Two-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a two-point test cross examines two (2) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard two-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for both genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for both genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for two genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Eery fly illustration. Gene E is related to the 'eery' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene E appears to have something off, crooked limbs and other twisted appendages.

Two-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a two-point test cross examines two (2) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard two-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for both genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for both genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for two genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Rusty fly illustration. Gene R is linked with the 'rusty' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene R has a reddish-brown color, much like rusted iron metal.
Yucky fly illustration. Gene Y is correlated with the 'yucky' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene Y gives off an unpleasant odor and has a generally unappealing look.

Two-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a two-point test cross examines two (2) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard two-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for both genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for both genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for two genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Bumpy fly illustration. Gene B is related to the 'bumpy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene B has a skin texture that is not smooth, but rough with small bumps all over.
Prickly fly illustration. Gene P is connected with the 'prickly' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene P is covered with sharp bristles, giving it a spiky texture.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Horsey fly illustration. Gene H is linked with the 'horsey' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene H is quite big and strong-looking, much larger than your typical fruit fly.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Artsy fly illustration. Gene A is connected with the 'artsy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene A has wings that are colorful and distinctive patterns.
Mushy fly illustration. Gene M is analogous to the 'mushy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene M feels soft to the touch and unusually squishy, unlike the usual firmness.
