Show in a chart the result of cross between pure long(LL) winged drosophila and pure short (ll) winged drosophila up to second filial generation.
Answer
Genetic Cross Between Pure Long-Winged (LL) and Pure Short-Winged (ll) Drosophila
1. Parental (P) Generation
- Parental Cross: LL (long-winged, homozygous dominant) × ll (short-winged, homozygous recessive)
- Gametes:
- LL produces L (only dominant allele).
- ll produces l (only recessive allele).
- Offspring (F₁ Generation): All offspring are heterozygous (Ll) and exhibit the long-winged phenotype (since L is dominant over l).
2. First Filial (F₁) Generation
- F₁ Cross: Ll (long-winged) × Ll (long-winged)
- Gametes:
- Each Ll parent produces L and l in equal proportions (50% each).
- Punnett Square:
| L | l ----|-------|------- L | LL | Ll l | Ll | ll - Genotypic Ratio (F₂ Generation): 1 LL : 2 Ll : 1 ll
- Phenotypic Ratio (F₂ Generation):
- LL (Long-winged) → 25%
- Ll (Long-winged) → 50%
- ll (Short-winged) → 25%
- Final Phenotypic Ratio: 3 Long-winged : 1 Short-winged
3. Explanation of Results
- Dominance: The L allele is dominant, so all Ll and LL individuals show the long-winged trait.
- Recessiveness: Only ll individuals express the short-winged trait.
- Mendelian Inheritance: The cross follows Mendel’s Law of Segregation (alleles separate during gamete formation) and Law of Independent Assortment (if considering multiple traits).
4. Summary of Generations
| Generation | Genotype | Phenotype (Wing Type) |
|---|---|---|
| P | LL × ll | Long × Short |
| F₁ | All Ll | All Long |
| F₂ | 1 LL : 2 Ll : 1 ll | 3 Long : 1 Short |

This cross demonstrates complete dominance and the 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the second filial generation.
