- The normal sequence of markers on a certain Drosophila chromosome is ABCDE*FGHIJK, where the asterisk represents the centromere. Some flies were isolated with a chromosome aberration that has the following structure: ABCDE*FIJK . This represents a O a) deletion of GH segment O b) inversion of GH segment O c) deletion O d) deletion of centromereIt is assumed that in Drosophila the following genotypes produce phenotypes. َA- B- = Red color A- bb = Plum color aa B- = Magenta color aa bb = White color The third latent genotype, cc, kills homozygous Plums, but has no effect on other genotypes. Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype. If first-generation Drosophilas are heterozygous for all of these genes and interbreed, what phenotypic ratios are expected in society?Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.
- Imagine Drosophila genes C, D, and E are autosomal genes located close to each other on the same chromosome (same assumptions as the first problem). You cross a C D E homozygote with a c d e homozygote, then cross the F1 females with a c d e homozygous male. Of 400 progeny, you observe the following phenotypes: 135 CDE 139 cde 22 cDE 18 Cde 42 CdE 38 cDe 3 cdE 3 CDe a. What is the order of the genes? Calculate the distance between genes and draw a map to get the final answer. Question 2 options: 1.CED 2. DEC 3. ECD 4. DCEIn Drosophila, a heterozygous female for the X-linkedrecessive traits a, b, and c was crossed to a male that phenotypically expressed a, b, and c. The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) What is the genotypic arrangement of the alleles ofthese genes on the X chromosome of the female?A female Drosophila with the mutant phenotype 'notched wings' was mated to a wild type male. Two-thirds of the progeny were female. Half of the females had notched wings and the other half had wild type wings and all the male progeny had wild type wings. When the notched progeny were mated to their wild type brothers, the same results were obtained. Explain.

The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) What progeny phenotypes are missing? Why?Female Drosophila heterozygous for three recessive mutations e (ebony body), st (scarlet eyes), and ss (spineless bristles) were testcrossed, and the following progeny were obtained: Phenotype Number wild-type 67 ebony 8 ebony, scarlet 68 ebony, spineless 347 ebony, scarlet, spineless 78 scarlet 368 scarlet, spineless 10 spineless 54 (a) What indicates that the genes are linked? (b) What was the genotype of the original heterozygous females? (c) What is the order of the genes? (d) What is the map distance between e and st? (e) Between e and ss? (f) What is the coefficient of coincidence? (g) Diagram the crosses in this experiment.In Drosophila, a cross was made between females—all expressing the three X-linked recessive traits scute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v)—and wild-type males. In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1000 offspring were counted, with the results shown in the following table. Phenotype Offspring sc s v 314 + + + 280 + s v 150 sc + + 156 sc + v 46 + s + 30 sc s + 10 + + v 14 No determination of sex was made in the data. (a) Using proper nomenclature, determine the genotypes of the P1 and F1 parents. (b) Determine the sequence of the three genes and the map distances between them. (c) Are there more or fewer double crossovers than expected? (d) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence. Does it represent positive or negative interference?
- Three recessive mutations in that affect eye colour, wing shape and body colourarew, m and b. The following numbers were obtained for testcross progeny in Drosophila. Number Phenotype + m + w + b + + b w m + m b 218 236 168 178 95 101 w + + + 3 w mb 1 (i) Determine the chromosomal composition of the heterozygous female parent. Construct a genetic map of the linkage group(s) these genes occupy. Show the order and give the map distances between the genes. (ii)Male Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-type stock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated with females from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome: yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings (ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m). These markers are known to map in the order: Recessive alleles: y, cv, ct, sn, m Dominant alleles: y+, cv+, ct+, sn+, m+ y-cv-ct-sn-m у CV ct sn m X-rays х х X ct sn CV у m y+ CV+ ct+ sn+ m+ х X ? Exceptional female: Most of the female progeny of this cross were phenotypically wild type, but one female exhibited ct and sn mutant characteristics. When this exceptional ct sn female was mated with a male from the true-breeding wild-type stock, twice as many females as males appeared among the progeny. a. What is the nature of the X-ray-induced mutation present in the exceptional female? b. Draw the X chromosomes present in the exceptional ct sn female as they would appear during pairing…A Drosophila strain with two mutated phenotypes was crossed with a wild-type Drosophila strain. The wild-type phenotypes were present in all of the F1 flies. The F1 flies were bred with one another. The F2 generation, on the other hand, did not have the predicted 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. Explain why these outcomes occurred.
