Heliconius melpomene is a species of butterfly with ZW sex determination. H. melpomene's
wing spots are normally orange, but a recessive Z-linked mutation causes the spots to be yellow,
while a recessive autosomal mutation causes the spots to be red. Butterflies homozygous (or
hemizygous) for both mutations have no wing spots. What are the expected F1 and F2
phenotypes from a cross between a red-spotted female and a yellow-spotted male?
Solution
The Heliconius melpomene butterfly having sex determination ZW have normally orange wing
spots.
Given
Recessive Z linked mutation causes the spots to be yellow, if Y is the dominant gene the y
represents the recessive gene. The recessive autosomal mutation causes the spot to be red,the
recessive autosomal mutation represented by rr.
a) WX represents female
b) WW represents male
Given-:
F1 generation
The red spotted female is crossed with yellow spotted male
ZWrr X ZZy
ZZ, WrrZ, ZZy, WrrZy
It gives 1 hemizygous butterfly, 1red spotted female butterfly, 1 yellow spotted male and 1
normal orange wing male butterfly.
The F2 generation gives the same result.

Butterflies homozygous (or hemizygous) for both mutations have no wing spots. What are the expected F1 and F2 phenotypes from a cross between a red-spotted female and a yellow-spotted male? Solution The Heliconius melpomene butterfly having sex determination ZW have normally orange wing spots. Given Recessive Z linked mutation causes the spots to be yellow, if Y is the dominant gene the y represents the recessive gene. The recessive autosomal mutation causes the spot to be red,the recessive autosomal mutation represented by rr. a) WX represents female b) WW represents male Given-: F1 generation The red spotted female is crossed with yellow spotted male ZWrr X ZZy ZZ, WrrZ, ZZy, WrrZy It gives 1 hemizygous butterfly, 1red spotted female butterfly, 1 yellow spotted male and 1 normal orange wing male butterfly. The F2 generation gives the same result.
