Chapter 5, Problem 17P
Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The expected frequency for given gametes (a to d) by referring to a table.

Dihybrid genotype Recombination frequency Gamete genotype
DE/de 8% De
AD/ad 28% ad
DEF/def E – F 24% D – E 8% dEf
BdE/bDe B - D 18% D – E 8% Bde

Introduction:

Recombination frequency is a measure of genetic linkage. It is used in creating a genetic linkage map. Recombination frequency (r) can be defined as the rate of occurrence of recombination between a pair of linked gene.

It can be calculated using this formula –

  r = Total number of recombinant

       Total number of progeny

According to the given problem, 1 map unit corresponds to 1% recombination.

Frequency of specific gamete formation can be calculated from the map of linked genes.

An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Explain why the fertility of this individual is likely to be less than the fertility of an individual without a translocation.
Consider a maize plant: Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+ where cm is an unstable colorless allele caused by Ds insertion.  What phenotypic ratios would be produced and in what proportions when this plant is crossed with a mutant c/c Ac+/Ac+?  Assume that the Ac and c loci are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and the C allele encodes pigment production.
n corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of the corn plants (i.e the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male sterile lines sing the cardboard chips, simulate the crosses indicated below. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offsprings in each cross, and properly label the nucleus and the cytoplasm of each individual in the cross Legend male sterile cytoplasm Male fertile cytoplasm FF nucleus Ff nucleus ff nucleus A. Male sterile female x FF male Explain the phenotype of the offspring B. Male sterile female x Ff male Explain the phenotype of the offspring
