Offspring of fruit flies may have brown or green bodies and normal wings or short wings. Genetic theory predicts that these traits will appear in the ratio​ 9:3:3:1 (9 brown​, ​normal: 3 brown​, ​short: 3 green​, ​normal: 1 green​, ​short). A researcher checks 100 such flies and finds the distribution of the traits to be 56​, 22​, 11​, and 11​, respectively.

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...

Recitation 5 short-answer assignment You are investigating two traits in fruit flies controlled by one gene each. The b gene controls for body color (black or brown), while the r gene controls for body sculpture (rugose or smooth). After crossing rugose black flies with smooth brown flies, you obtain an F1 generation of 100% smooth black flies. What are the dominant alleles? (1 pt) What are the genotypes of the two parent flies to perform a dihybrid test cross? (1...

Grey body, normal bristle, and straight antennae are wild type in fruit flies. Black body, stubble bristle, and twisted antennae are the corresponding mutant traits for the first isolated mutation in each of the three genes. Grey body, normal bristle, and twisted antennae are dominant. A homozygous dominant female for all three characters is crossed with a recessive male for all three characters to produce an F1 generation that is heterozygous for all three genes. An F1 male is then...
