Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5TYU
Using the information from problem 4, scientists do a further testcross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology. The offspring are tall upturned snout, 40; dwarf upturned snout, 9; dwarf downturned snout, 42; tall downturned snout, 9. Calculate the recombination frequency from these data, and then use your answer from problem 4 to determine the correct order of the three linked genes.

between genes A and B alone totals 40 and 42, while the double-crossover progeny total 4 and 6. What is the recombination frequency between
genes A and B if the total number of progeny from the cross is 1000?

- As per our guidelines, we are able to only answer three subparts in a question that is posted. Please post the remaining subparts from Part B as separate questions. this is the remaining questions 4. What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? 5. What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? Show your calculations. 6. How many map units apart are they?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forwardIn a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Mm Rr Ss is test crossed to a pure breeding recessive plant with the genotype mm rr ss. The offspring genotypes are as follows: Genotype Number Mm Rr Ss 687 Mm Rr ss 5 Mm rr Ss 68 Mm rr ss 196 mm Rr Ss 185 mm Rr ss 72 mm rr Ss 8 mm rr ss 679 Total 1900 1.

- A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?arrow_forwardYou are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings.arrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. a) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant? b) What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm?arrow_forward
- Cougar coat color and eye color are determined by two genes on the same chromosome, gene C and gene E. Gene C has two alleles: the dominant allele C produces wild type (tan) coats and the recessive allele c produces white coats. Gene E has two alleles: the dominant allele E produces wild type (brown eyes) and the recessive allele e confers blue eyes. To determine the recombination rate between these two loci you cross a wild-type cougar (CCEE) to a white-coated, blue-eyed cougar to produce a diheterozygous male cougar (CcEe). You then mate F1 male to a series of white-coated, blue-eyed female cougars to produce a panel of F2 offspring in the table below. What is the recombination rate between the two loci? Express your answer in map units, rounded to the nearest integer. phenotype number of F1 offspring tan coat, brown eyes 200 tan coat, blue eyes 50 white coat, blue eyes 201 white coat, brown eyes 55arrow_forwardTwo linked loci have a recombination frequency of 5%. A series of crosses is performed. The P generation includes an individual that is homozygous dominant for trait 1 and homozygous recessive for trait 2. The second individual is homozygous recessive for trait 1 and homozygous dominant for trait 2. The F1 generation is crossed with individuals that are homozygous recessive for both traits. If 400 F2 offspring are produced, how many offspring with each phenotype are expected? Fill in the table below with your answers. Phenotype Number of Offspring Predicted Recessive 1, Recessive 2 Dominant 1, Dominant 2 Recessive 1, Dominant 2 Dominant 1, Recessive 2 Total offspring 400 For the results above, determine which phenotypes are parental and which are recombinant. Phenotype Parental or Recombinant? Dominant 1, Dominant 2 Recessive 1, Dominant 2 Recessive 1, Recessive 2 Dominant 1, Recessive 2arrow_forwardThe image attached shows a parental cross that is homozygous wild female x white male.
