Drosophila Genetics I
Inheritance, Autosomal genes vs.
Sex Linked genes, Monohybrid
and Dihybrid Crosses
*Lab manual protocol will not be used
Lab Objectives
 To
have a first hand look at how genes are
inherited in the model organism
Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit Fly)
 To develop a better understanding of
genetics by conducting monohybrid and
dihybrid crosses.
 To have a basic knowledge of working with
Drosophila as a model organism
Overview
 Review
Mitosis and Meiosis
 Review Concepts of Genetics
 Drosophila melanogaster

Background Information
Applied Genetics
I. Mitosis and Meiosis
II. Genetics Review
Allele-alternate forms of a given gene (brown or blue eyes)
Independent assortment- random distribution of unlinked
genes into gametes.
Linked Genes- genes located on the same chromosome
tend to be inherited together. The alleles do not assort
independently.
Sex linked genes- genes located on a sex chromosome
(e.g. white eyes in Drosophila)
Crossing over- reciprocal exchange of genetic material
between non-sister chromatids during meiosis I (performed
in pipe cleaner exercise during meiosis).
Alleles on Chromosomes
Mendel’s Law of
Segregation
The two alleles present for a gene will
separate during gamete formation
For example:
AA will segregate into A and A
Aa will segregate into A and a
The Law of Independent
assortment
“Each pair of alleles segregates
gametes independently” (Campbell)
For examples:
AaBb will segregate and form 4 different gametes:
AB, Ab, aB, and ab.

Chromosome theory of heredity
Found that genes are located on
chromosomes
Discovered Sex-Linkage
(module 10)
Worked with Drosophila
Why Drosophila?

Short Generation Time
 Easy to Maintain
 4 large chromosomes
 Easily identifiable
 markers (mutant
 phenotypes)
 For more information

Drosophila life cycle

Egg
 Larva
 Pupa
 Adult
The whole life cycle is
about 14 days at RTº
CHROMOSOMES

Male

Sex
 Sex

IV
-----------Autosomal-----------
-chromosomes responsible for
determining sex of an individual
 Autosomal- chromosome that is not directly
involved in determining sex.

Nomenclature
Autosomal Genes (use + for wt allele)
Convention dictates that we denote genotype
in the following fashion:
Genotype
+/+
vg / +
vg / vg
+_
Phenotype
wt (homozygous)
wt (heterozygous)
mutant
wt (homo. or het.)
Autosomal Gene Nomenclature
Wild-type genes located on autosomal
chromosomes are donated “+” by convention
(note that a separate system is used for sex-linked genes--module 10)
(Each allele is represented and is seperated by a “/”)
Genotype
+/+
vg / +
vg / vg
Phenotype
wt (homozygous)
wt (heterozygous)
mutant
Terminology
Wild type- the normal or most common phenotype in a
population.
Mutant Phenotype- traits that are alternates to the wild type.
Changes due to mutations in the wild type.

Monohybrid Cross
 Cross
breeding organisms
while tracking one trait.

Dihybrid Cross
 Cross
breeding organisms while tracking
two traits
Example Dihybrid Cross

(Black vestigial)
This is not the cross that you will design
on your worksheets.
See worksheet for Assignment I for fly lab
and complete the dihybrid cross.
Test Cross
A testcross is a valuable way to
use a genetic cross to
determine the genotype of an
organism that shows a
dominant phenotype but
unknown gentoype.
Example Test Cross
+_
(Unknown)
x
vgvg
(Vestigial)
If the F1 progeny are all WT the genotype
of the unknown fly is +/+.
If the F1 progeny are a mix of wild-type
and vestigial flies, the genotype of the
unknown fly is +vg.
