A yeast geneticist irradiates haploid cells of a strain thatis an adenine-requiring auxotrophic mutant, caused bymutation of the gene ade1. Millions of the irradiatedcells are plated on minimal medium, and a small number of cells divide and produce prototrophic colonies.These colonies are crossed individually with a wildtype strain. Two types of results are obtained:(1) prototroph × wild type : progeny all prototrophic(2) prototroph × wild type : progeny 75% prototrophic,25% adenine-requiring auxotrophsa. Explain the difference between these two types ofresults.b. Write the genotypes of the prototrophs in each case.c. What progeny phenotypes and ratios do you predictfrom crossing a prototroph of type 2 by the original ade1auxotroph?

- In an intra-species cross performed in mustard plants of two different species (Brassica juncea and Brassica oleracea), a tall plant (TT) was crossed with a dwarf (tt) variety in each of the two species. The members of the F1 generation were crossed to produce the F2 generation. Of the F2 plants, Brassica juncea had 60 tall and 20 dwarf plants, while Brassica oleracea had 100 tall and 20 dwarf plants. Use chi-square analysis to analyze these results.arrow_forwardIn tomato the mutant genes o (oblate=flattened fruit), p (peach=hairy fruit) and s (compound inflorescence) were found to be in chromosome 2.

However, about 1 in every 2000 F1 flies had an "exceptional phenotype" and was either a white-eyed female or red-eyed male. How did Bridges explain this unexpected result?

- In the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cMarrow_forwardGenes a and b are 20 cM apart.

TheF1 offspring were crossed to mice with white fur and short tails.What are the possible phenotypes of the F2 offspring? Which F2offspring are recombinant, and which are nonrecombinant? Whatare the ratios of phenotypes of the F2 offspring if independentassortment is taking place? How are the ratios affected by linkage?arrow_forwardIn corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of the corn plants (i.e the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male sterile lines Using the cardboard chips, simulate the crosses indicated below. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offsprings in each cross, and properly label the nucleus and the cytoplasm of each individual in the cross Legend male sterile cytoplasm Male fertile cytoplasm FF nucleus Ff nucleus ff nucleus A.
