a. If
b. If two crossover events occurred between these two genes, what are the genotypes of recombinant chromosomes?
c. Can you make a general statement about how the occurrence of two crossover events between a given pair of linked genes affects the estimate of recombination frequency? (Hint: Think about this problem for a gene pair with a small recombination frequency versus a gene pair with a much higher recombination frequency. See also Figure

Both the domestic Muscovy duck and the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) both have a diploid number of 80 chromosomes (2n=80). These two different genera of ducks can mate and produce a mulard. The mulards are bred because of their high meat production. As seen in many interspecific F1 hybrids, mulards are sterile.
a. What is the expected chromosome number in the somatic cells of the mulard?
b. Explain why the mulard is sterile?
The figure below shows a replicated homologous chromosome pair during meiosis where one of the chromosomes carries an inversion. Assume a crossover has occurred between D & E.
Deduce the phenotypic proportions in the progeny of thefollowing crosses of autotetraploids in which the a+/a locus is very close to the centromere. (Assume that the fourhomologous chromosomes of any one type pair randomly two by two and that only one copy of the a+ allele isnecessary for the wild-type phenotype.)a. a+/a+/a/a × a/a/a /ab. a+/a/a /a × a/a/a/ac. a+/a/a /a × a+/a/a /ad. a+/a+/a /a × a+/a/a /a
