Part 2: Monohybrid Crosses
You may realize that choosing a lot of different types of flies make it difficult to analyze inheritance patterns. Your next tasks will focus on analyzing single traits within flies to determine how they are inherited
1. Reset all flies in the design tab. 2. Design a male fly with vestigial wings and cross it with a wild-type female 3. Add the results to your "Lab Notes. 4. Mate the offspring of this cross
5. Based on these two crosses you probably have an idea about how vestigial wings are inherited, is VG recessive or dominant? How do you know?
Vestigial wings are recessive because the male in the first cross had vestigial wings, and the female was a wild type. The cross produced offspring with normal wings in both sexes
6. If vour hypothesis that VG is a recessive trait is The Proportion of the F2 offspring to have vestigial correct, then you would expect what proportion of the wings is 1/4, and the proportion to have wild type F2 offspring to have vestigial wings and what proportion wings is 3/4. to have wild-type wings?
7. Under the Analyze tab,vou can click on Include a test hypothesis." Use the chi square calculator by inputting your expected results...
Summarize the results and whether your data support your hypothesis
Design another monohybrid cross using any of the wing shape phenotypes
8. Describe vour experimental set-up,which includes the phenotypes of the parents and the expected proportions in the offspring. You will need to propose which trait is dominant, either the wild-type or the mutant.(Note, many of the fruit fly traits are controlled by multiple factors, so you may not get the expected results.)
