Two crosses were made in Neurospora involvingthe mating type locus and either the ad or p genes.In both cases, the mating type locus (A or a) was oneof the loci whose segregation was scored. One crosswas ad A × ad+ a (cross i), and the other was p A × p+ a(cross ii). From cross i, 10 parental ditype, 9 nonparental ditype, and 1 tetratype asci were seen.From cross ii, the results were 24 parental ditype,3 nonparental ditype, and 27 tetratype asci.a. What are the linkage relationships between themating type locus and the other two loci?b. Although these two crosses were performed inNeurospora, you cannot use the data given tocalculate centromere-to-gene distances for anyof these genes. Why not?
A Neurospora colony at the edge of a plate seemed to be sparse (low density) in comparison with the other colonies on the plate. This colony was thought to be a possible mutant, and so it was removed and crossed with a wild type of the opposite mating type. From this cross, 100 ascospore progeny were obtained. None of the colonies from these ascospores was sparse, all appearing to be normal. What is the simplest explanation of this result? How would you test your explanation? (Note: Neurospora is haploid.)
In corn, a colored aleurone is due to the presence of an R allele; r/r is colorless. Another gene controls the color of the plant, with g/g being yellow and G_being green. A plant of unknown genotype is test-crossed, and the following progeny plants were obtained.
Colored green 89
Colored yellow 13
Colorless green 9
Colorless yellow 92

A.

B.
9.85%
C.

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.
