**THEME 2: The figure below shows the types and numbers of gametes produced by a trihybrid.**

The diagram illustrates the possible crossover (CO) events during gamete production in a trihybrid involving three genes denoted as a, b, and c. Each horizontal line represents a chromosome, with "+" indicating the wild-type allele. Crossover events are shown where lines intersect. The right column lists the types and number of gametes resulting from these events.

**Possible CO events during gamete production in a trihybrid:**

1. No crossover: 
   - Gametes: 142 "+++" and 158 "abc"

2. Single crossover between a and b:
   - Gametes: 99 "++c", 94 "+bc", 96 "a+b", 91 "ab+"

3. Single crossover between b and c:
   - Gametes: 72 "+b+", 72 "a+c", 71 "ab+", 71 "a+c"

4. Double crossover:
   - Gametes: 7 "+++"
   - Gametes: 7 "abc"
   - Gametes: 5 "+a+"
   - Gametes: 5 "ab+c"
   - Gametes: 5 "a+b+"

**Table Completion:**

a) Please complete the table indicating the number of offspring of the test-cross produced by each type of gamete and the class of gamete contributed by the trihybrid.

| Phenotype | Number of offspring | Class             |
|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|
| +++       |                     | Non recombinant   |
| abc       |                     | Non recombinant   |
| +bc       |                     | Single CO         |
| a+b       |                     | Single CO         |
| +b+       |                     | Single CO         |
| a+c       |                     | Single CO         |
| ab+       |                     | Single CO         |
| +a+       |                     | Double CO         |
| abc       |                     | Double CO         |

b) Briefly explain the reasons behind the larger numbers of +++ and abc gametes. There are more of those types of gametes because ______________.

c) Please calculate the coefficient of coincidence (COC) and the value of interference (I).

| COC = | _______________ |
| I =   | _______________ |

Expert Solution
Step 1: A. Class and number of offspring

Pheno     No. Of offspring     Class

+++         320                           Non recombinant

abc         330                           Non recombinant

+bc          99                            SCO b/w  a&b 

a++          96                            SCO b/w a&b

+b+            7                              DCO

a+c            5                              DCO
