In Drosophila, the Recessive Allele P, When Homozygous, Determines Pink

Question 69

Multiple Choice

In Drosophila, the recessive allele p, when homozygous, determines pink eyes.Pp or PP results in wild-type eye color.On the same chromosome of Drosophila that carries the p (pink eyes) locus there is another locus that affects the wings.Homozygous recessives, byby, have blistery wings, while the dominant allele By produces wild-type wings.The P and By loci are very close together on the chromosome; that is, the two loci are tightly linked.Assume that no crossing over occurs, and that the F2 generation is produced by interbreeding the F1 progeny.For the cross PPbyby ppByBy, what is the phenotype ratio of the F2 generation?


A) 1 wild-type eyes/blistery wings : 2 wild-type eyes/wild-type wings : 1 pink eyes/wild-type wings
B) 1 wild-type eyes/wild-type wings : 2 wild-type eyes/blistery wings : 1 pink eyes/wild-type wings
C) 1 pink eyes/wild-type wings : 2 pink eyes/blistery wings : 1 wild-type eyes/blistery wings
D) 1 wild-type eyes/blistery wings : 2 pink eyes/blistery wings : 1 pink eyes/wild-type wings
E) 1 pink eyes/blistery wings : 2 wild-type eyes/blistery wings : 1 wild-type eyes/wild-type wings
