: In Drosophila, yellow body is due to an X-linked gene that is recessive to the gene for gray body. (a) A homozygous gray female is crossed with a yellow male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny. (b) A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny. (c) A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 females are backcrossed with gray males. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F2 progeny.

: In Drosophila, yellow body is due to an X-linked gene that is recessive to the gene for
gray body.
(a) A homozygous gray female is crossed with a yellow male. The F1 are intercrossed to
produce F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the
F1 and F2 progeny.
(b) A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.
Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2
progeny.
(c) A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 females are backcrossed with gray
males. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F2
progeny.
(d) If the F2 flies in part b mate randomly, what are the expected phenotypic proportions of
flies in the F3??
