In the heterozygous state (w +/w), a variegated eye is produced, with white and red patches. The following statements are true in relation to this experiment:
b. When heterochromatin spreading does not reach the new location of the w + allele, the gene will be transcribed, producing red eye patches.
c. When heterochromatin spreading encompasses the new location of w + allele, the gene is transcribed, producing white eye patches.
d. Even though eye color phenotypic variegation exists within the eye, all cells have the same genotype.
Explanation:
Heterochromatin in droshophila has genes which gets expressed by position effect variegation. In some normally active cells genes are silenced in some due to transposition of genes which causes change or variegating in phenotype.
This change is due to change in position of the gene in the genome and chromosome but no change in gene.
The variegation in drsophilla melanogaster shows that white gene was not damaged.
The rearrrangement of gene takees place at pericentric heterochromatin.
Heterochromatin is required for maintaining genome integrity and regulating gene expression. When spread in neighboring region it can inactivate the genes present there.
The genes taking part in variegation remains same hence no change in genotype.
Answer:
LLgg, Llgg , two out of 16
Explanation:
Given,
Dominant - Long wings and Gray color
Recessive - Short wings and Brown color
Let the allele for long wings be "L" and the allele for short wings be "l".
Let the allele for brown color be "g" and allele for gray color be "G"
Genotype of parents
LlGg
Gametes of the parent
LG, Lg, lG, lg
Dihybrid cross is between LlGg and LlGg
The offspring produces will be as follows -
LG Lg lG lg
LG LLGG LLGg LlGG LlGg
Lg LLGg LLgg LlGg Llgg
lG LlGG LlGg llGG llGg
lg LlGg Llgg llGg llgg
Offspring with long wings and brown color – LLgg, Llgg , two out of 16
