In Drosophila, a narrow, reduced eye is called a bar-eye. It is due to a dominant X-linked allele (B),

while the full wild-type is due to the recessive gene (B+). Give the F1 and F2 genotypic and
phenotypic expectations of a cross of a homozygous wild-type female with a bar-eyed male. What will be an ideal response?


B+B+ ? BY ? F1: B+B wild female, B+Y wild male; F2: 1/4 BY bar male, 1/4 B+Y wild male, 1/4
B+B+ wild female, 1/4 B+B wild female
