Genes A and B are linked. Individual plants homozygous for different combinations of these genes (AABB, aabb, AAbb, aaBB) were crossed at random to produce F1 plants. The F1 plants were self pollinated to produce the F2. The F2 progeny from six of the F1 self pollinations are listed below.

Number of F2 plants in each phenotypic class

            F1 Plant-------------------AB--------------- Ab --------------- aB----------------- ab

            1    --------------------------0 ----------------98 ---------------- 0------------------ 32

            2    ------------------------- 64 --------------10 -----------------8 ------------------18

            3    ------------------------ 106 --------------34-----------------0 ------------------ 0

            5    ------------------------- 50 --------------- 25 ---------------23------------------2

            6    ------------------------- 99 ---------------- 0 --------------- 31----------------- 0

Answer #1

a. the genotype of each F1 that produced each F2 population.

Genetic mapping have limited accuracy because it is based on the assumption that crossing over occur at random along chromosomes. This assumption is only partly correct because crossovers occur with greater frequency at some points rather then at others.

    15. You are studying com plants. You were able to determine that the gene for kernel color (C-colored and no color) and kernel waxiness (W = waxy and not waxy) are on the same chromosome and are 30 CM apart. You are ultimately interested in determining the potential phenotypic ratio if crossing over occurs. You start by crossing a male who is homozygous dominant for both genes with a female who is homozygous recessive for both genes. The F1 heterozygotes...

    A homozygous variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum Laciniatum) with lacerate leaves was crossed with another homozygous variety with normal leaves. All the Fj had lacerate leaves (jagged-edged leaves). Two F1 plants were crossed to produce the F2. Of the F2, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? two genes, with a dominant allele at either or both loci one gene, with codominant alleles at a single locus two...

    Question 2 Genes a and b are linked, with 20% recombination frequency. Two pure breeding strains (the parental cross) were crossed. The F1 was then testcrossed. a+b-/a-b+ x a-b-/a-b- What were the parental strains genotypes? b. What would be the genotypes and the probability of each, among progeny of the testcross? Example: a+b+/a-b- 45% c. Is this an example of cis- or trans-linkage?

Tom, Mary, and their 4 daughters do not exhibit symptoms of hemophilia. However, their son exhibits symptoms of hemophilia because: A) Tom is heterozygous B) Tom is homozygous C Mary is homozygous D) Mary is heterozygous E All of the above are equally likely What is the risk of having a child affected by disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance both...
