You begin working in a genetics lab that uses Drosophila and
find that a previous student has left behind a bottle of flies that
have a yellow (instead of brown) body with no information about the
mutation that leads to the yellow body color. You first determine
that these flies are true breeding, and then set up some crosses.
Cross 1: You cross yellow females with true breeding wild type
males. In the F1s, all of the females have brown bodies, while all
of the males have yellow bodies. The F1s were crossed, and results
are provided in the table. Cross 2: You cross yellow males with
true breeding wild type females. All of the F1s flies have brown
bodies. The F1s were crossed, and results are provided in the
table. Do these data suggest that the yellow mutation is sex
linked? Why or why not?




Felt great to answer. Good luck!

In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive brown eye color mutation
(b) displays interactions with both the X-linked recessive
vermilion mutation (v) and the autosomal recessive scarlet (s)
mutation. Flies homozygous for brown and simultaneously hemizygous
or homozygous for vermilion have white eyes. Flies simultaneously
homozygous for both the brown and scarlet mutations also have white
eyes. Flies that are wildtype at all 3 loci have wildtype eye
color. Flies that are homozygous or hemizygous for the recessive
mutant at only one...
GENETICS: please help explain the following question. Will give
a thumbs up if given the correct information.
z mutation of the ellow (zeste) 11. The partially recessive, X-linked Drosophila gene zeste (z) can produce a yellow eye color only in flies that have two or more the wild-type white (w) gene.

genetics: sorted independently and completely linked
Analyze the following fruit fly cross. In this cross there are two autosomal traits that are influenced by two distinct genes and the F2 generation came from crossing an F1 male with an F1 female. P: true breeding grey eyed; brown bodied males x true breeding red eyed; black bodied females F1: all offspring are red eyed; brown bodied F2: ? When the Fy flies are allowed to self cross, what percentage of F2...
A student working in a genetics lab was given the task of studying a new Drosophila mutation called eyeless. In the time allotted, they were only able to perform the crosses shown below. NOTE: EY refers to the eyeless phenotype and + refers to the wild type phenotype.

In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermilion (XV) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes of wild type (X+). Part A separate autosomal recessive mutation (br), causes the eyes to be brown. Predict the F1 results of the following cross: normal females x white males. (Assume that the parents are homozygous.) Flies carrying both mutations lose all pigmentation and are white-eyed. Label the diagram by dragging the labels to the appropriate targets. Note: not all labels will...
You are working with recessive mutations at two genes in Drosophila: the fused mutation fu causes fused wings and the garnet mutation g causes bright red eyes. You cross a true-breeding strain of wild-type flies with a true-breeding strain with garnet eyes and fused wings. You then cross an F1 female to a true-breeding male with fused wings and garnet eyes. #1) Choose which phenotype(s) in the F2 progeny result from recombination: A) fused wing, wild-type eye B) wild-type wing,...
Normal eye color in flies is red. Mutant flies have brown eye color. Similarly, normal wing length is long. Mutant flies have short wings. A female true breeding fly with brown eyes and short wings is crossed with a true breeding male with red eyes and long wings. In the F1 the female flies are red eyed and long winged. The male flies are red eyed and short winged. F1 males are crossed to F1 females Both sexes of F2...
Drosophila genetics hw. Can someone help explain this
You are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the "P" generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Indicate the alleles associated with dominant phenotypes by uppercase letters and alleles associated with recessive phenotypes by lowercase letters. Assume the genes are...
Please help me solve these review problems, please show
work it'll help me understand how to solve them if on my upcoming
exam. Thank you, and I will be sure to give thumbs up.
