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 progeny flies have phenotypes as shown:
30 red eyes long wings
30 red eyes short wings
10 brown eyes long wings
10 brown eyes short wings
Describe the Genotype of the male and female parents.
Deduce the inheritance of each Phenotype.
Answer:
Based on the information, eye color is autosomal and wing size is X-linked trait.
A female true breeding fly with brown eyes and short wings = XsXs; rr
True breeding male with red eyes and long wings = XSY; RR

Question 3 Two true-breeding Drosophila are crossed: a normal-winged, red-eyed female and a miniature- winged, vermillion-eyed male. The Fl generation all have normal wings and red eyes. The FI offspring are crossed with miniature-winged, vermillion-eyes flies. The following offspring of that cross were counted. 233 normal wing, red eye 247 miniature wing, vermilion eye 7 normal wing, vermilion eye 13 miniature, red eye a) Explain what a testcross is (1 point). b) What is the expected phenotypic ratio from a...
Can someone please help. I don't even know where to begin with this question. Brown eyes and curly wings are recessive traits in fruit flies. Two red-eyed, normal-winged fruit flies produced red-eyed, normal-winged progeny and 28 offspring with brown eyes and normal wings. If two of the brown-eyed F1 flies were crossed, their progeny would be:
B. Geneticists have discovered that some flies have white eyes and others red eyes. The difference in eye color is due to inheritance of one gene. Two true-breeding flies are mated, with the female white-eyed and the male red-eyed. The F1 are 1/2 red eyed and female, and 12 white-eyed and male. (There are no white-eyed females, or red- eyed males.) 11. The F2 includes: 54 red-eye females 42 white-eyed females 48 red-eyed males 56 white-eyed males Phenotypes d (o-edd/e...

29, In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. The gene for eye color (R) is found on the X chromosome (X^R). Females have 2 X chromosomes and males are XY. Fill in the following (case sensitive!): Genotype of a white eyed female: Possible female gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): Genotype of a red eyed male: Possible male gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. The...
I included everything here , but i only need help with parts

You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with two alleles: "Borb" for body color and "Wor w" for wing surface. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body...
A female fruit fly with vermilion eyes and normal wings is crossed to a male with normal red eyes and cut wings. The F1 progeny consist of females with red eyes and normal wings, and males with vermilion eyes and normal wings. When the F1 progeny are interbred, the F2 consists of two types of females vermilion eyes, normal wings (1/2) and red eyes, normal wings (12), and two types of males-vermilion eyes, normal wings (12) and red eyes, cut...
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...
I just need help with part 5 e. I dont know how to set up a punnett square that includes sex chromosomes with wing length as well as eye color. 5. A male fruit fly with red eyes and long wings is mated to a female with brown eyes and short wings. All of the F1 males have red eyes and short wings, and all of the F1 females have red eyes and long wings. The F1s are intercrossed to...
Fruit flies normally have dull red eyes. Some fruit flies have white eyes due to a mutation in a gene on the X-chromosome. The white eyed phenotype is X-linked recessive. The sex chromosomes in fruit flies are: females, normally XX; males, normally XY. If a true breeding red-eyed female (normal or wild-type phenotype) mates with a white- eyed male (mutant phenotype), what is the likelihood that their male offspring will have white eyes? Parents: red-eyed female X white-eyed male Select...
