Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 6TYU
You design Drosophila crosses to provide recombination data for gene a, which is located on the chromosome shown in Figure 12.12. Gene a has recombination frequencies of 14% with the vestigial-wing locus and 26% with the brown-eye locus. Approximately where is gene a located along the chromosome?

The genetic map was based on crosses in Drosophila involving the three sex-linked genes a, b and c. “a” gives red eyes, “b” gives normal wings and “c” gives black body. The recombination frequencies between these genes are as follows; a and b is 23.8, b and c is 2.6 and a and c is 28.1, respectively. Could you draw a basic genetic map based on distance between these genes using dots to show distance(s)? Could you make one fundamental comment using these distances based on genetic linkage?
In a series of mapping experiments, the recombination frequencies for four different linked genes of the Drosophila fly were determined, as shown in the figure. Based on this information, what is the most probable
order of these genes on the chromosome?

- You are studying four linked genes located on chromosome 2 in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster: adp (which contributes to obesity), b (which contributes to body color), pr (which contributes to metabolism), and vg (which contributes to wing formation). A series of crosses between pair-wise combinations of these mutations yielded the following recombination frequencies between the indicated loci: pr and adp 9% adp and b 6% pr and b 3% vg and b 10% vg and pr 7% What is the genetic distance in map units (cM) between the adp and vg loci? 16 9 6 4arrow_forwardIn a mutant screen in Drosophila, you identified a gene related to memory, as evidenced by the inability of recessive homozygotes to learn to associate a particular scent with the availability of food. Given another line of flies with an autosomal mutation that produces orange eyes, design a series of crosses to determine the map distance between these two loci. You do not need to calculate recombination frequency.arrow_forwardTo determine the recombination frequency between body color and wing genes in flies, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 having red body and smooth wings with a yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly.

You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance. You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results: 359 wild-type 361 apricot, bristle, clipped 89 bristle, clipped 91 apricot 42 apricot, bristle 38 clipped 9 apricot, clipped 11 bristle Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C).
