Hello students, for the a part of the question here, the hypothesis to explain the inheritance of these eye colors.
00:28
The white eye mutation in drosophila is caused by a recessive allele located on the x chromosome.
00:55
The wild type that is red eyed allele is dominant to the white eyed allele.
01:11
When true breeding white eyed males which means x, w, y are crossed with true breeding purple eyed females that is x plus, x plus.
01:31
All the f1 progeny will be heterozygous for the eye color gene that is x, w and x plus resulting in wild type that is red eyed.
01:49
In the f2 generation, so this was f1 generation.
01:54
In f2 generation, the phenotypic ratios result from the assortment of x and y chromosomes during meiosis as well as the random combination of alleles from the parents.
02:07
So that will be differing in the case of f2 generation.
02:13
For the b part of the question, if parental cross was reversed that is white eyed female and purple eyed male.
02:47
So the parent one will be true breeding white eyed females...
