Procedure
A. Open the above website and click on the VCR to listen to the introduction. Close the window

B. Click on the Lab Notebook on the lab bench. A breeding scenario will be presented to you that
you will need to carry out. Here are the possible phenotypes and genotypes you will using:
is
a. Normal wings (LL or Ll) or vestigial wings (ll)
Th
b. Gray body (GG or Gg) or black body (gg)
C. Enter the Scenario number in Table 1 below.
sh
D. Based on the Scenario, use the down arrows beneath the Parent 1 and Parent 2 boxes to select
the appropriate parents. Look carefully at the flies so that you know which ones to select.
E. Before proceeding, click on the Check Parents button. If necessary, make corrections. If you
are correct, the maternal and paternal alleles will be added to the Punnett Square.

, F. Next, drag the correct allele combinations and the corresponding fly types to the boxes in the
Punnett Square.
G. When you are done, click on Check Offspring. If necessary, make corrections.
H. Record your data in Table 1 below. An example has been given, but note that the example is
not using the genotypes and phenotypes used in this exercise.
I. Click on Reset. Repeat steps B - H four more times for a total of five crosses. If a scenario is
presented that has already been completed, click Reset again. DO NOT REPEAT a given
scenario!
Note that the scenario number you need to record in the Table below is the number associated
with the specific scenario you completed.

Questions

1. Which type of cross gave you the greatest number of genotypes? Was the number of
phenotypes the same as the number of genotypes or different? If different, why (2 pts)?
LL/GG and Gg/Ll gave me the greatest number of genotypes. Yes the number of phenotypes as
well as gentotypes. No there wasn’t a difference.
