Drosophila Mating Gamejnkjl

This document describes a virtual lab experiment using Punnett squares to analyze the results of crosses between fruit flies with different eye color phenotypes. The document includes tables showing the phenotypes of parent flies and their offspring over three generations for each of three crosses. It also includes questions about determining offspring genotypes and phenotypes from the crosses, comparing results to real fly mating experiments, sex-linked inheritance patterns, and probabilities of offspring exhibiting sex-linked traits.

Journal Question
1. Describe the phenotypes and genotypes of the parents that you chose on the Punnett squares screen (choose
one of the 3 crosses)

2. Describe the offspring phenotype and genotype ratios that resulted from crossing the parents that you chose on
the Punnett squares screen.

3. Using these ratios, what percentage of offspring is white-eyed? What percentage of offspring is red-eyed?

4. Did you mate Drosophila in the laboratory or did you perform genetic crosses using Punnett squares first? Why?
Compare and contrast the data you collected from the Punnett squares to the data you collected from the
Drosophila mating.

5. In a mating between a red-eyed male fruit fly and a red-eyed heterozygous female, what percentage of the
female offspring is expected to be carriers? How did you determine the percentage?

6. In a mating between a red-eyed male fruit fly and a white-eyed female fruit fly, what percentage of the male
offspring will have white eyes? Describe how you determined the percentage.

7. Hemophilia, a blood disorder in humans, results from a sex-linked recessive allele. Suppose that a daughter of a
mother without the allele and a father with the allele marries a man with hemophilia. What is the probability
that the daughter's children will develop the disease? Describe how you determined the probability.

8. Colorblindness results from a sex-linked recessive allele. Determine the genotypes of the offspring that result
from a cross between a color-blind male and a homozygous female who has normal vision. Describe how you
determined the genotypes of the offspring.

9. Explain why sex-linked traits appear more often in males than in females.
