- Need help with the diagram The STR DNA marker DS11 is located on the p arm of the chromosome #8 in humans. Molecular analysis has shown that Charlie Chaplin is a heterozygote for the STR marker (genotype DS11A and DS11B) Using this knowledge, provide a diagram of meiosis showing only the movements of chromosome 8 (assume no nondisjunction). Throughout, indicate where the marker may be found (in other words, label the chromosome to show where the STR markers can be found. please only show the chromosomes at interphase, metaphase 1, end of meiosis 1, metaphase 2, and end of meiosis 2.arrow_forwardFill in the red numbers.arrow_forwardChanges in Chromosome Structure and Number 20. Six bands in a salivary gland chromosome of drosophila are shown here along with the extent of five deletions (Del 1 to Del 5):³ -1---2- -3------4- -6---- Del 1 Del 2 Del 3 Del 4 Del 5 Recessive alleles a, b, c, d, e, and fare known to be in this region, but their order is unknown. When wild-type individuals with the deletions are testcrossed to individuals recessive for all six genes, the following results are obtained (a minus sign indicates the wild-type allele is masking the expression of the recessive mutant allele, a plus sign indicates the recessive allele is being expressed). Use these data to infer which salivary band corresponds to each gene. b с + + + + Del 1 Del 2 Del 3 Del 4 Del 5 a + + + d + + earrow_forward

- Linkage Mapping Using Dihybrid Testcrosses in Fruit Flies In fruit flies, the normal honey-gray body-color (bl*) is dominant to black (bl), having normal red eyes (pu+) is dominant to purple (pu), and having normal wings (vg+) is dominant to vestigial (vg). The three genes are located close together on the same chromosome. Your task is to use data from three dihybrid testcrosses to (1) calculate recombination frequencies, (2) convert recombination frequencies into map distances, and (3) build a map of the chromosome interval covered by the three genes, indicating their order and distances between them. BLACK PURPLE DIHYBRID CROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/blt;put/pu+) with a pure-breeding black, purple male (bl/bl;pu/pu) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl;pu*/pu). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (bl+/bl;pu*/pu) with tester males, which are black, purple…arrow_forwardthe chromosomes of a yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti).
