in Drosophila melanogaster. A F1 she crossed from an intersection between the two pervasive tribes, "black body color" and "scarlet eyes", to an F1 male from a cross between the pervasive strains of "black body color" and "black body color with the scarlet-colored eyes". What phenotypes can you expect from the offspring of this crossing and what are the expected phenotype...
