  • Which mutant alleles are dominant? Which mutant alleles are recessive?

 

  • Which mutant alleles are sex-linked? Which mutant alleles are autosomal?

 

  • Can you tell at this point if the two genes are linked?

 

  • Show the results of the dihybrid analysis.  Are genes segregating independently? What is the evidence for or against this?

 

  • Show the crosses you will use to obtain the mapping data.

 

  • For the mapping crosses, Write out the crossing scheme and make a table of the results (ignore sex in this table, combine the male and female progeny). Identify the parental classes and the recombinant classes. For a 3-point cross, identify the double cross overs. Show your calculations for the recombination frequencies between the three genes (for the 3-point cross) or the two genes (for the two-point crosses).

 

 

  • Draw a map of the Drosophila chromosomes 2, 3, and X, including your genes and all of the known mapping genes.

 

  • Discuss the role of each unknown gene in their respective pigmentation pathway. Describe why the loss of the gene resulted in the mutant colored eye or fly body.

 

  • Do estimated map positions map the reported positions reported in flybase?
