Question

The data set below summarizes progeny (F2 generation) resulting from a cross between two F1 individuals, originating from a cross of two true breeding Drosophila strains (P generation), which differ with respect to two traits. Produce a hypothesis about the mode of inheritance of the genes and analyze whether the data fits your hypothesis by using the Chi-square test.

29 wild type, males

24 wild type, females

9 vestigial wings, females

10 vestigial wings, females

11 ebony body, males

8 ebony body, males

4 vestigial wings, ebony body, males

5 vestigial wings, ebony body, females

Please show steps

Explanation / Answer

The hypothesis that is talked about in this theory is x-linked recessive, as males need one recessive allele on X for tan bodies while females need dominant alleles to express tan.

For Parent: X^BX^B, CC (x) X^bY, cc
For F1 female: X^BX^b, Cc

For F1 males: X^BY, Cc

For F2 similar process can be followed.
