The sepia (se) eye mutation is a non-lethal recessive mutation located on chromo

Question

The sepia (se) eye mutation is a non-lethal recessive mutation located on chromosome III in Drosophila (it is not sex-linked, the sex chromosome is chromosome I). Predict the results of a monohybrid cross (F2 generation) with the following parents: a homozygous wild- type female fly and a male fly with sepia eyes. Use a se+ for wild type and se for the mutation. What are the Parental genotypes? ________ The F1 genotypes? _______ Draw a Punnett square to determine the predicted phenotypic ratios in the F2 generation.

Explanation / Answer

The genotypes of the parents are:

Male parent - seseXY

Female parent - se+se+XX

The F1 cross would like:

From the above cross, we can see that the F1 genotypes are sese+XX and sese+XY

By crossing the results of F1 generation, we get:

We determine the phenotypic ratio in the above cross as 1:3:3:1
