Suppose researchers studied the first chromosome of a new species and mapped three genes of interest, indicated as a, b, and c. A three‑factor cross was performed and the number of gametes formed from the F2 generation was recorded in a table. Note that the order of genes in the table is arbitrary.
Calculate the recombination frequencies for each given gene pair in map units.

After completing the gene mapping, the researchers treated individuals to induce inversions in the chromosomes. After treatment, another three‑factor cross was performed and the number of gametes formed from the F2 generation was recorded in a second table. Note that the order of genes in the table is arbitrary.

Calculate the recombination frequencies for each given gene pair in map units.
One of the earliest postzygotic barriers to arise is hybrid sterility. Two plants can be crossed, but the resulting seeds grow into sterile plants that cannot reproduce. Is this as important in plants as it is in animals (Hint: How many types of hybrid flowers and fruits are there, compared to hybrid animals)?

- g Has 39 päirs of chromosomes, a wolf has 39 pairs of chromosomes, but a red fox has only 17 pairs of chromosomes. Dog-wolf hybrids are well-known. How many chromosomes would you expect the hybrid to have? Would these chromosomes be homologous pairs? Dog-fox hybrids have occasionally claimed to occur, but none have ever been confirmed. If such a hybrid should ever be found, how many chromosomes would it have? Would these chromosomes be in pairs?

- After genetic selection, some originally diploid species can become triploid, like for example some banana trees, grapevines and molluscs. These organisms are mostly sterile because they produce nearly no gametes. Draw a diagram pointing to the step responsible for this sterility. Explain the usefulness of selecting such varietiesarrow_forwardWhat are characteristics of two loci being in linkage disequilibrium? O a. The two loci are located on different chromosomes. O b. There is a random association between a chromosome's genotype at one locus compared to another locus. O c. The coefficient of linkage disequilibrium is greater than zero. O d. The genotype on a chromosome for a given locus is independent of other genotypes at other loci on the same chromosome.arrow_forwardThe New World cotton species Gossypium hirsutum has a 2n chromosome number of 52. The Old World species G. thurberi and G. herbaceum each have a 2n number of 26. When these species are crossed, the resulting hybrids show the following chromosome pairing arrangements at meiosis: Interpret these observations phylogenetically, using diagrams. Clearly indicate the relationships between the species. How would you prove that your interpretation is correct?(PICTURE ADDED)arrow_forward

So, you conduct several generations of matings, and after you have collected all your data, you are ready to analyze your results. You conduct a Chi2 test to test your hypothesis. You have 6 groups and calculate a Chi? = 13.22. Given that the critical value at 0.05 level of %3D significance = 11.07 at df = 5, %3D (A) State your null hypothesis.

- a) You are studying cushion plants in New Zealand: the wild-type cushion plan has a wide canopy. You obtain eight cushion plants that all have narrow canopies caused by a single autosomal recessive mutation. To determine how many genes are defined by these mutations, you mate the plants together and get the results shown in the complementation table below. The “–“ represents plants with narrow canopies and the “+” represents wide canopies. What will the offspring of a cross between plants A and F look like? b) Based on the above, how many different genes are defined by the 8 mutant strains?arrow_forwarda) Briefly give a reason, besides anything that requires you to invoke natural selection, why a researcher might detect significant LD between many pairs of unlinked loci ín their study species that can only reproduce sexually? b) When comparing species of plants that can only reproduce sexually and that have the same rate of recombination per bp, give a likely reason for why the distance along a chromosome out to which average is >0.3 (to pick an arbitrary level of LD) can be much greater in one species than in the other?arrow_forwardA species of cereal rye (Secale cereale) has a chromosome number of 14, while a species of Canadian wild rye (Elymus canadensis) has a chromosome number of 28. Sterile hybrids can be produced by crossing Secale with Elymus. (a) What would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic cells of the hybrids? (b) Given that none of the chromosomes pair at meiosis I in the sterile hybrid (Hang and Franckowlak, 1984), speculate on the anaphase I separation patterns of these chromosomes.arrow_forward
