Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The possible combinations that allow constructing the physical map with only a few numbers of clones using the given figure.
Introduction: Physical maps give the absolute distance among genetic markers. They use genetic markers, which can show any noticeable variations between individuals. Here, the distance is measured in basepairs (bp).
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The fewest number of clones that could be used to construct the physical maps is clone A and clone C. The combination of using clone A, clone B, and clone D also allows to construct physical maps. However, it is better to have all the four clones (A, B, C, and D) to verify.

Below are two pictures of perithecium on microscope slides that have been squished under cover slips so that the asci inside have spread
out. In the asci, we can clearly see the tan ascospores (light colored) and wildtype ascospores (dark colored). We will perform our tetrad
analysis by counting how many of the asci are non-recombinant and how many of the acsi are recombinant. We can tell which are
recombinant and non-recombinant by observing the patterns of the ascospores in the asci. See the patterns of ascospores for non-
recombinant and recombinant asci in the table below.

You will count the total number of non-recombinant and recombinant asci in the two pictures below. You will only count the asci that
have a star next to them because these asci can be clearly identified as non-recombinant or recombinant. Select the correct number
below after you are done.

A blood stain from a crime scene and blood samples from four suspects were analyzed by PCR using fluorescent primers associated with three STR loci: D3S1358, vWA, and FGA. The resulting electrophoretograms are shown below. The numbers beneath each peak identify the allele (upper box) and the height of the peak in relative fluorescence units (lower box). Solve, (a) Since everyone has two copies of each chromosome and therefore, two alleles of each gene, what accounts for the appearance ofonly one allele at some loci? (b) Which suspect is a possible source of the blood? (c) Could the suspect be identifi ed using just one of the three STR loci? (d) What can you conclude about the amount of DNA obtained from Suspect 1 compared to Suspect 4?

Use the information given and your burgeoning knowledge of gene mapping to answer the problems.arrow_forwardFour human pedigrees are shown in the accompanying illustration. The black symbols represent an abnormal phenotype inherited in a simple Mendelian manner.a. For each pedigree, state whether the abnormal condition is dominant or recessive. Try to state the logic behind your answer. b.

Certain individuals in this family are affected by a brain condition that makes them more susceptible to vertigo. As a genetic counselor, you interview the family and draw DNA samples. You discover that the condition is caused by a mutation that changes the sequence 5’GCATTC3’ to 5’GAATTC3’ introducing an EcoRI cut site. You decide to amplify a 1200bp fragment from the DNA that spans this mutation and then digest it with EcoRI. You run the results on a gel next to a marker that shows bands at 2000bp, 1200bp, 900bp, 800bp, and 400bp. Some individuals from the pedigree are identified on the gel.arrow_forward
