A cross of fruit flies was conducted. White-eyed males were cross with pink-eyed females. All F1 flies had normal eye color. F1âs were intercrossed yielding F2 flies as follows: 890 wildtype females, 455 wildtype males, 605 white-eyed males, 140 pink-eyed males, and 310 pink-eyed females. Give a genetic explanation consistent with these data.

white is autosomal recessive and epistatic to pink

pink is autosomal recessive and dominant over white

pink and white are x-linked recessive with white dominant to pink

white is x-lined recessive, pink is autosomal recessive; white is recessive epistatic to pink

1. The eye color of wild-type Drosophila flies is red. Differentmutations in a single or in multiple genes lead to flies with whiteeyes. Mutations in the w gene on the X chromosome lead to whiteeyes instead of the normal red. You have isolated both a white-eyedmutation (designated W-1) that gives a dominant phenotype, and awhite-eyed mutation (designated w-2) that gives a recessivephenotype.

(a) A white-eyed male from the W-1 line is crossed to awild-type female. What color eyes will the female progeny from thiscross have?

(b) What color eyes will the male progeny from the cross in part(a) have?

(c) One of the female progeny from the cross in part (a) ismated to a white-eyed male from the w- 2 line. What fraction of thewhite-eyed progeny from this cross will be female?

2. The body color of Drosophila adult flies is regulated bymultiple genes, including the autosomal ebony gene. Ebony body (e)is recessive to the wild type (yellowish) body (e+). A second gene,which is X-linked, controls bristle shape. Normal bristle shape(f+) is dominant to the mutant forked bristles (f). A female withforked bristles that is heterozygous for the body color gene ismated with an ebony body male (his bristles are normal).

(a) What are the genotypes of the parents?

(b) Using a Punnett square, determine the expected proportionsof each possible progeny phenotype. Since there is a sex-linkedgene here, be sure to include consider sex as part of thephenotype.

Sex-Linked Traits (traits located on the sex chromosomesâusually the X chromosome)

Follow the directions for the lab. Enter data you obtain for the following crosses and answer questions on this answer sheet. (NOTE: The traits used in this Module 3 Lab are sex-linked. Therefore, you CANNOT click the âignore sexâ button for these crosses. You need to see separate results for males and females to analyze data for sex-linked traits.)

Question: In this lab exercise, should you click the "ignore sex" button for the crosses?

1. a. Perform a monohybrid cross between a female fly with a tan body and a wild-type male fly. Show results for the F₁ offspring. (NOTE: You will use these F₁ flies in the next cross.)
ENTER DATA HERE:

Question: Are the phenotypes of the F₁ offspring what you would have predicted for this cross: why or why not?

Question: Each F₁ female received a tan allele from her mother and a wild allele from her father. Why do all of the F₁ females show the wild-type phenotype?

Question: Compare the number and type (X or Y) of sex chromosomes found in female and male flies.

Question: Compare the number of alleles present on the X and Y chromosomes.

Question: How can you tell that tan body is a sex-linked trait?

Question: How can you tell whether tan body is located on the X chromosome or the Y chromosome?

Question: If tan body was located on the Y-chromosome, what would be the phenotype of all the male F₁ offspring? Is this what you obtained for the cross above?

Question: If tan body was located on the Y-chromosome, could females even show the trait? (HINT: When analyzing the cross results, remember that Y-linked traits are passed down only from affected males to their sons. Females cannot display Y-linked traits since they do not have Y chromosomes. On the other hand, both males and females can inherit X-linked traits since they both have X chromosomes.)
