1. You have crossed two Drosophila individuals that have long wings and red eyes (both are the
wild type phenotype for the respective characters). In the progeny, the mutant phenotypes, called
curved wings and lozenge eyes, appear as follows:
Females
600 long wings, red eyes
200 curved wings, red eyes
Males
300 long wings, lozenge eyes
300 long wings, red eyes
100 curved wings, red eyes
100 curved wings, lozenge eyes
A] According to the data, what is the mode of inheritance for the curved wing and lozenge eye
alleles? Explain your answer.
B] What are the genotypes of the male and female parents?
Solution
A] The mode of inheritance for curved wing is autosomal recessive:
The facts proving the same are:
* There are almost equal number of affected males and females.
* The trait has skipped generations
The mode of inheritance for lozenge eyes is X-linked recessive inheritance
The facts proving the same are:
* Only the males are having lozenge eyes, thus most affected individuals are male.
* Approximately half the sons/males are affected.
B] The father will be a heterozygote for curved wings and long wings and the mother will be a
heterozygote for lozenege eyes and red eyes and also curved wings and long wings.
