To determine: The evidence of crossing over in the genes if the genes are linked in the population.
Introduction. The law of independent assortment was given in a dihybrid cross which is the cross between the alleles of two pairs of contrasting characters. The alleles produced by each character are independent to combine with the alleles of the other character.

Introduction to Genetic Analysis
- In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Show all solutions and label solutions and final answers properly. a. What is the genotype of the F1? b. Derive the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and the proportion of each. c. What are the expected genotypic ratio, and phenotypic ratio of green to red if: i. the F1’s are intercrossed? ii. the F1’s are crossed with red plants? d. If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce?

- Bar (B) is a dominant sex-linked mutant of D. melanogaster. Held-out wings and ebony body are recessive, autosomal mutants on chromosome III, mapping 12 map units apart. A Bar-eyed, ebony-bodied male was crossed to a held-out female, and the resulting F1 progeny WERE INBRED to produce the F2. At what frequency do you expect wild-type flies from this cross? (Reminder: Crossing over does not occur in the male). Based on the information in Problem 3, how often would you get a bar ebony but not held-out progeny?arrow_forwardThis pedigree traces the inheritance of a rare disease in humans. a. Based on this pedigree, is the allele for this disease dominant or recessive? Explain. b. What genotypes are possible for the individuals labeled 1, 2, and 3?arrow_forwardFigure 5.1 presented abbreviated pedigrees looking at the inheritance of X-linked human conditions. El Figure 5.1a initiated with a male who was color blind and had hemophilia A. The grandsons and great-grandsons of this male were either color blind and had hemophilia A, or they had neither condition. a. Which if any individuals in the G Fig. 5.1a pedigree is a double heterozygote? b. Are any of the grandsons or great-grandsons shown in the pedigree the product of recombinant type gametes? c. Do the genes responsible for color blindness and hemophilia A segregate independently? d. If you examined many pedigrees, each starting with a man who was simultaneously color blind and had hemophilia A, do you think any grandsons or great-grandsons would ever have one condition but not the other? L Figure 5.1b initiated with a male who was color blind and had hemophilia B. The grandsons of this male were either only color blind, only had hemophilia B, had both conditions, or they had neither…arrow_forward
- Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB/ab) whose loci are linked and 10 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part D If the two genes are 15 mu apart and the plant is (Ab/aB), what proportion of gametes from a signal plant will be ab? Part E What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_B_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part F What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_bb if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part G What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aaB_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part H What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aabb if the genes are 15 mu apart?

- In com, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene (F_) restores fertility to male sterile lines. a. What are the crosses male sterile female x FF male? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross.

(Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring.
