In C. elegans, lon-2 and unc-2 are recessive mutations that are 8 map units apart on the X chromosome. An hermaphrodite who is Lon and Unc is mated to a wild-type male. An F1 hermaphrodite is mated to a wild-type male. What are the expected percentages of the different

- Explain this to me…..arrow_forwardMutant female: yellow body and purple eyes. Male: Normal Use: https://www.sciencecourseware.org/FlyLabJS/ Which mutant alleles are dominant? Which mutant alleles are recessive? Which mutant alleles are sex-linked? Which mutant alleles are autosomal? Can you tell at this point if the two genes are linked? Show the results of the dihybrid analysis. Are genes segregating independently? What is the evidence for or against this? Show the crosses you will use to obtain the mapping data. For the mapping crosses, Write out the crossing scheme and make a table of the results (ignore sex in this table, combine the male and female progeny). Identify the parental classes and the recombinant classes. For a 3-point cross, identify the double cross overs. Show your calculations for the recombination frequencies between the three genes (for the 3-point cross) or the two genes (for the two-point crosses). Draw a map of the Drosophila chromosomes 2, 3, and X, including…arrow_forwardA diploid species has 3 pairs of chromosomes in its somatic cells. In males, the first pair is large submetacentric[1]; the second is medium acrocentric[2], and the third is small telocentric[3]. In females, the first two pairs are like those of the males while the third is large metacentric[4][5], with satellite4 Illustrate the karyograms (drawing/picture of the chromosome) of the following: A triploid cell in females tetrasomic cell in males tetraploid cell in females [1] submetacentric --centrosome is just above the middle of the chromosome [2] acrocentric --centrosome is much higher location than submetacentric so that the “p” arm of the chromosome is much shorter than the q arm [3] telocentric --the centromere is at the end of the chromosome [4] metacentric --centrosome is in the middle of the chromosome; thus the “p-arm” and the “q-arm” or both arms of the chromosome are equal in length [5] satellite-a constriction in an arm of a chromosome, aside…arrow_forward
- Males of many diploid species (like us) have X and Y sex chromosomes. They are hemizygous for most X- linked genes. Thus, males express most X-linked alleles, whether they are dominant or recessive in females. In the fruit fly Drosophila, it is common to achieve the equivalent of a test cross of X-linked genes in females by assessing the readily observed phenotypes of their male progeny. Since males do not receive X-linked genes from their father, sires of these crosses can be normal or wild-type flies. In fly genetics, it is conventional to name a gene after the mutant phenotype that enabled its discovery. Your challenge is to establish gene order and map distances between three X-linked genes in Drosophila. Each gene is represented by recessive mutant alleles that express rather distinctive phenotypes relative to their dominant wild-type alternative alleles. Flies expressing fruitless (f) are bisexual, lush (1) have a heightened responses to ethanol, and ken&barbie (kb) lack external…arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, chromosomal crossing over does not occur in meiosis in males, whereas crossing over does occur in meiosis in females. In fruit flies that are heterozygous at many genes (i.e. many maternal and paternal versions of the genes differ), at what stage would cells no longer be heterozygous for any gene during the process of meiosis? a)After the second meiotic division in males, and after the first meiotic division in females. b)After the second meiotic division in both males and females. c)After the first meiotic division in both males and females. d)After the first meiotic division in males, and after the second meiotic division in females.arrow_forwardAn individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw a picture of these chromosomes pairing in prophase I of meiosis.arrow_forward
- The answer is "D" but can you explain in a short summary why D is the answer pleasearrow_forwardA normal mother has translocations on chromosomes 14:21. With respect to chromosomes 14:21, how many combinations of chromosomes are possible? How many gametes are viable? If the woman has children with an normal father, what is the probability that there is a daughter with Down Syndrome or a son with an unaffected phenotype?arrow_forwardA diploid (2n) trihybrid individual with the genotype EeFfGg can make eight genetically different gametes. Loci E/e and F/f are on chromosome 1 and locus G/g is on chromosome 2. Explain how a gamete containing the alleles e, f and g may be produced by meiosis. Refer specifically to meiotic events occurring during Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Anaphase II. (NB: remember to refer to the organism above).arrow_forward
