- Pedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?arrow_forwardThe table below shows the progeny of a test cross of a heterozygote (HhFfGg). Each row shows the number of progeny that inherited each combination of alleles from the heterozygous parent. You've already determined the gene order (G is in the middle) and labeled each type of progeny. Using this information, what is the recombination frequency between H and G?

The genes you are investigating are as follows: N = round leaves, n = notched leaves; H = smooth stems, h = hairy stems; R = purple flowers, r = red flowers; B = grey seeds, b = black seeds; and Y = green pods, y = yellow pods. Earlier experiments you have done already established that gene B is in the middle of this gene cluster, so you design both three-point test crosses to include that gene. Cross #1 is designed as RrHhBb x rrhhbb while cross #2 is NnBbYy x nnbbyy. The results of both crosses are given in the table below. Based on the information given, determine the arrangement of these five genes including the position of each allele in the heterozygous fly and the distances between each pair of genes. (Hint: treat each experiment separately, knowing that gene B is in the…arrow_forward
- You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 8.3 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 12.4 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are expected to have red flowers and fuzzy leaves. Round properly to 4 decimal digits. Answer:arrow_forwardThe picture shows a gel of PCR products for the loci SRY, AMELX/Y and ZFX/Y, for three controls and five test human individuals (1-5). Below the gel is the phenotypic sex of each individual, their fertility status, and the number of Barr bodies seen in the nucleus of a somatic cell in each case. The diagram to the right shows the positions of the tested loci on the human sex chromosomes, and also the positions of the PRKX and PRKYgenes.

- In corn (Zea mays), the wild type trait is for kernels to be round; some kernels are shrunken (S), which is caused by recessive, mutant alleles of various genes. You obtain five strains of corn with shrunken kernels, and conduct pairwise crosses between all five strains (1x1, 1x2, 1,3, etc). The results are summarized in the matrix below: if the offspring have the wild type trait, round, then they are represented with a "+"; if the offspring have the trait caused by recessive, mutant alleles, shrunken, they are marked with "S" 1 2 3 4 5 1 S 2 + S 3 + 4 5 + S S S S S S + + + S a. How many total genes are represented by these five strains? Explain your answer. b. Which of the five strains represent the same genes? (how can they be grouped, if at all). Explain your answer.arrow_forwardConsider the recombination frequencies data below from a series of two-point crosses that were carried out for genes found at seven loci (a, b, c, d, e, f, and g). Use this data to answer the following questions. The seven genes above are found on how many linkage groups?

The resulting progeny were allowed to mate with one another to produce the data set. Three repetitions of the experiment were conducted. The following data were produced from the crosses. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Use the 5% level of significance. Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject for each experiment.

- Consider the first category of test-cross offspring shown in figure 8.2 (+b, LS). Consider also that the parents of the heterozygous female flies in the test cross had the following genotypes: bb, SS, and +, LL. A. What would be the physical phenotype of these flies? B. If PCR was conducted with the DNA of one of these flies using the primers for the molecular marker, what would be the appearance of the bands on an electrophoresis gel with the PCR products? C. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?arrow_forwardDoes a molecular marker have to be polymorphic to be useful in physical mapping studies? Does a molecular marker have to be polymorphic to be useful in linkage mapping (i.e., involving family pedigree studies or genetic crosses)? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardCougar coat color and eye color are determined by two genes on the same chromosome, gene C and gene E. Gene C has two alleles: the dominant allele C produces wild type (tan) coats and the recessive allele c produces white coats. Gene E has two alleles: the dominant allele E produces wild type (brown eyes) and the recessive allele e confers blue eyes. To determine the recombination rate between these two loci you cross a wild-type cougar (CCEE) to a white-coated, blue-eyed cougar to produce a diheterozygous male cougar (CcEe). You then mate F1 male to a series of white-coated, blue-eyed female cougars to produce a panel of F2 offspring in the table below. What is the recombination rate between the two loci? Express your answer in map units, rounded to the nearest integer. phenotype number of F1 offspring tan coat, brown eyes 200 tan coat, blue eyes 50 white coat, blue eyes 201 white coat, brown eyes 55arrow_forward
