Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 20P
Experimental Insight 2.1 describes data, collected by a genetics class like yours, on the numbers of kernels of different colors in bicolor corn. To test the hypothesis that the presence of kernels of different colors in each ear is the result of the segregation of two alleles of a single gene, the class counted 12,356 kernels and found that 9304 were yellow and 3052 were white. Use chi-square analysis to evaluate the fit between the segregation hypothesis and the class results.

- Data set A summarizes F2 numbers from an F1 cross arising from two, true-breeding Drosophila strains (P generation), which differ with respect to two mutant traits. The traits of legs shows an autosomal incomplete dominance pattern and the traits for wings shows an X-linked regular dominance pattern. a) Produce a genetic hypothesis about the mode of inheritance of each of the alleles from your data set. You must come up with a hypothesis that both makes sense and will not be rejected, in other words, you need a hypothesis that will corroborate the experimental observations. b) Explain/describe how the data set seems to support your genetic hypothesis for each trait. For example, explain why you think a trait is recessive vs dominant or X-linked vs autosomal. To do this, you could comment on the observed ratios and/or differences or similarities in male and female numbers and explain how these provide support for your hypotheses. c) Assign genetic symbols to the four alleles involved.…arrow_forwardstion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently? Why or why not? the partial table of critical values for X2 calculations to test this hypothesis.arrow_forwardConsider the first category of test-cross offspring shown in figure 8.2 (+b, LS). Consider also that the parents of the heterozygous female flies in the test cross had the following genotypes: bb, SS, and +, LL. A. What would be the physical phenotype of these flies? B. If PC was conducted with the DNA of one of these flies using the primers for the molecular marker, what would be the appearance of the bands on an electrophoresis gel with the PC products? C. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?arrow_forward
- Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate. What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2? Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis. Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype. A-B- A-bb aaB- aabbarrow_forwardProblem) A university student is studying the inheritance of 2 genes of pea plants. Color of plant: Blue is dominant (B), and yellow is recessive (b) Spikes or no spikes: Having spikes is dominant (G), and having no spikes is recessive (g). Which of the following findings would indicate to the student that these two traits are located close together on the same chromosome? a) The traits show independent assortment b) All gametes of a double heterozygous individual (BbGg) are either BG or bg c) A double heterozygous individual has four types of gametes in approximately equal proportions: BG, Bg, bG, and bg d) Student finds that there is frequent crossing over between the 2lociarrow_forwardThe data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable. Make sure to double check the solution provided.arrow_forward
- In this program, you are provided with phenotype pair counts of F2 offspring at two research institutes. The key different between this work and previous work is that now we consider two genes instead of one. The phenotype pairs are the (shape, color) of peas from a pea plant. It turns out that there are two separate genes that code for these phenotypes. We shall call them Shape and Color. Gregor Mendel originally recorded these experiments in green peas. Using the notation: R = Round (dominant) allele at Shape gene; r = Wrinkled (recessive) allele at Shape gene; Y = Yellow (dominant) allele at Color gene; y = Green (recessive) allele at Color gene; then the shape and color of any pea can be determined by studying the genotypes at each gene. It turns out that, when one mates a plant that is homozygous for the dominant alleles (RRYY) with a plant that is homozygous for the recessive alleles (rryy), the F1 generation are heterozygous at both genes, as with a single gene disorder.…arrow_forward**GENETICS** why does the map distance calculated between 2 genes need to be adjusted using a mapping function if the calculated frequency is greater than .07 or 7 map units?arrow_forwardTrue-breeding diabetes-resistant male monkeys were bred to true-breeding wildtype female monkeys. All the F1 monkeys are phenotypically wildtype. The F1 monkeys are bred to each other, producing eight F2 babies. Only one of the eight F2 monkeys has the diabetes resistance. Is it possible for this condition to be controlled by a single autosomal gene? Use chi-square analysis to test the hypothesis, show your work, and explain your conclusion.arrow_forward

To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?arrow_forwardYou are mapping three linked loci in Drosophila melanogaster (the common laboratory fruit fly). You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance. You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results: 359 wild-type 361 apricot, bristle, clipped 89 bristle, clipped 91 apricot 42 apricot, bristle 38 clipped 9 apricot, clipped 11 bristle Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C). Then determine if each gamete is recombinant (R) or nonrecombinant (R) for each pair of alleles (that is, for each genetic interval). Complete the table by dragging the…arrow_forward
