Explain why the percentage of recombinant offspring in a testcrossis a more accurate measure of map distance when two genes areclose together. When two genes are far apart, is the percentage ofrecombinant offspring an underestimate or overestimate of theactual map distance?
In the hybridization of 2genes (4 different alleles, 2 ofeach pair) how does epistasisaffect the proportion ofphenotypical forms in the F2generation?
A researcher mutagenized a group of butterflies and isolated six butterflies with extra-long bodies. Each butterfly has a recessive mutation in only one gene. The researcher
performed a complementation test using the six butterflies and got the following results, where "+" is wild-type body and "-" is extra-long body.

- In Drosophila (fruit flies), jammed wings (J), daughterless (da), curly wings (Cy), star eyes (S), and a black body (b) are determined by genes located on the same chromosome.

How would positive interferenceaffect these theoretical values?arrow_forwardAssume an ideal diploid population of size 2N=32 (Just like the Buri Drosophila drift experiment with 16 individuals, or 32 gene copies, every generation). a) What is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 16 copies will CHANGE BY FEWER than 2 copies in the next generation? Be sure you understand that this includes cases where the number of copies remains unchanged, as well as the cases (plural!) where the magnitude of change between generations is one. b) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift? c) In the same population, what is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 2 copies will change by fewer than 2 copies (same meaning as above) in the next generation? d) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift?arrow_forward
