Question

If two genes are 24 cM apart on a genetic linkage map, how many recombinant offspring would you expect out of 150?

	A.	Depends if they are cis or trans
	B.	18
	C.	24
	D.	36
	E.	12

Answer 1

Answer #1

Percentage of Recombinant progenies = gene distance between the two genes = 24%

Percentage of Recombinant progenies = number of Recombinant progenies/total number of progenies × 100

24 = number of recombinant progenies/150 × 100

Number of recombinant progenies = 150 × 24 / 100 = 36

Answer is 36.

Please rate high.

Explain why two genes 50 or more map units apart on a genetic map can only result in a maximum of 50% recombinant gametes in two point cross. To answer this, ask yourself what percentage of recombinant gametes would result if the probability of crossing over in a tetrad involving these genes were 100%, as it would be if the two genes are 50 or more map units apart.

Two genes, A and B, are 64 cM apart on a chromosome. How can we measure the genetic distance between A and B? In a test cross between a double heterozygote and a homozygous recessive individual, we should observe 64% recombinant progeny If gene C lies between A and B, we can measure the recombination rate between A-C and C-B. Both of the above will work There is no way to measure genetic distance greater than 50 cM. I know...
