- An individual heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation possesses the following chromosomes: A B • C D E F G A B • C D V W X R S • T U E F G R S • T U V W X Q. Give the products that result from alternate, adjacent-1, and adjacent-2 segregation.An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw the products of alternate, adjacent-1, and adjacent-2 segregations.a) Are the genes linked? Please explain SPECIFICALLY how you can distinguish between linked and unlinked genes in this instance. b) If the two genes are linked, calculate the % recombination between ser and thr. Show the formula used, as well as all of your calculations. c) Draw a single map illustrating the arrangement of the two genes on the chromosome with respect to each other and to the centromere of the chromosome. Make sure to map ALL three distances.
- Why is interference important? Why do we calculate it in a three-point cross? Why don’t we calculate interference in a two-point cross?What is meant by a sexlinked gene?L, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the genes on the chromosome? D-R: 35 CM P-D: 5 CM L-R: 10 CM D-P: 30 CM D-L 25 CM P-R: 40 CM Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing your gene order to the possible answer choices. D-L-P-R P-D-L-R P-R-D-L L-P-R-D R-L-D-P
- Two strains of S. cerevisae (yeast) are crossed. One has the genotype A B and the other a b. Which statement correctly describes the tetrads that can be produced by one reciprocal exchange between the A and B genes without gene conversion in the dihybrid? A) Recombination occurs at the four-strand stage to produce a tetrad with A B, A B, a B, and a b chromosomes. B) Recombination occurs at the four-strand stage to produce a tetrad with A B, A b, a B, and a b chromosomes. C) Recombination occurs at the two-strand stage to produce a tetrad with A B, A b, a B, and a b chromosomes. D) Recombination occurs at the two-strand stage to produce a tetrad with A b, A b, a B, and a B chromosomes.Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate. What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2? Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis. Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype. A-B- A-bb aaB- aabb
- A Neurospora colony at the edge of a plate seemed to be sparse (low density) in comparison with the other colonies on the plate. This colony was thought to be a possible mutant, and so it was removed and crossed with a wild type of the opposite mating type. From this cross, 100 ascospore progeny were obtained. None of the colonies from these ascospores was sparse, all appearing to be normal. What is the simplest explanation of this result? How would you test your explanation? (Note: Neurospora is haploid.)An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Explain why the fertility of this individual is likely to be less than the fertility of an individual without a translocation.Alleles of genes A and B were analyzed in Neurospora according to the cross shown below. Ordered tetrads are summarized in each horizontal row with the number of tetrads in each category listed alongside. A) Analyze the data to determine the recombination frequency (RF) between A and B, along with any additional information that is available from this data. B) Draw a map of the chromosome or chromosomes with appropriate map distances. C) Use the Perkins formula to reanalyze any relationship between A and B.
