Question

For the problem below, translate the fly descriptions into parental genotypes, then continue asinstructed.Consider a cross between female flies homozygous for brown bodies and red eyes and male flieshomozygous for ebony bodies and sepia eyes. Give the genotypes and the possible gametes of eachset of parents.Female Genotype: SSEE Gametes Possible: SE Male Genotype: ssee Gametes Possible: se

Answer 1

Offspring-heterozygous genotype SsEe

Step-by-step explanation:

If we name the gene for the body color with S and gene for the eye color with E and if the brown body is dominant over ebony body, while red eyes are dominant over sepia eyes, than the genotypes of the parents would be: female-SSEE, male-ssee

P: SSEE x ssee

Female gametes SE, male gametes se

F1: SsEe all of the offspring would be heterozygous.
