The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the dihybrid cross performed by Morgan and the recombination types found, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dihybrid Cross**: - A dihybrid cross involves two traits. In this case, we are looking at traits in Drosophila (fruit flies) - specifically, eye color (white vs. red) and wing type (miniature vs. normal). 2. **Identifying the Parental Generation**: - Morgan crossed a white-eyed, miniature-winged female (genotype: WW MM) with a wild-type male (genotype: W+ W+ M+ M+). - Here, WW represents the white eye trait, MM represents the miniature wing trait, and W+ and M+ represent the dominant traits (red eye and normal wing). 3. **F1 Generation**: - The F1 generation from this cross will all be heterozygous for both traits (genotype: W+ W MM+ M). - All offspring will exhibit the dominant traits (red eyes and normal wings). 4. **Test Cross**: - The F1 females (red-eyed, normal-winged) are then test-crossed with a white-eyed, miniature-winged male (WW MM). - This test cross will help determine the phenotypic ratios of the offspring. 5. **Analyzing the Offspring**: - In the test cross, the offspring will show two types of parental phenotypes (red-eyed normal-winged and white-eyed miniature-winged) and two types of recombinant phenotypes (red-eyed miniature-winged and white-eyed normal-winged). - According to Morgan's findings, 62.8% of the progeny were of parental types, while 37.2% were recombinants. 6. **Conclusion**: - The recombination types of 37.2% were specifically found during the study of white-eyed and miniature-winged Drosophila. ### Final Answer: In the dihybrid cross performed by Morgan, the recombination types of 37.2% are found during the study of white eye and miniature wing in Drosophila. ---
