Answer #1

3). b). 20%

During meiosis, each member of a pair of genes tends to be randomly distributed into gametes (receive alleles) independently of how other chromosomes are distributed. Genes that are having their loci nearer to each other are not generally separated during chromosomal crossover, and are inherited together to the offspring. These genes are known as linked genes (two different chromosomes), and they always have multiple alleles.

If two linked genes are separated by 10 cM (centi morgans or map units), the percent recombinants produced by this cross is always equal to the 10% and the remaining 90% will be identical to the parental genotype. Means, the percent crossing over is equal to the recombination frequency.

    Which of the following statement(s) are true? Morgan traced the eye colour gene in flies to the X chromosome. 50% recombinant progeny are observed for two unlinked genes, which is due to the independent assortment of homologous chromosomes in metaphase 1 In very long chromosomes > 50% recombination can be observed. Crossing over between homologous, parental chromosomes is the mechanism of breaking up linkage of two genes to form recombinant chromosomes. The frequency of recombination is directly proportional to the...

    Short Answer 27. An individual has the following genotype. Gene loci (A) and (B) are 20 map units apart, which determines their probability of recombination. 1) Indicate all the possible gametes that this individual can produce (with crossing over), 2) Label the gametes that are recombinant and non- recombinant. 3) Calculate the recombination frequency of the recombinant and non-recombinant gametes. The genes are not COMPLETELY linked. bb BB 28. Now imagine the genes are completed linked in #27. 1) What...

    1. 2. 13. Which statement explains why the recombination frequency between two genes is always less than 50%? Recombination cannot be more than 50% because chromosomes are only 50 map units in length. The genotype of the F, gametes will always be 50% parental gametes and 50% recombinant gametes. Genes with a recombination frequency near 50% are unlinked and have an equal likelihood of being inherited together or separately. F1 gametes always have 50% of their alleles from each parental...

    There are two alleles for the arr gene, A and a. There are also two alleles for bee gene, B and b. The two genes are on a chromosome that is 1.5 micrometers in length, but it has yet to be determined if the two genes are linked. Below is data from a study to determine if the genes are linked, and if so, how far apart the genes are on the chromosome. An organism that is heterozygous for both...

    5. You started working in a Drospohila lab. You are studying two different autosomal traits, body color and antennae length. Gray body (B) is completely dominant to black body (b) and long antennae length (A) is completely dominant to short antennae length (a). You cross true-breeding gray bodied, long antennae files to true-breeding black bodied, short antennae. The F1 progeny all have gray bodies and long antennae. a. You perform a testcross to the F1 progeny produced from the parent...

    Genes A and B have been physically mapped to chromosomal landmarks that can be seen under a light microscope. Linkage mapping involving multiple genes has resulted in a genetic map distance of 65 m.u. between A and B. A researcher observes meiotic prophases under a microscope and wants to determine which proportion of meiotic cells will show a chiasma (the physical structure formed during crossing over) between A and B. Given the genetic map distance the expectation is that a...
