Question
Chapter 16.6, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The fly or flies in which crossing over occurred to produce the recombinant offspring of the F2 generation.
Introduction:
Crossing over is defined as the exchange of genetic material of non-sister chromatid of the homologous chromosomes. This process occurs at the time of meiosis and will result in an increase in genetic diversity.

- When two genes are located on the same chromosome,what is the physical basis for the production of recombinant offspring in a testcross between a dihybrid parentand a double-mutant (recessive) parent?arrow_forwardDraw a Punnett square for the dihybrid cross. There are two known alleles of gene occupying a specific locus in the X chromosome. The gene in question codes for a transcription factor involved in digit development. The mutant allele is dominant and gives rise to an additional but non-functioning little finger (polydactyly) on both hands. A couple have had their DNA sequenced at the region of interest, the male exhibits polydactyly because of the mutation, the female is homozygous wild type at the same locus and therefore has the wild type phenotype. Both have green eyes. In this story; eye colour shows a monogenic autosomal inheritance pattern and the allele for brown eyes shows incomplete dominance with that for blue eyes, the heterozygote phenotype is green eyes. The genes for eye colour and polydactyly show no linkage.arrow_forwardIn an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. What is the genotype of the F1? Show the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion of each. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if: The F1’s are intercrossed? The F1’s are crossed with red plants If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.arrow_forward
- In a genetic laboratory, a plant species was subjected to radiation to produce chromosome mutations. The mutated plant was then inbred for many generations until it was true breeding for all of these mutations. It was then crossed to the original non-mutated plant, and the meiotic process of the F1 hybrids was examined. In the examination, a cell with a dicentric chromosome and an acentric fragment was noticed in anaphase I of the hybrid. (i) What kind of chromosomal mutation occurred in the irradiated plant? In your answer, indicate the position of the centromere. (ii) Diagram the alignment of the chromosomes during meiosis. Assume that the gene sequence in the original unirradiated plant is AB//CDEFGHIJK and the inverted region involved genes DEFGHI (double strokes indicate the position of the centromere). (ii) Diagram the results of a single crossover between homologous gene E and F in the inversion.arrow_forwardIn the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these. Red-eyed wi C Ở Red-eyed wt XX Y X Y Meiosisarrow_forwardWhat is mitotic recombination?
