Biology 22 Drosophila Identification of various phenotypes.
Reference for Pictures: • Carolina Drosophila melanogster Manual (45-2620) • Published: Carolina Biological Supply Company
Life Cycle:Drosophila melanogaster • Eggs: contain filaments • 2 molting phases “instars” • Life cycle is 10 days
Identification of: • Gender • Body Color
Wild Type Versus Mutants • Body Color • Wild type: Beige • Mutant: Yellow body
Parental phenotypesExperiment: body color • A= female: wt (beige) • B=female: wt (beige) • C=male: wt (beige) • D=female: mutant (yellow) • E=male: mutant (yellow)
Abdominal segements • 7 segments to female abdominal segments • 5 segments to male abdominal segments • Male body size is smaller than female • But the “last” abdominal segment is larger in male
You will record class data • After counting the crosses record the data on the class spreadsheet
Experiment 2 3 point test cross Eye color Body color Wing length 3 point test cross: Experiment 2
1. Body Color 2. Wing length 3. Eye Color ♦Wt vs. Mutant Beige (bl+) vs. Black (bl) Long(vg+) vs. Vestigal(vg) Brick red (br+) vs. brown (br) 3 point test cross for:
Crosses: Female Males • Males and female progeny from this F2 cross are your 3 point test cross results! bl+ vg+ Bw+ bl vg bw X bl vg bw bl vg bw
Parental phenotypes • A= female: wt beige body • B=female: wt beige body • C=male: wt beige body • D=female: yellow body • E=male: yellow body
