Question

In Drosophila, round eyes (rai+) (wildtype) are dominant to raisin eyes (rai). A heterozygous fly is crossed with a homozygous recessive fly. then What is the correct genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the F1 progeny?

Genotype

1:2:1, rai+/rai+ : rai+/rai : rai/rai

1:1, rai+/rai+ : rai/rai

1:1, rai+/rai : rai/rai

3:1, rai/rai : rai+/rai

Phenotype

4:0, round eyes

3:1, raisin eyes : round eyes

1:1, round eyes : raisin eyes

4:0, raisin eyes

Genotype

1:2:1, rai+/rai+ : rai+/rai : rai/rai

1:1, rai+/rai+ : rai/rai

1:1, rai+/rai : rai/rai

3:1, rai/rai : rai+/rai

Phenotype

4:0, round eyes

3:1, raisin eyes : round eyes

1:1, round eyes : raisin eyes

4:0, raisin eyes

Explanation / Answer

In a cross between heterozygous fly and a homzygous recessive fly,

Phenotype: Round Eyes * Raisin Eyes

Genotype : rai+/ rai rai/rai

Gametes: rai+ , rai rai , rai

Genotype of Progeny: rai+/rai , rai+/rai , rai/rai , rai/rai

Genotypic ratio : 1: 1 (rai+/rai : rai/rai)

Phenoype:   Round, Round, Raisin, Raisin

Phenotypic ratio: 1:1 (Round : Raisin)
