12 chromosomes and 12 DNA molecules

6 chromosomes and 6 DNA molecules
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has four pairs of chromosomes, whereas the house fly Musca domestica has six pairs of chromosomes. Other things being equal, in which species would you expect to see more genetic variation among the progeny of a cross? Explain your answer.
The variation in the progeny of a cross would depend on the number of possible ways the genome (and subsequently the variation it contains) can assort. With its genome divided into six linkage groups, the house fly would have more possible combinations than the fruit fly’s genome with only four linkage groups, sixteen times more, in fact.
Diploid
containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Haploid
having a single set of unpaired chromosomes.
Monohybrid crosses
mating between two individuals heterozygous at one gene locus= Rr x Rr (B- x bb)
Dihybrid crosses
both parents are heterozygous at 2 different gen loci = T t D d x T t D d (G-H- x gg hh)
Testcross
mating of individual with dominant phenotype to a homozygous recessive= R- x rr (where R- could be RR or Rr)
Product rule
for 2 or more independent events occurring together, you x the independent probabilities
