Drosophila Development: Pattern Formation of the Body Plan

An Introduction to Drosophila melanogaster

Gap, Pair-Rule & Segment Polarity Genes in Segmentation

SOLVED:In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a spineless (no wing bristles female fly is mated to a male that is claret (dark eyes) and hairless (no thoracic bristles). Phenotypically wild-type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males, and the following progeny (1000 total) were observed: (a) Which gene is in the middle? (b) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem, what are the genotypes of the homozygous parents used in making the phenotypically wild

SOLVED: In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial (not fully developed) wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1 generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-type females. F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normal wings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigial wings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied females with vestigial wings, and 97 wild-t
