Question

What is the genotype of Drosophila showing normal wings?

• A. vg+
• B. vg no
• C. vg
• D. vg ni

Hint:

In Drosophila, the "vg+" allele is dominant and results in normal wings, while the "vg" allele causes vestigial wings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In Drosophila, the gene responsible for wing shape is the "vg" gene. The "vg+" allele represents the normal wing shape, while the "vg" allele is associated with vestigial (abnormal) wings. Therefore, the genotype for normal wings in Drosophila is "vg+", where the "+" indicates the dominant normal wing allele. - "vg" refers to the recessive allele for vestigial wings. - "vg no" and "vg ni" are not commonly associated genotypes in this context. Thus, the correct answer is option (A), "vg+".
