1. In Drosophila (fruit flies) Curly (c) wings are recessive and normal (C) wings are dominant. If you cross curly wing flies with homozygous normal wing what is the expected genotype and phenotype of the F1 generation? What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?
cc x CC ----> All the progeny of F1 will have genotype cC and phenotype of Normal wings.
| C | C | |
| c | cC | cC |
| c | cC | cC |
In the F2 generation if we cross cC x cC then the possible genotypes are Cc and cc in 3:1 ration. So the resultant phenotype is 3 normal winged flies and 1 curly fly.
| c | C | |
| c | cc | cC |
| C | Cc | CC |

The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by an autosomal recessive mutant allele that independently assorts with an autosomal recessive mutant allele for hairy (h) body. A parental cross was made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings with a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed to each other and produced 1536 offspring. The phenotypes of the F2...

In flies, red eyes are dominant to brown eyes, while long wings are dominant to dumpy wings. You will cross a true-breeding fly with red eyes & dumpy wings to a true-breeding fly with brown eyes & long wings. a. What genotype & phenotype do you expect in the F1 generation? b. Draw a Punnett Square which represents the F2 generation & give phenotypic ratios.
In fruit flies, assume bright red eyes (r) and curly wing (w) are encoded by two alleles that are recessive to wild-type alleles (R and W). These two genes are on the same chromosome. A fly homozygous bright red eyes and curly wings is crossed to a homozygous dominant fly. The F1 have a normal eyes and wings. The F1 flies are test crossed to homozygous recessive flies. Wild-type eyes, wild type wing 418 Bright...
A pure-breeding fruit fly with curled wings mates with a pure-breeding fruit fly with normal (straight) wings. The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curled wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation? A. Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles. B. All of the hybrid F1 flies had straight wings C. Two interacting genes determine wing shape. D. The dominant curled wing allele...
The wings of wild type fruit flies (Drosophila) are full; two recessive mutant strains express a different wing structure – one with scalloped wings and the other with reduced wings (smaller than normal). These are caused by two different mutations in the same gene. This gene is called scalloped. The gene symbol for scalloped is sd, where sd+= wildtype wings sd1= scalloped wings and sd2 = reduced wings Reciprocal crosses between the mutant true-breeding strains produced the following results: Cross...
The Curly (Cy) mutant in fruit flies causes curled up wings. This mutant is due to an autosomal dominant mutation that exhibits 80% penetrance. The miniature body (m) phenotype is due to an X-linked recessive mutation and is completely penetrant. A male with normal body size and heterozygous for the Cy mutation is crossed to a female with normal wings and miniature body. What is the probability of obtaining progeny flies from this cross that are males with miniature bodies...
E10 from Brooker: In fruit flies, curved wings are recessive to straight wings, and ebony body is recessive to gray body. A cross was made berween true-breeding flies with curved wings and pray bodies and flies with straight wings and ebony bodies. The F1 offspring were then mated to flies with curved wings and ebony bodies to produce an F2 generation. A. Diagram the genotypes of this cross starting with the parental generation and ending with the Frencration B. What...
Assortment of genes on same chromosome In the fruit fly Drosophila, there is a dominant gene for normal wings and its recessive allele for vestigial wings. At another gene locus. there is a dominant gene for red eyes and its recessive allele for purple eyes. A female that was heterozygous at both gene loci was mated with a male that is homozygous for both recessive alleles. Knowing this, complete the sentences with the correct terms. 94% crossing over independent assortment...
Miniature wings in Drosophila melanogaster result from an X-linked gene (Xm) that is recessive to an allele for long wings (X+). Sepia eyes (s) are produced by an autosomal gene that is recessive to an allele for red eyes (s+). A female fly that is true-breeding for long wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that is true-breeding for miniature wings and red eyes. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. 1) What are the expected genotypic...
