Question
Chapter 13.4, Problem 3LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: Map distances from the frequency of recombinants in test crosses.
Introduction: The genes located on the different chromosomes assort independently at the time of gamete formation and linked genes cannot assort independently.

Consider a maize plant: Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+ where cm is an unstable colorless allele caused by Ds insertion. What phenotypic ratios would be produced and in what proportions when this plant is crossed with a mutant c/c Ac+/Ac+? Assume that the Ac and c loci are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and the C allele encodes pigment production.
From a Drosophila testcross, the number of each phenotype obtained was as follows:
W+ m f+ 218
W m+ f 236
W+ m+ f 168
W m f+ 178
W+ m f 95
W m+ f+ 101
W+ m+ f+ 3
W m f 1
Total, 1000
Construct a genetic map.
In the sample data from Sordaria shown in the picture:
Count the total number of first and second segregations and calculate map units using equation below:
(recombinant refers to second division segregation and non-recombinants are first division segregations)
