Chapter 15, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To analyze: Benefits of having similar segments on X and Y chromosomes.
Introduction: Humans are diploid organisms having 23 pairs of chromosomes out of which the last two, X and Y-chromosomes are known as sex chromosomes whereas the rest are known as autosomes. These sex chromosomes are passed on from parents to progeny as they carry the genes which are important for the development of traits and characteristics in the offspring. The females have both XX- chromosomes whereas the males have XY-chromosome.

Cat fur coat color genetics is interesting. Orange fur is dominant (''B'') to black fur (''b'') and piebald, which is white spotting, is dominant (''S'') to non-white-spotted (''s''). Both of those genes are located on the X chromosome. In addition, in cats, somatic cells exhibit X-inactivation randomly, which explains why there are tortoiseshell cats (when heterozygous, have orange and black spots) as well as calico cats (orange and black but also with white spots). An orange and white spotted male is mated with a tortoiseshell female.
State the genotype of the male and the female.

Draw a dihybrid Punnet square to show the possible offspring:
A cytogeneticist has collected tissue samples from members of a certain butterfly species. Some of the butterflies were located in Canada, and others were found in Mexico. Through karyotyping, the cytogeneticist discovered that chromosome 5 of the Canadian butterflies has a large inversion compared with chromosome 5 of the Mexican butterflies. The Canadian butterflies were inversion homozygotes, whereas the Mexican butterflies had two normal copies of chromosome 5.
1) Would a cross between Mexican and Canadian butterflies produce phenotypically normal offspring? and
2) Would the offspring of the cross (so F2 generation) be fertile?

- A new gene is being investigated in fruit flies. The recessive allele of this gene (b) causes the wings to develop a blue color, while the dominant allele (b+) permits wild-type colorless wings to develop. Preliminary studies indicate that this new gene is located on the X-chromosome. You decided to perform a two-point testcross to determine its positionrelative to the well-established garnet eyes gene (g). You cross a female heterozygous for both genes with a testcross male fly and obtain the male offspring results shown in table 1, below. Is the original female a coupling or repulsion heterozygote? What is the map distance between genes b and g?. Based on these results, gene b must be located between what two genes on the map? You perform another two-point testcross between gene b and gene v and obtained the results in table 2, below. Now, you can localize gene b to be specifically between which two genes?arrow_forwardPart A You start your experiments with the eyeless mutation on chromosome IV. You cross the reciprocal translocation strain to the eyeless pure line to generate F, flies that are both translocation heterozygotes and Ee heterozygotes.

This feature can be seen in a microscope, but otherwise has no effect on the phenotype of the person carrying it. When such a “blob" exists on a given copy of chromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome and is inherited. A couple conceived a child, but the fetus had multiple abnormalities and was miscarried. e.g., The fetus had three copies of chromosome 16, where 2 of the 3 copies of chromosome 16 had large blobs. Both of the mother's copies of chromosome 16 lacked blobs, but the father was heterozygous for blobs. The fetus was formed from a fertilization event that included a gamete produced by the in which nondisjunction occurred during the meiotic division. Select an answer and submit.

- Mitotic recombination can occasionally produce a twin spot.Let’s suppose an animal species is heterozygous for two genesthat govern fur color and length: one gene affects pigmentation,with dark pigmentation (A) dominant to albino (a); the other geneaffects hair length, with long hair (L) dominant to short hair (l).The two genes are linked on the same chromosome. Let’s assume ananimal of this species is AaLl; A is linked to l, and a is linked to L.Draw the chromosomes labeled with these alleles, and explainhow mitotic recombination could produce a twin spot with onespot having albino pigmentation and long fur and the other havingdark pigmentation and short fur.arrow_forwardBarr bodies are formed to adjust X chromosome dosage in species other than humans, such as Drosophila (fruit flies) and C. elegans (nematodes). True or False ?arrow_forward2) Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. At one locus on the X chromosome one allele (X*) encodes black fur; another allele (X°) encodes orange fur. Females can be black (X* X*), orange (X°x°), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (X* X°). Males can either black (X*Y) or orange (XOY). I have a female tortoiseshell that becomes pregnant by a stray male cat. Her kittens are: 1 orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. Give the GENOTYPES of the mom, all the kittens, and the male stray cat.arrow_forward
- You continue your experiments with the black mutation on chromosome II. You cross the reciprocal translocation strain to the black pure line to generate F, flies that are both translocation heterozygotes and Bb heterozygotes. As before, you testcross F¡ males and females in two separate experiments. F1 males x pure black females (Note: There is no crossing over in the F1 males.) F, females x pure black males (Note: Crossing over may occur in the F, females.)

Yellow is 14 map units from crossveinless, and crossveinlessis 32 map units from forked. A yellow, forked female is crossed to a crossveinless male. An F1 female is crossed to a yelow, crossveinless, forked male, yielding the F2 generation. In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless and forked, but not yellow? Assume a coefficient of coincidence of 1. In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that are completely wild type? In the F2, what is the probability of obtaining progeny that express crossveinless, but not yellow or forked?arrow_forwardOne of the X chromosomes in a particular Drosophila female had a normal order of genes but carried recessive alleles of the genes for yellow body color (y), vermilion eye color (v), and forked bristles (f), as well as the dominant X-linked Bar eye mutation (B). Her other X chromosome carried the wild-type alleles of all four genes, but the region including y+, v+, and f+ (but not B+) was inverted with respect to the normal order of genes. This female was crossed to a wild-type male in the cross diagrammed her. The cross produced the following male offspring: Y v f B 48 y+ v+ f+ B+ 45 y v f B+ 11 y+ v+ f+ B 8 y v f B 1 y+ v+ f+ B+ 1 a. Why are there no male offspring with the allele combinations y v f+, v+ v+ f, y v+ f+, or y+ v f (regardless of the allele of the Bar eye gene)? b.What kinds of crossovers produced the y v f b+ and v+ y+ f+ B offspring?

I know with reciprocal translocations that if you're swapping the same *amount* of genetic material, it would be balanced, but if not, it would probably be unbalanced. (I'm referring to the genetic material of each chromosome, and not the total genetic material). But simple translocations on the other hand, you're adding part of a chromosome to another without swapping. So it's not possible to have a balanced simple translocation, correct?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila the genes forked bristles (f and f+) and vermilion eyes (v and v+) are ~24 m.u. apart on the X chromosome. From a cross of f v / f+ v+ females with f v / y males, what % of the progeny do you expect to have the f+ v+ phenotypes? (Don’t let the X chromosome throw you off – this question is essentially asking what % of the female’s gametes will be f+ v+).arrow_forward
