Question asked by Filo student

Problem 8 (6pts) Two fruit flies mate with one another, one whose phenotype is sepia eyes (a recessive trait coded for by allele w) and an ebony body (recessive trait coded for by allele b), and the other whose phenotype is wild type for both eye color and body color. If you know the second fly is homozygous dominant for both traits... a. What is/are the potential genotype(s), and b. Phenotypes of their offspring? Answer and work: Problem 9 (8pts) Consider the F1 generation produced by the two fruit flies in Problem 8. Perform a dihybrid cross to produce the F2 generation offspring. a. What would the phenotypic ratio be of the F2 offspring? b. How about the genotypic ratio of the F2 offspring?
