In Drosophila, the fused mutation (fu) causes fused wing veins, the tan mutation (t) causes a tan body, and the garnet mutation (g) causes bright red eyes. All act recessively. A female heterozygous for all three mutations is testcrossed to a male that is fused, tan and garnet, and the following progeny phenotypes were observed:
Phenotype number garnet 279 fused, tan 271 fused, garnet 128 tan 122 tan, garnet 84 fused 66 fused, tan, garnet 30 wild-type 20 Total 1000
Which gene is in the middle?
What are the phenotypic combinations that result from no crossing over (i.e., the non-recombinant or "parental" phenotypes)?
garnet fused, tan fused, garnet tan tan, garnet fused fused, tan, garnet wild-type
What is the map distance in cM between fused and garnet in this cross?
What is the interference (I) observed in this cross?

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,...

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. #1) You would like to determine how far the fu gene is from the Bar gene. The Bar mutation B acts dominantly to make a bar-shaped eye. You make a female that is a double heterozygote for the fu and B alleles. To what type of male should you cross this female in...

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...

In Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermillion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes caused by the wild-type allele. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, brown (bw), causes flies to have brown eyes. Flies carrying both mutations have no eye pigmentation and are white-eyed. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios for each sex from the following crosses: (a) brown females X vermillion males (b) white-eyed females X wild-type males

2. The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body, and bt gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives nonwaxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn* gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified as follows: 5 wild type, 6 black waxy cinnabar, 69 waxy cinnabar, 67 black, 382...

Mapping genes with recombination frequencies in Drosophila 1. Suppose you know of three linked loci on the Drosophila X chromosome (a, b, and c). Assume that you are starting out with true-breeding stocks that show all three recessive traits and true-breeding stocks that show all three dominant traits. A. If you wanted to do a 3-point test cross to map the three loci, how would you set up the cross? What genotypes do you use for males and females in...

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...

Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F1 females...
