Exercise 15
Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow ( y ) , white ( w ) , and cut ( ct ). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F 1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F 1 males expressed the yellow-body and white-eye traits. The cross was carried to an F 2 progeny, and only male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed.

On the basis of the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed.    (a) Diagram the genotypes of the F 1 parents. (b) Construct a map, assuming that white is at locus 1.5 on the X chromosome. (c) Were any double-crossover offspring expected? (d) Could the F 2 female offspring be used to construct the map? Why or why not? (a) Diagram the genotypes of the F 1 parents.
