A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and wings) is
mated with a black fruit fly with no wings. The offspring are:
gray body with wings: 895
black body with wings: 905
gray body without wings: 110
black body without wings: 90
What is the recombination frequency between the two genes?
In the mapping example in Fig 2, the dominant alleles were on one chromosome and the recessive alleles were on the homolog. Let’s consider a twofactor cross in which the dominant allele for one gene is on onechromosome, but the dominant allele for a second gene is on thehomolog. A cross is made between AAbb and aaBB parents. The F1offspring are AaBb. The F1 heterozygotes are then testcrossed to aabbindividuals. Which F2 offspring are recombinant?

- Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb.

Include map units.arrow_forwardIn flies, long wings are a dominant trait, and short wings are a recessive trait. Medium wings are the heterozygous trait. Based on this information, if a homozygous long-winged fly is crossed with another a heterozygous fly, their offspring will have which percentages for long, medium, and short wings? Assume random chromosome segregation. A) 25% long, 75% medium, 0% short B) 50% long, 259% medium, 25% short C) 50% long, 50% medium, 0% short D) 100% medium, 0% long, 0% shortarrow_forward
- What feature(s) of this pedigree indicate(s) dominant inheritance?arrow_forwardA female from true breeding line of Drosophila with white eyes is crossed with a male from a true breeding line with brown eyes. All of the offspring have wild type brick red eyes. Which of the following explanations is most likely? A) There are many alleles for the single gene for eye color. Wild type brick red eyes result only when the fly is heterozygous. B) The alleles for brown, white, and brick red eyes are alleles for a single locus. The allele for brown eye color is dominant to the allele for brick red eye color and to the allele for white eyes. C) There is more than one gene for eye color. The brown mutation and the white mutation occur in separate genes and are both recessive to the wild type alleles. The offspring are heterozygous for both genes, so they are phenotypically wild type. D) None of the above. It is not possible for a cross between a white-eyed and a brown-eyed fly to produce wild type offspring.arrow_forwardConsider five unlinked genes: a, b, c, d, e are the recessive alleles, and A, B, C, D, E are the dominant alleles. Now if two quintuple heterozygote individuals are crossed, what is the probability of getting an offspring with the dominant phenotype for the loci A, B, and C, but any genotype for the D and E loci? 3/4 = 0.75 1/4 = 0.25 9/64 = 0.141 1/64 = 0.0156 27/64 = 0.422arrow_forward
- Wild-type mice have brown fur and short tails. Loss of function of a particular gene produces white fur, while loss of function of another gene produces long tails, and loss of function at a third locus produces agitated behavior. Each of these loss of function alleles is recessive. If a wild-type mouse is crossed with a triple mutant, and their F1 progeny is test-crossed, the following recombination frequencies are observed among their progeny. Produce a genetic map for these loci. Brown, short tailed, normal: 955 White, short tailed, normal: 16 Brown, short tailed, agitated: 0 White, short tailed, agitated: 36 Brown, long tailed, normal: White, long tailed, normal: Brown, long tailed, agitated: 46 0 14 White, long tailed, agitated: 933arrow_forwardYou cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.)

- Cougar coat color and eye color are determined by two genes on the same chromosome, gene C and gene E. Gene C has two alleles: the dominant allele C produces wild type (tan) coats and the recessive allele c produces white coats. Gene E has two alleles: the dominant allele E produces wild type (brown eyes) and the recessive allele e confers blue eyes. To determine the recombination rate between these two loci you cross a wild-type cougar (CCEE) to a white-coated, blue-eyed cougar to produce a diheterozygous male cougar (CcEe). You then mate F1 male to a series of white-coated, blue-eyed female cougars to produce a panel of F2 offspring in the table below. What is the recombination rate between the two loci? Express your answer in map units, rounded to the nearest integer. phenotype number of F1 offspring tan coat, brown eyes 200 tan coat, blue eyes 50 white coat, blue eyes 201 white coat, brown eyes 55arrow_forwardA wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are wildtype, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49; black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for body color and eye color? Using information from problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes) would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wing size, and eye color genes on the chromosome?arrow_forwardA variety of opium poppy with lacerate leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All the F1 plants had lacerate leaves. Two F1 plants were then interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2 plants, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. What are the genotypes of the plants in the P (parental), F1, and F2 generations? How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? Note: You can use the symbols A and B to represent the two genes involved. (How do we know there are two?)arrow_forward
