Answer #1

Ans. Short bristles are dominant to long bristles. [ As in Cross 1 all progenies have short bristles]

The bristle length gene is X-linked. [ even one gene controlling the short bristle length is able to express itself, so the male flies carrying that X-chromosome show the short bristle phenotype].

    We crossed pure-bred female flies with yellow body and forked-shaped bristles with male flies extra bristles. The subsequent F1 flies showed all normal phenotypes except that all of the F1 males are yellow-body. We crossed again the normal F1 females with males homozygous for yellow body, extra bristles, and forked bristles as a testcross. The number of each category of F2 progeny is shown below. The mutant allele for yellow body is y; the mutant allele for extra bristles is...

    The genes for sepia eye color, short bristles, and dark body coloration are on the same chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. Each gene has two alleles: wild type, which is dominant, or mutant, which is recessive.             se+ is dominant and causes red eyes; se is recessive and causes sepia eyes             sb+ is dominant and causes long bristles; sb is recessive and causes short bristles             b+ is dominant and causes gray body coloration; b is recessive and causes dark...

    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...

    6. In Cross 1, a yellow eyed, long wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain is mated to a red eye, short wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain. All of their offspring (F1) had red eyes and long wings. In Cross 2, one of the F1 offspring is mated to a fly with yellow eyes and short wings, and this cross gave the following F2 population: 194 flies with long wings and red eyes, 796 flies with...

    A lab discovers a recessive mutation in fruit flies that makes them appear hairy, and they breed a true-breeding line of flies with this mutation. A different lab independently identifies a recessive mutation that causes hairy flies. What experiment, and what results, would lead you to conclude that the two mutations occur in the same gene? What results would lead you to conclude that the two mutations occur in two different genes? A 3rd lab independently discovers a mutant that...
