In Drosophila, a fully hetero sophila, a fully heterozygous female with the X-linked recessive genes a...
36. The recessive autosomal maize genes sh and bz are linked and 40 map units apart, If a plant with the genotype sh bz/ sh bz is selfed, what percentage of the progeny will be double recessive? 37. If the recombination frequency between the linked autosomal genes A and B in Drosophila is 15 percent, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect from a cross AB/ab females x AB/ab males? (There is no crossing over in Drosophila males). 38. In the...
2. In a testcross of a female Drosophila heterozygous for three linked recessive genes, the following phenotypes of progeny were obtained: 442 435 at bt d a bd at bd a bt d at bd a bt di at bt dt a bd Total ONEN 1000 A) Write out the parental genotype of the heterozygous parent indicating the correct allele configuration and gene order B) Construct a map of the genes and indicate the map-distances based on the data shown...
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...
43. Genes a and b are X-linked and are located 7 mu apart on the X chromosome of Drosophila. A female of genotype a+ b/a b+ is mated with a wild-type (a+b+/Y). a. What is the probability that one of her sons will be either a+b+ or a b+ in phenotype? b. What is the probability that one of her daughters will be a+b+ in phenotype? 44. Three recessive autosomal mutations in Drosophila: a versus wild-type A. b versus B,...
In Drosophila melanogaster, the recessive X-linked alleles white (w), miniature (m) and forked (f) give the phenotypes white eyes, miniature wings and forked brushes. The recombination between the w and m loci is 35%, and between the m and f loci, 20%. Wild-type males were crossed with females from a strain that was homozygous recessive for the three alleles, then the F1 flies were sibling mated. What phenotype frequencies are expected in F2 a) if there is no interference, and...
In Drosophila, the genes for black (b) body and curved (c) wings are linked on the same chromosome. The frequency of recombination between b---c is 0.276. How many recombinant offspring would be expected if 2000 progeny were produced from a testcross between a female heterozygous for both genes and a homozygous recessive male?
Mapping genes with recombination frequencies in Drosophila 1. Suppose you know of three linked loci on the Drosophila X chromosome (a, b, and c). Assume that you are starting out with true-breeding stocks that show all three recessive traits and true-breeding stocks that show all three dominant traits. A. If you wanted to do a 3-point test cross to map the three loci, how would you set up the cross? What genotypes do you use for males and females in...
6. Fine spines (s), smooth fruit (tu), and uniform color (u) are three recessive traits in cucumbers. These genes are linked on the same chromosome. A cucumber plant heterozygous for all three traits is used in the testcross, and the following offspring are obtained: SU CCCCCC Reuuuna a) Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome. b) Calculate the map distances between the genes. c) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among the genes. total: 230
By analyzing the gametes from a trihybrid fruit fly that is heterozygous for three linked genes (AaBbDd), you obtain the following data: Organize the 8 haploid genotypes into pairs that correspond to parentals, double crossovers (DCO) and each of the two types of single crossovers (SCO). Draw a map showing the order of the three genes on the chromosome. Label the map to indicate the distances (in centimorgans or map-units) between the gene in the middle and the genes on...
2. Three genes and their mutations are found on the third chromosome in fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Of these three genes, scarlet eyes (st) are recessive to red eyes (st"), cbony body color (eb) is recessive to gray body color (eb"), and spineless (ss), the st presence of small bristles, is recessive to normal bristles (ss). You eb SS were given a heterozygous fly (st'st eb'eb ss'ss) and were asked to eb ss design an experiment to map the distance...
