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

Gene F is analogous to the 'fuzzy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene F is covered in a dense layer of hairs, giving it a soft appearance.

Gene P is analogous to the 'prickly' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene P is covered with sharp bristles, giving it a spiky texture.

fuzzy	f	+	169
prickly	+	p	195
wildtype	+	+	1,210
TOTAL =			2,800

The resulting phenotypes are summarized in the table above.

Question

Review the phenotype counts shown in the table. Based on the traits expressed in the offspring, identify the possible parental genotype combinations. These are the allele combinations that the parent fruit flies originally carried. More than one combination will be correct. Select all that apply.
