Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 17 Problem 38P

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

A large stock of Neurospora rearrangement synthesizes a strain with duplication on the right arm of chromosome 3. And a deletion for the tip of chromosome 4, the procedure would be:

• Initially as strain is selected, which has the appropriate 3, 4 reciprocal translocation.

• Cross this strain with a wild type to obtain heterozygotes.

• In these heterozygotes, adjacent-1 segregation occurs.

• One of the meiotic products of this segregation will have duplication on the right arm of chromosome 3 and a deletion. for the tip of chromosome 4.

• Thus, isolate the product.

Hence, the meiotic products of this segregation will have duplication on the right arm of chromosome 3 and a deletion, for the tip of chromosome 4.
