Chapter 5, Problem 20P
From a series of two-point crosses, the following map distances were obtained for the syntenic genes A, B, C, and D in peas:
B ↔ C 23 m.u.
A ↔ C 15 m.u.
C ↔
D 14 m.u.
A ↔ B 12 m.u.
B ↔ D 11 m.u.
A ↔ D 1 m.u.
Chi-square analysis cannot reject the null hypothesis of no linkage for gene E with any of the other four genes.
| a. | Draw a cross scheme that would allow you to determine the B↔C map distance. |
| b. | Diagram the best genetic map that can be assembled from this data set. |
| c. | Explain any inconsistencies or unknown features in your map. |
| d. | What additional experiments would allow you to resolve these inconsistencies or ambiguities? |

A purple snow pea plant known to be hybrid for three linked genes (a, b, and d) is testcrossed. The progeny phenotypes and frequencies are:
+a+ 86
b+d 56
+ad 78
b++ 49
+++ 12

a) Draw the chromosomes of the trihybrid and tester lined mentioned above.
b) Give a map of the gene order with distance.
In fruit flies, you are mapping three genes in a three point cross. The mutants are hairy
body (h), sepia colored eyes (se) and female sterility (g). You cross a heterozygous parent
with a homozygous recessive parent and obtain the following results:

Two groups of geneticists, in California and in Chile, begin work to develop a linkage map of the medfly. They both independently find that the loci for body color (B = black, b = gray) and eye shape (R = round, r = star) are linked 28 m.u. apart. They send strains to each other and perform crosses; a summary of all their findings is shown here:a. Provide a genetic hypothesis that explains the three sets of testcross results. b. Draw the key chromosomal features of meiosis in the F1 from a cross of the Californian and Chilean lines.

- The genetic map was based on crosses in Drosophila involving the three sex-linked genes a, b and c. “a” gives red eyes, “b” gives normal wings and “c” gives black body. The recombination frequencies between these genes are as follows; a and b is 23.8, b and c is 2.6 and a and c is 28.1, respectively.
