In Drosophila melanogaster (the common fruit fly), the allele for long, normal wings is dominant over a recessive allele for short, stubby wings called wingless. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected for the F1 generation for the following cross? Homozygous Long Wings X Heterozygous
Please look in the image for solution:
The long wing wing is encoded by L which is dominant over l allele.
The long leg is encoded by dominant allele L. And it is dominant over l allele.
parents genotype are: LL ( homozygous long) × Ll ( heterozygous)
Punnet square:
Gametes | L | l |
L | LL ( long leg) | Ll ( long leg) |
Phenotypic ratio: Long leg (1) : short leg (0) or 1
Genotypic ratio: LL (1) : Ll (1) or 1:1
Please rate high.
