The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines

Sagot :

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In fruit flies, the recessive pr and cn mutations cause brown and bright-red eyes, respectively (wild-type flies have brick-red eyes). The double mutant pr cn combination has orange eyes. A female who has wild-type eyes is crossed to an orange-eyed male. Their progeny have the following distribution of eye colors:

wild-type8

The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines ?

Answer:

prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn

Explanation:

Progeny is the offspring or descendants of any animal, plant, human or a species.

In the context, it is given that the cn mutation and recessive pr in the fruit flies makes brown and bright red color eyes. And the double mutant of pr and cn combination makes orange eyes. An oragne eye males is crossed with a female having a wild type eyes. Now for this, the F1 mother of the progeny F2 which results from the cross of two flies, the genotypes is " prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn. "
