Chapter 7, Problem 19PDQ
A female of genotype
produces 100 meiotic tetrads. Of these, 68 show no crossover events. Of the remaining 32, 20 show a crossover between a and b, 10 show a crossover between b and c, and 2 show a double crossover between a and b and between b and c. Of the 400 gametes produced, how many of each of the eight different genotypes will be produced? Assuming the order a–b–c and the allele arrangement shown above, what is the map distance between these loci?

A female of genotype a b c + + + produces 100 meiotic tetrads. Of these, 68 show no crossover events. Of the remaining 32, 20 show a crossover between a and b, 10 show a crossover between b and c, and 2 show a double crossover between a and b and between b and c. Of the 400 gametes produced, how many of each of the 8 different genotypes will be produced? Assuming the order a–b–c and the allele arrangement previously shown, what is the map distance between these loci?
In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y
due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the
possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square
showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this
cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these.

You have determined that the gene order for three linked genes being studied is CBA. The number of recombinants resulting from crossover
between genes A and B alone totals 40 and 42, while the double-crossover progeny total 4 and 6. What is the recombination frequency between
genes A and B if the total number of progeny from the cross is 1000?

Any other combination of nuclear genotype and mitochondrial gene (including gene F for fertile) will result in a male fertile plant.

- Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 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 E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part F: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be A - bb if the genes are 30 mu apart?
