Document Summary

Biol 005a lecture 19: the genetic basis of inheritance: dihybrid and linkages. The two alleles of every gene segregate at meiosis. Allele pairs of different genes segregate independently. Parental generation: female aa and male aa. Product rule for considering two loci (dihybrid) occurrence. Crossing f1 x f1: ssyy x ssyy. Multiply probabilities of independent occurrences to obtain probability of joint. Segregation at s, gives s- (smooth) and ss (wrinkled) Segregation at y, gives y- (yellow) and yy (green) Phenotypic ratios for a dihybrid cross of heterozygous f1 generation: 9:3:3:1. Studied eye color in fruit flies ( drosophila melanogaster ) Red eyes = wild type, white eyes = mutant. Different results for males: suggests x-chromosome linkage. Male or female sex in drosophila and mammals is determined by the sex chromosomes : A cross between a male and a female results in 50% male, 50% female. The eye color gene is w and is located on the x chromosome.
