3. You have set up crosses in rabbits to test for linkage between two loci, E and T (controlling ear shape and tail length, respectively). The loci are on the same chromosome. The results are shown below. Assume that sex determination in rabbits works just like in humans and that X-inactivation is not a factor. In both F1 and F2, enough progeny were collected to be confident about the observed proportions. P: Round-ear, short tail male Long-ear, long tail female F1 progeny: All progeny (males and females): Long ears, long tails F1 males F1 females X long ears, long tails: 87 males, 194 females long ears, short tails: 10 males, no females round ears, long tails: 12 males, no females round ears, short tails: 91 males, no females F2 progeny: A) Give the complete genotypes (including phase) of the P and F1 generation animals, using lower case (e, t) for recessive alleles. B) Do the loci show linkage? If so, give the map distance, clearly showing how you calculated it. (No need for x^2 analysis.)

Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. You have set up crosses in rabbits to test for linkage between two
loci, E and T (controlling ear shape and tail length, respectively). The loci are
on the same chromosome. The results are shown below. Assume that sex
determination in rabbits works just like in humans and that X-inactivation is not
a factor. In both F1 and F2, enough progeny were collected to be confident
about the observed proportions.
P:
Round-ear, short tail male
Long-ear, long tail female
F1 progeny:
All progeny (males and females): Long ears, long tails
F1 males
F1 females
long ears, long tails: 87 males, 194 females
long ears, short tails: 10 males, no females
round ears, long tails: 12 males, no females
round ears, short tails: 91 males, no females
F2 progeny:
A) Give the complete genotypes (including phase) of the P and F1 generation
animals, using lower case (e, t) for recessive alleles.
B) Do the loci show linkage? If so, give the map distance, clearly showing how you
calculated it. (No need for x^2 analysis.)
