In a test of his chromosome theory of heredity, Morgan crossed a female Drosophila with red eyes to a male with white eyes. The females were produced from Cross A, shown in the Figure below. Predict the offspring Morgan would have expected under his hypothesis that the gene for eye color is on the X chromosome in fruit flies.

Identify the sex chromosomes and eye color alleles involved. In Drosophila, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome, with red eyes (R) being dominant and white eyes (r) being recessive.
Determine the genotypes of the parents based on the information given. The female has red eyes, so her genotype could be homozygous dominant (XRXR) or heterozygous (XRXr). The male has white eyes, so his genotype must be XrY.
Set up the possible crosses using a Punnett square to predict the genotypes of the offspring. Since the gene is X-linked, consider the inheritance of X chromosomes from the mother and the X or Y chromosome from the father.
Analyze the expected phenotypes of the offspring based on the genotypes. Female offspring receive one X chromosome from each parent, while male offspring receive the X chromosome from the mother and the Y chromosome from the father. Use this to predict eye color in both sexes.
Summarize the expected ratio of red-eyed to white-eyed offspring in males and females according to Morgan's hypothesis that the eye color gene is X-linked.

Chromosome Theory of Heredity

This theory states that genes are located on chromosomes, which are the carriers of genetic information. It explains how traits are inherited through the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis, linking Mendelian genetics to cytology. Morgan’s work with fruit flies provided key evidence supporting this theory.

Chromosome Structure

Sex-Linked Inheritance

Sex-linked inheritance refers to genes located on sex chromosomes, such as the X chromosome in Drosophila. Traits controlled by these genes show different patterns of inheritance in males and females because males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

Drosophila Eye Color Genetics

In fruit flies, the gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome. Red eyes are typically dominant over white eyes. When crossing a red-eyed female (XX) with a white-eyed male (XY), the offspring’s eye color depends on the combination of X chromosomes inherited, illustrating sex-linked inheritance.

Cohesion between sister chromatids, as well as tension created by the pull of kinetochore microtubules, is essential to ensure efficient separation of chromatids at mitotic anaphase or in meiotic anaphase II. Explain why sister chromatid cohesion is important, and discuss the role of the proteins cohesin and separase in sister chromatid separation.

교과서 질문

For the retinal cancer retinoblastoma, the inheritance of one mutated copy of RB1 from one of the parents is often referred to as a mutation that produces a 'dominant predisposition to cancer.' This means that the first mutation does not produce cancer but makes it very likely that cancer will develop.


What is the genotype of a normal cell in the retina in a person who has sporadic retinoblastoma? What is the normal cell genotype if the person has hereditary retinoblastoma? Explain the reason for the difference between the genotypes.
