Question 16 3 pts If wing length is heritable, based on these data, predict how Selection will change wing length in swallows over Time. Your answer should include information on what causes the selection and how traits and alleles change as a result.

Step 1
To predict how selection will change wing length in swallows over time, we first need to establish whether wing length is heritable. Heritability refers to the proportion of the total variation in a trait that is due to genetic factors. If wing length is highly Show more…

10.1c Wing Length in Drosophila 5. Complete the Punnett square at the right to predict the outcome of a cross between two fruit flies that are heterozygous for the wing length trait (Ll x Ll). What is the expected genotype ratio? 1 : 2 : 1 What is the expected phenotypic ratio? 3 : 1 6. Number of fruit flies with long and short wings: Long wings Short wings Total Number of Flies Long : Short Ratio Your Data 19 9 28 2.1 : 1 Class Data 182 70 252 2.6 : 1 Wing Length in Drosophila - Parental Genotype Unknown 7.

Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is truebreeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. $F_{1}$ females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?
Miniature wings (Xm) in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X+). a) Give the genotypes of the parents in the following cross Male parent Female parent Male offspring Female offspring Long Long 231 long 250 miniature 560 long Genotype(s)
