- Consider two maize plants:a. Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+, where cm is an unstableallele caused by a Ds insertionb. Genotype C/cm, where cm is an unstable allele causedby Ac insertionWhat phenotypes would be produced and in whatproportions when (1) each plant is crossed with a basepair-substitution mutant c/c and (2) the plant in part a iscrossed with the plant in part b? Assume that Ac and care unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequencyis negligible, and that mutant c /C is Ac+.6). To investigate the genetic control of locomotive behavior in the diploid nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, eight "wiggly" mutants were isolated, which wiggle in an uncoordinated way rather than smoothly gliding. These eight mutants were crossed together in all possible pairwise combinations, yielding the results summarized in the table above (+ means that all the progeny were wild type, and m means that all the progeny showed the wiggly mutant phenotype). Organize the eight mutations into con lementation groups, each consisting of a group of mutations affecting the same gene. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 E N+E 2 3+1 m + m 4 5 + m m E+ + + EE 6 ++E E+ +EE m m + + + + + + + + + m 7 8 ++4 ∞+E +E m m ++ EConsider two maize plants:a.

- Consider the first category of test-cross offspring shown in figure 8.2 (+b, LS). Consider also that the parents of the heterozygous female flies in the test cross had the following genotypes: bb, SS, and +, LL. A. What would be the physical phenotype of these flies? B. If PC was conducted with the DNA of one of these flies using the primers for the molecular marker, what would be the appearance of the bands on an electrophoresis gel with the PC products? C. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?stion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently? Why or why not? the partial table of critical values for X2 calculations to test this hypothesis.
- Complementation tests of distinct recessive mutants, 1 through 8, produce the data in the matrix below. A plus (+) indicates complementation, meaning the phenotype of the combined alleles is wild type, and a minus (-) indicates a failure to complement meaning that a mutant phenotype results.
