A frutifly with two sets of autosomes and XXY will be a normal female. In Drosophila, the Y chromosome is not necessary to confer male sex but is required for sperm development genes. The sex is instead determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to that of autosomes. Here, two X: two autosomes, ratio=1, therefore female. When ratio is 0.5, it will be a male (example- XY and two autosomes).When ration is greater than one, it is metafemale. When ratio is less than 0.5, it is metamale.

A fruit fly is found that has three sex chromosomes (XXY) and three of each autosome. The sex of this fruit fly is _ because ___. A. female; it has a 1:1 ratio of sex chromosomes to autosomes B. male; it has a Y chromosome C. female; it has 2 X chromosomes D. intersex; it has an X:A ratio between 0.5 and 1 E. impossible to determine; sex is influenced by environment in insects
A white eyes female fruit fly is mated to a red eyed (wild type) male. While most of their progeny are as expected, occasionally a white eyed female is produced due to nondisjunction in the female. What is the likely karyotype of this white eyed daughter? (assume all fruit flies have AA as autosomes)!! (Please explain :) ) A) XX B) XXY C) XO D) XXX Y) XYY

D. ? 8. A female fruit fly is heterozygous for two genes, A and B. Gene A is X-linked, Whereas gene B is not. If this female is mated to a male that is recessive for both genes, predict the frequency of progeny genotypes. Show your work. A. Identify parental genotypes B. Identify the gametes C. Perform the cross D. Calculate the frequencies:

Fruit Fly Lab Worksheet Part A: using the site mate your two parental flies to obtain the Fı generation and answer questions 1 through 9. Questions: 1. What is the phenotype of the female generation fly? 2. What is the genotype of the female P generation fly? 3. What is the phenotype of the male P generation fly? 4. What is the genotype of the male P generation fly? Draw a Punnett square...
Drosophila melanogaster (the pumice fly, sometimes called a fruit fly) normally has gray bodies. When two normal-looking flies ( coded parent 1 and parent 2) were crossed, all 100 of their offspring have normal gray bodies. From among the 100 offspring, two mating pairs are picked at random. One pair is coded Male 1 and Female 1; the other pair is coded Male 2 and Female 2. The Male 1 -female 1 mating produced 74 offspring with gray bodies and...
A cross was made between a male fruit fly with purple eyes and two different female flies with red eyes. The first female produced 41 progeny that all had red eyes, whereas the second female produced 18 progeny with red eyes and 21 progeny with purple eyes. a. Diagram the two crosses in words (you don't need to show the genotypes yet). b. Which eye color is dominant and which is recessive? How do you know? c. Choose a symbol...
what would f1 and f2 offering phenotypes be when crossing a white eyed female fruit fly with a wild type/red eyed male? in f1 I got all males white eyes and all females red eyes. f2 hasnt hatched and would like to know what to expect. thank you.
4.3-4. The gene for eye color in a certain male fruit fly has alleles (R, W). The gene for eye color in the mating female fruit fly also has alleles (R, W). Their offspring receive one allele for eye color from each parent. If an offspring ends up with either (R, R), (R, W), or (W, R), its eyes will look red. Let X equal the number of offspring having red eyes. Let Y equal the number of red-eyed offspring...
3) For a study of free-living populations of the fruit-fly, researchers placed baited traps in two woodland sites and one open-ground area. The numbers of male and female flies trapped in a single day are given in the table. Woodland1 Woodland2 Open Total 160 175 335 70 130 200 Males Females 30 15 45 60 30 90 Total Use a chi-square test to test if males and females ratio is similar among the three sites Let α = 0.05. List...
Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, has a 2n chromosome number of 8 (4 chromosomes – 3 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome). Assume that you are microscopically examining the mitotic and meiotic cells of this organism. You note that in the female, two chromosomal pairs are metacentric and two pairs are acrocentric. Draw the chromosomal configurations as you would expect to see them at the stages listed: i. mitotic metaphase ii. primary oocyte (meiotic metaphase I) iii. secondary oocyte (meiotic metaphase...
