To determine:
The order of the genes on the chromosome.
Introduction:
Interference is the genetic term that is used in crossover. It is used to measure the degree by which one crossover is interfering with additional crossovers. The coefficient of coincidence is the ratio that is obtained by the division of number of observed double cross over to number of expected double crossover.
Three recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster are:
Roughed
Javelin
a.

Explanation of Solution
The following table represents the resulted progeny of cross:
Genotype | Number | Recombinant or non recombinant |
37 | Non-Recombinant | |
2 | Recombinant with single crossover between | |
14 | Recombinant with single crossover between | |
146 | Recombinant with double crossover | |
2 | Recombinant with single crossover between | |
35 | Non-Recombinant | |
154 | Recombinant with double cross over | |
10 | Recombinant with single crossover between | |
Total | 4000 |
Non recombinant and recombinant progeny obtained from single cross over and double crossover can be identified from the resulted progeny.
These are the

Explanation of Solution
Distance between the genes can be calculated as:
Distance between the genes
The recombination frequency is calculated by the formula,
The single crossover between
The double crossover between
Substitute the value of the number of recombinant progeny and that of the number of total progeny in equation (1).
The percentage of recombinant frequency is calculated as,
The number of map units in
Therefore, the number of map units in
Hence, the distance between
The distance between the genes
The single crossover between
The double crossover between
Substitute the value of the number of recombinant progeny and that of the number of total progeny in equation (1).
The percentage of recombinant frequency is calculated as,
The number of map units in
Therefore, the number of map units in
Hence, the distance between

d.

Explanation of Solution
Expected number of double cross over will be equal to the product of the recombination frequency of single crossover with the sum of total number of progeny.
Recombination frequency of crossover between
Recombination frequency of crossover between
Sum of total progeny =4000
Formula for expected double cross over is,
Formula for coefficient of coincidence is:
Interference is calculated as:
The value coefficient of coincidence = 0.16, and interference =0.8

First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
