Question
Give typed full explanation
You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 13.8 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 14.5 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are expected to be dwarf with red flowers. Round properly to 4 decimal digits.

- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forwardIn c. elegans, genetics model organism, movement problems (unc) and small body size (sma) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (unc+ and sma+). A worm homozygous for movement problems and small body is crossed with a worm homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal movement and normal body size. The F1 are then crossed with worms that have movement problems and small body size in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross is: Normal movement, normal body size 210 Movement problems, normal body size 9 Normal movement, small body size 11 Movement problems, small body size 193 a)From the test cross results, can you tell if the two genes are on the same chromosome or not? Explain your reasoning. b)What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for round eyes and white body were located on different chromosomes?

Color of plant: Blue is dominant (B), and yellow is recessive (b) Spikes or no spikes: Having spikes is dominant (G), and having no spikes is recessive (g).

- Show the cross between a plant which is tall and purple, heterozygous for both traits AND a plant which is short and purple; heterozygous for purple flowers. Use the dihybrid template printout from above for this cross. Insert your picture by clicking on the picture frame and ensure that your picture includes your name.arrow_forwardThe data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable. Make sure to double check the solution provided.arrow_forwardYou would like to isolate loci in the genome that influence plant height in tomato plants. Describe how you would achieve this through QTL mapping. Choose a true breeding tall strain and a true breeding short strain and compare the genomic sequences. Choose a true breeding tall strain and true breeding short strain and type them for molecular markers. Mate them together to produce F1 offspring and evaluate whether the F1 are tall or short. Choose two true breeding tall strains and compare the genomic sequences. Choose a true breeding tall strain and true breeding short strain and type them for molecular markers. Mate them together to produce F1 offspring. Genotype the F1 to identify makers that are associated with differences in plant height. Choose a true breeding tall strain and true breeding short strain and type them for molecular markers. Mate them together to produce F1 offspring, then backeross the F1 offspring to produce F2 offspring carrying recombinant chromosomes from tall…arrow_forward
