Answer #1

1.Chromosome 1 (the X)

Reason:Balanced marker stock

It is relatively easy to determine the chromosome on which a mutation is located using the balanced marker stock Curly/Plum (2); Dichaete/Stubble (3). This stock is perpetually heterozygous for the four dominant mutant genes Cy, Pm, D and Sb which are lethal when homozygous. Cy (Curly wing) and Pm (Plum eye colour) are located on chromosome 2, while D (Dichaete wing - affects wing shape) and Sb (Stubble bristles) are third chromosome mutants.

No crossing over will occur between Cy and Pm, nor between D and Sb because these genes are associated with chromosome inversions. Cy/Pm D/Sb is a balanced lethal stock; the flies breed true when crossed among themselves. All flies of this strain are therefore heterozygous at these loci.

The HAIR gene (abbreviated as H) controls hair color with the dominant phenotype being dark brown hair and the recessive phenotype being blonde hair. The WIDOW gene (abbreviated as W) controls the presence of a ‘widows peak’ in the hairline (having a point at the center of the hairline). Having a widows peak is dominant and not having a widows peak is recessive. Gene H and Gene W are linked genes. Two individuals with the genotypes indicated below mate (note:...

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...
