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 H is correlated 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.

Gene Y is associated 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.

Phenotype	Genotypes		Progeny Count
horsey, yucky	h	y	586
horsey	h	+	2,423
yucky	+	y	2,377
wildtype	+	+	614
TOTAL =			6,000

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 recombinant genotype combinations. These allele combinations have occurred due to genetic crossover. More than one combination will be correct. Select all that apply.
