Chapter 5, Problem 8P

Gene G recombines with gene T at a frequency of 7% , andgene G recombines with gene R at frequency of 4% . a. Draw two possible genetic maps for these three genes, and identify the recombination frequencies predictedfor each map.

Assuming any desired genotype is available, propose a genetic cross whose result could be used to determine which of the proposed genetic maps is correct.

The drug ivacaftor has recently been developed totreat cystic fibrosis in children with the rare G551Dmutant allele of CFTR.a. Do you think that ivacaftor would be effective onlyin patients homozygous for the G551D mutation,or might it work as well in compound heterozygotes in which one copy of chromosome 7 hadG551D and the other copy a different allele ofCFTR, such as the more prevalent allele ΔF508?(The protein encoded by G551D folds up properlyand inserts into the cell membrane, but is inefficient in chloride ion transport. Ivacaftor increasesthe efficiency of G551D’s ion transport. TheΔF508 protein does not fold up properly and therefore does not get inserted into the cell membrane.)b. Why do you think ivacaftor would be more effectivein children than in older cystic fibrosis patients?c. The scientists who developed ivacaftor had a modelfor cystic fibrosis: a line of cells that grow in culture and that are homozygous for G551D. Thesecells accumulate mucus at their surfaces that…
A Neurospora cross was made between a strain that carried the mating-type allele A and the mutant allele arg-1and another strain that carried the mating-type allele aand the wild-type allele for arg-1 (+). Four hundred linear octads were isolated, and they fell into the sevenclasses given in the table below. (For simplicity, they areshown as tetrads.)a. Deduce the linkage arrangement of the mating-typelocus and the arg-1 locus. Include the centromere orcentromeres on any map that you draw. Label all intervalsin map units.b. Diagram the meiotic divisions that led to class 6. Labelclearly
Consider two maize plants:a. Genotype C/c m ; Ac/Ac+, where cm is an unstable allele caused by a Ds insertionb. Genotype C/c m, where cm is an unstable allele caused by Ac insertionWhat phenotypes would be produced and in what proportions when (1) each plant is crossed with a basepair-substitution mutant c/c and (2) the plant in part a is crossed with the plant in part b? Assume that Ac and c are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and that mutant c /C is Ac+.
