Incomplete dominance and epistasis are both terms thatdefine genetic relationships. What is the most basicdistinction between these terms?
L, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid
organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and
the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the
genes on the chromosome?
D-R: 35 CM
P-D: 5 CM
L-R: 10 CM
D-P: 30 CM
D-L 25 CM
P-R: 40 CM
Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For
example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed
as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing
your gene order to the possible answer choices.

In the fruit fly, recessive mutations in either of two independently assorting genes, brown and purple, prevent the synthesis of red pigment in the eyes. Thus, homozygotes for either of these mutations have brownish-purple eyes. However, heterozygotes for both of these mutations have dark red, that is, wild-type eyes. If such double heterozygotes are intercrossed, what kinds of progeny will be produced, and in what proportions?

- A standard three-point mapping is conducted for recessive mutations in autosomal genes purple eye (pr), curved wing ( c) and black body (b). Their wild type alleles are also used for genetic mapping. An F1 Drosophila female heterozygous for purple eye (pr), curved wing (c) and black (b) is crossed to a triply homozygous mutant male. The observed numbers and phenotypes of the offspring are as follows: 360 pr c b 380 pr+ c+ b+ 104 pr c+ b 96 pr+ c b+ 30 pr c b+ 20 pr+ c+ b 6 pr c+ b+ 4 pr+ c b PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING: A) State the order of genes on this chromosome. B) Calculate map distances between the gene pairs: pr-c, pr-b, c-b. Show calculations, state the number of map units and which gene pairs they refer to.arrow_forwardA researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes: F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, long You know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results. a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the "brown, long" class. d) You obtain a value of 3.47 for the chi-square test.
