Q.If you cross dominant genotype PV/PV male Drosophila with double recessive female and obtain F1 hybrid. Now you cross F1 male with double recessive female.
i) What type of linkage is seen?
ii) Draw the cross with correct genotype.
iii) What is the possible genotype in F2 generation?

Step 2. The F1 male is testcrossed to a double recessive female. Because the gamete-producing parent is a MALE Drosophila, and crossing over is completely absent during spermatogenesis in male Drosophila (Bridges, 1919), the F1 male can only produce the two original gamete types, PV and pv. …
