In corn, the genes that determine seed color and coat are both located on chromosome 9. Seed color (C) can be colored or colorless, where colored seed is dominant and seed coat (W) can be waxy or unwaxy, where waxy is dominant. A strain that was heterozygous for both genes was crossed with a plant that was homozygous recessive for both genes. The resulting F1 progeny is described below: colored, waxy seed 17 colored, unwaxy 33 uncolored, waxy seed 32 uncolored, unwaxy seed 18 The arrangement of alleles in P generation was?

In Drosophila, the brown mutation (bw, chromosome 2, position 104.5) results in brown eyes, while miniature (min, chromosome X, position 36.1) results in wings that are 2/3 the length of wild type. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1 F1 Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation. Use the space provided to show your work. Phenotype Females Males Overall (♀and ♂) =1 =1 =1
In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the trait of black body is due to a gene on chromosome 2 and black body b is recessive to wild type body b + . The trait of purple eyes is controlled by a gene that is also on chromosome 2 and purple eyes p is recessive to wild type eyes p + . A true-breeding wild type strain is crossed with a true breeding strain that has black bodies and purple eyes. The F1 generation is then testcrossed to the black body, purple eye strain and 500 progeny are produced as follows: 224 wild type for both body and eye 236 black body and purple eye 18 wild type body and purple eye 22 black body and wild type eye. What is the recombination frequency and genetic map distance between the two genes?
Waxy endosperm (wx), virescent seedling (v), and shrunken endosperm (sh) are all recessive mutants in corn. Waxy and shrunken are both on chromosome IX, located 18 map units apart. Virescent is on chromosome V and is not linked to the other loci. A strain of corn that is homozygous for waxy and virescent is crossed to a strain that is homozygous for shrunken endosperm. The F1 were entirely wild type. An F1 individual was then test crossed to a strain that is homozygous for waxy, virescent, and shrunken. Of 1,000 offspring, how many of the offspring will be virescent and shrunken, but not waxy? Using the information from Problem 1, how many of the offspring will be waxy, virescent, and shrunken?
In fruit flies, red eyes (pr+_) are dominant to purple eyes (prpr) and normal wings (vg+_) are dominant to vestigial wings (vgvg). The genes are located on the same chromosome. A purebreeding red-eyed fly with vestigial wings was crossed with a pure-breeding purple-eyed fly with normal wings. All of the F1 progeny had a WT phenotype. The recombination frequency between the two genes is 15%. If an F1 individual was test crossed, what percentage of the progeny would you expect to have the WT phenotype
In corn, the genes v (virescent seedlings), pr (red aleurone), and bm (brown midrib) are all on chromosome 5, but not necessarily in the order given. The cross: v+ pr bm/ v pr+ bm+ with v pr bm/ v pr bm produces 1000 progeny with the following phenotypes: v+ pr bm 226 v pr+ bm+ 229 v+ pr bm+ 153 v pr+ bm 185 v+ pr+ bm 59 v pr bm+ 71 v+ pr+ bm+ 36 v pr bm 41 What is the gene order, and the (b) genetic map of these three genes?
In Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1 F1 Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation. Use the space provided to show your work. Phenotype Females Males Overall (♀and ♂) =1 =1
Two genes, m (apical meristem) and r (starburst rhizosomes), are linked on chromosome #5 in pea plants. Both genes are recessive to wild type and found to be 8 MU apart. If a wild type heterozygote is test- crossed, and produces 91 apical meristem plants and 8 apical, starburst plants from a total of 200 plants were produced, how many wild type plants will be produced? 4 8. 12 16
In autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Each of the F1 GGgg plants would obtain 12 gametes which are 2GG, 8Gg, and 2g. How were these obtained?
In Drosophila, a cross was made between females—all expressing the three X-linked recessive traits scute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v)—and wild-type males. In the F1, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation, and 1000 offspring were counted, with the results shown in the following table. Phenotype Offspring sc s v 314 + + + 280 + s v 150 sc + + 156 sc + v 46 + s + 30 sc s + 10 + + v 14 No determination of sex was made in the data. (a) Using proper nomenclature, determine the genotypes of the P1 and F1 parents. (b) Determine the sequence of the three genes and the map distances between them. (c) Are there more or fewer double crossovers than expected? (d) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence. Does it represent positive or negative interference?
In Drosophila, sepia eyes (se), curled wings (cu) and ebony body (e) are found, in this order, on chromosome 3. Sepia is 22 map units from curled, which is 12 map units from ebony. A true-breeding female with sepia eyes and ebony body is crossed to a true- breeding male who has curled wings. The resulting F1 progeny from this cross are all wild type. An F1 female is test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Assuming a Coefficient of coincidence of 1: What proportion of the F2 progeny will express only the sepia trait? If there are 1000 total flies, what number will express curved only?
The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the F2 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect? Group of answer choices 192 wild type, 256 vestigial, 64 hairy, and 192 vestigial and hairy All vestigial and hairy. 576 wild type, 192 vestigial, 192 hairy, and 64 vestigial and hairy All wild type 256 wild type; 256 vestigial, 256 hairy, and 256 vestigial and hairy
Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow (y), white (w) and cut (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F1 males expressed the yellow-body and white eyes traits. The cross was carried to an F2 progeny and only male offspring were tallied. Based on the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed. a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents. b) Construct a map, assuming the white is at locus 1.5 on the X-chromosome. Phenotype Male offspring y + ct 9 + w + 6 y w ct 90 + + + 95 + + ct 424 y w + 376 y + + 0 + w ct 0
