Solution

To determine the genotypic constituent of the other parent, we need to understand the genetic makeup of the offspring.

  1. BbRr: This offspring has a black body and red eyes. This means one parent must have contributed the B and R alleles, and the other parent must have contributed the b and r alleles.

  2. BBrr: This offspring has a black body and green eyes. This means one parent must have contributed the B allele, and the other parent must have contributed the r allele.

  3. Bbrr: This offspring also has a black body and green eyes. This means one parent must have contributed the B allele, and the other parent must have contributed the b and r alleles.

  4. bbrr: This offspring has a brown body and green eyes. This means one parent must have contributed the b and r alleles.

From this information, we can infer that the other parent must have the genotype BbRr. This is because this parent must be able to contribute both the B and b alleles for body color, and the R and r alleles for eye color, to produce the observed offspring.

In fruit flies, the gene for red eyes(R) is dominant over the gene for white eyes(r) and is sex linked. If a true breeding red eyed male, all the offspring are red eyed. However, if a true breeding white eye breeding white eye female is mated with a red eyed male, all the offspring will be white eyed. Explain this apparent contradiction using genetic cross
