- Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn and ct+ is crossed to a sn+ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows: genotype number sn ct 15 sn ct+ 34 sn+ ct 33 sn+ct+ 18 What is the map distance between sn and ct?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles.

- In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pp homozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select the statements below that are TRUE. Select 2 correct answer(s) The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 CM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 CM. The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are p S and Ps. The homologs in the plant with unknown genotype are PS and p s.arrow_forward+ ec +/Y + + w/Y y ec +/Y + ec +/y ec w ++ w/y ec w у ес +у ес и Determine the order in which the three loci y, ec, and w Occur on the chromosome and prepare a linkage map. 7.22 A cross involving X-linked genes was made between yellow, bar, vermilion female fies and wild males, and the F1 females were crossed with y B v males.

Held-out wings and ebony body are recessive, autosomal mutants on chromosome III, mapping 12 map units apart. A Bar-eyed, ebony-bodied male was crossed to a held-out female, and the resulting F1 progeny WERE INBRED to produce the F2. At what frequency do you expect wild-type flies from this cross? (Reminder: Crossing over does not occur in the male). Based on the information in Problem 3, how often would you get a bar ebony but not held-out progeny?arrow_forward
- Chlamydomonas, a eukaryotic green alga, may be sensitive to the antibiotic erythromycin, which inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. There are two mating types in this alga, mt+ and mt-. If an mt+ cell sensitive to the antibiotic is crossed with an mt- cell that is resistant, all progeny cells are sensitive. The reciprocal cross (mt+ resistant and mt- sensitive) yields all resistant progeny cells. Assuming that the mutation for resistance is in the chloroplast DNA, what can you conclude from the results of these crosses?arrow_forwardIn silkmoths (Bombyx mori), red eyes (re) and white-banded wings (wb) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (re+ and wb+); these two genes are on the same chromosome. A moth homozygous for red eyes and white-banded wings is crossed with a moth homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have wild-type eyes and wild-type wings. The F1 are crossed with moths that have red eyes and white-banded wings in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are wild-type eyes, wild-type wings red eyes, wild-type wings wild-type eyes, white-banded wings red eyes, white-banded wings a. What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for red eyes and for white-banded wings were located on different chromosomes? b. What is the rate of recombination between the gene for red eyes and the gene for white-banded wings?arrow_forwardIn a species of bird, feather colour is determined by a single, non-autosomal gene that shows complete penetration. A red-feathered female mates with a blue-feathered male, and all the F1 males are blue-feathered and the F1 females are red-feathered. When the F1 individuals are crossed, all the F2 males are again blue-feathered and the F1 females are again red- feathered. Provide the genotype of the F2 males and females. Clearly indicate which genotype is associated with males and females, respectively.

- Three autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu. Anindividual that is AA bb CC was crossed to an individual that is aaBB cc to produce heterozygous F1 offspring. The F1 offspring werethen crossed to homozygous aa bb cc individuals to produce F2offspring.If we assume that no double crossovers occur, what percentageof F2 offspring is likely to be homozygous for all three genes?arrow_forwardThree autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu.
