Problem:
Male fruit flies with "kinked" bristles and normal wings are mated to females with normal bristles and "miniature" wings. Both the kinked bristle and miniature wing alleles are recessive. The genes for the bristle shape and wing size characters are located on chromosome 2 (an autosome).
Required:
Question 1: Assign letter designations to each gene and the alleles. Draw out the cross to show the pair of chromosomes and the alleles present on the 2nd chromosomes of the male and the 2nd chromosomes of female flies.
Question 2: Draw the chromosomes and alleles for the Fl offspring of the cross in question 1.
Could someone explain this to me?
