Parental combinations are more so, the parental combinations are g m + & + + o
1. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between g & m
Normal order= g ---------m & + ----- +
After cross over= g ----- + & +------m
g ----- + recombinants are 170+245= 415
+ ------m recombinants are 162+240=402
Total recombinants = 817
RF = (817/2000.)*100 =40.85%
2. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between m & +
Normal order= m --------- + & + --------- o
After cross over= m --------- o & + ------ +
m --------- o recombinants are 240+46= 286
+ ------ + recombinants are 245+37= 282
Total recombinants = 568
RF = (568/2000)*100 = 28.4%
3. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between g & +
Normal order= g --------- + & +------o
After cross over= g --------- o & + --------- +
g --------- o recombinants are 170+46=216
+ --------- + recombinants are 162+37=199
Total recombinants = 411
RF = (411/2000)*100 = 20.55%
% RF = Map unit distance
The order of gene is -----
g ---------20.55 m.u.---------- o -----------28.4 m.u.----------m
Expected double cross over frequency (EDCO) = RF b/e g & o * RF b/e o & m
= 0.205 * 0.284= 0.058
Observed double cross over frequency (ODCO)= (46+37)/2000 =0.042
Coefficient of Coincidence (coc)= EDCO/ODCO = 0.042/0.058=0.72
Interference= 1-coc= 1-0.72=0.28
Interference is positive

a) Determine the orientation of mutant vs. wild type alleles on the female parent’s chromosomes. (1pt)...
2. The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body, and bt gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives nonwaxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn* gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified as follows: 5 wild type, 6 black waxy cinnabar, 69 waxy cinnabar, 67 black, 382...
23. R. A. Emerson crossed two different pure breeding lines type Fl that was heterozygous for three alleles that determine recessive phenotypes. Terent pure-breeding lines of corn and obtained a phenotypically wild- anther, br, brachytic; and f, fine. He testcrossed the F1 with a tester that was homoly mine recessive phenotypes: an determines the three genes and obtained these progeny phenoty with a tester that was homozygous recessive for ained these progeny phenotypes: 355 anther: 339 brachytic, fine: 88 completely...
Genetic Linkage The six genes listed below are all located on Chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. Your goal is to construct a genetic map of Chromosome 2. That is, determine the order of these genes along chromosome 2 and the map distance in centimorgans between each gene. To complete this task, you will be given the results of a variety of two-point test crosses involving these genes. For each test cross you may assume that the female is heterozygous and...

Drosophila females of wild-type appearance but heterozygous for three autosomal traits are mated to males that are homozygous recessive for the three traits. The three autosomal recessive traits are glassy eyes (g), coal-colored bodies (c), and striped thoraxes (t). The three dominant traits are red eyes (g+), gray bodies (c+) and solid thoraxes (t+) (remember, the wild-type allele has a + after it). You examine 1000 progeny of the above cross and they have the following phenotypic classes: 265 g+c+t+ 275 gct 120 g+ct...
A standard three-point mapping is conducted for recessive mutations in autosomal genes purple eye (pr), curved wing (C) and black body (b). Their wild type alleles are also used for genetic mapping. An F Drosophila female heterozygous for purple eye (pr), curved wing (C) and black body (b) is crossed to a homozygous mutant male. The observed numbers and phenotypes of F are as follows: 360 pr cb 380 pr+ C+ + 104 pr C+ b 96 pr+ cb+ 30...
Wild harebells have blue flowers. Two strains of harebells carry recessive alleles that give the plants white flowers. a. Describe a cross to determine whether the white-flower causing alleles in these two strains are variants of the same gene or different genes, and the progeny phenotypes you expect to find in each case. b. You results from the cross above indicate that the two strains carry alleles at different genes. What phenotypic ratio do you expect to find among the...
FIVE. You have identified a new mutant in Drosophila that defines a gene you call “red.” When mutant it causes the “neck” of the fly (cervical connective) to be red. It behaves as an autosomal recessive mutation with alleles red+ and red-. You suspect it is linked to two known genes on the second chromosome “re” and “ti”. The re- mutation behaves as an autosomal recessive. Homozygous mutant flies fixate on TV reruns, “re+” normal flies avoid TV. The “ti”...
The allele se gives Drosophila a sepia body and se+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele ro of a separate gene gives rough eyes and ro+ gives smooth eyes, the wild-type phenotype. The allele ss of a third gene gives flies without thorax spines and ss+ gives flies with thorax spines, the wild-type phenotype. When females heterozygous for each of these genes were testcrossed with sepia, rough, spineless males, the following classes and numbers of progeny were obtained: wild...
The genes for sepia eye color, short bristles, and dark body coloration are on the same chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. Each gene has two alleles: wild type, which is dominant, or mutant, which is recessive. se+ is dominant and causes red eyes; se is recessive and causes sepia eyes sb+ is dominant and causes long bristles; sb is recessive and causes short bristles b+ is dominant and causes gray body coloration; b is recessive and causes dark...
