Question
The boss in your laboratory has just heard of a proposal by another laboratory that genes for eye color and the length of body bristles may be linked in Drosophila. Your lab has numerous pure-breeding stocks of Drosophila that could be used to verify or refute genetic linkage. In Drosophila, red eyes (c +) are dominant to brown eyes (c), and long bristles (d +) are dominant to short bristles (d).
Your lab boss asks you to design an experiment to test the genetic linkage of eye color and bristle-length genes, and to begin by crossing a pure-breeding line homozygous for red eyes and short bristles to a pure-breeding line that has brown eyes and long bristles.
Question: Assume the eye color and bristle-length genes are separated by 28 m.u.. What are the approximate frequencies of phenotypes expected from the cross you proposed in the previous answer?
Answer the approximate frequencies of phenotypes expected(in whole number):
cd+= %
c+d= %
cd= %
c+d+= %
Question: Assume the eye color and bristle-length genes are NOT linked. What are the approximate frequencies of phenotypes expected from the cross you proposed in the previous answer?
Answer the approximate frequencies of phenotypes expected (just use a whole number):
cd+ = %
c+d = %
cd = %
c+d+ = %
