The LOD score is -4. This means that 1C) A three-point testcross is used to determine the order of three linked genes. The following crossover progeny result: single crossovers, double crossovers, and no crossovers. To determine the order, the no-crossover progeny must be compared to what other class of progeny?arrow_forwardYou may insert a hand-drawn diagram of your map, but the rest of the assignment must be fully typed. The data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable.arrow_forward

The following problems are a mix of normal Mendelian inheritance, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, sex-linked, and dihybrid crosses. Complete each of the problems below. Show your work! It’s difficult for me to know where you are making your mistakes (and help you to correct them) if I cannot see how you completed the problem. The genes for hemophilia, a condition that causes blood not to clot properly, are located on the X chromosome. It is a recessive disorder. A man normal for blood clotting has children with a woman who is a carrier of the condition but still clots normally.
