Answer Choices:
A) No
B) More information is needed to determine eye color
C) Yes
A cross between C and D does not show complementation. The (-) sign indicates that the genes are located on the same chromosome.

! Required information Fruit flies normally have red eyes. Seven different true-breeding strains of fly with white eyes have been identified (A-G). In each strain, the white eye trait is due to an autosomal recessive allele. It is possible all seven strains have mutations in the same gene. Alternatively, they may have mutations in different genes. To determine how many genes are involved in eye...
Answer Choices:
A) Only one of the strains has a mutation in an eye color
gene.
b) Strains C and D have mutations in different genes.
C) Strains C and D have mutations in the same gene.
D) More information is needed to infer the location of
mutations.

Required information Fruit flies normally have red eyes. Seven different true-breeding strains of fly with white eyes have been identified (A-G). In each strain, the white eye trait is due to an autosomal recessive allele. It is possible all seven strains have mutations in the same gene. Alternatively, they may have mutations in different genes. To determine how many genes are involved in eye color in these flies, pair-wise crosses are performed between each strain. The offspring phenotypes resulting from...
You are working with the fruit fly that generally exhibits a brick red eye color (wild-type). In one stock vial you recover an eye color mutant with brown eyes that you use to eventually derive a pure-breeding brown-eyed stock. Your friend, performing independent studies on the fruit fly, also recovers a pure breeding brown eye color mutant that is phenotypically identical to your strain. How would you go about determining if the two pure-breeding brown-eyed mutant strains represent mutations in...
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...
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...
Design a series of crosses in which you can tell a fly with a lobe allele, but a wild type phenotype, from a true wild type fly. Hint: Lobe is a dominant autosomal allele that exhibits variable expressivity, in which the eye size and number of facets is reduced; the eye may also have a nick or nicks in the edge in this mutant. Lobe also demonstrates incomplete penetrance; in the true breeding strain, the eye may also be wild...
studying gene silencing using the fly eye as a model. Below is a diagram showing part of fly chromosome 3, including heterochromatin (striped region) near the centromere, euchromatin (solid region) two boundary elements, and three genes (spiky, green, and tiny). Recall that fly gene names are based off of their mutant phenotypes, so spiky LOF mutations make mutant eye cells spiky (rather than wild-type round), green LOF mutations make mutant eye cells green (rather than wild-type red), and tiny LOF...
Practice 7.1. Cross a female fly with the eyeless mutation (a) for eye shape but normal bristle (b+) to a male fly with wild type eye shape (a+) with shaven bristles (b). Both of these genes are located on Mate a female fly with mutant traits of a black body (c), bristle (b), and wing veins (v) to a wild- type male (normal body color (c+), bristle (b+), and wing size (v+)]. These three alleles are located on chromosome II...
