6. Sequencing of the heterochromatic regions of the Drosophila genome indicates that within 20.7 Mb, there are 297
protein-coding genes. Given that the euchromatic regions of the genome contain 13,379 protein-coding genes in 116.8
Mb, what general conclusion about gene density is apparent?

Problem 1: 11.2 10.9 garnet eyes M A new gene is being investigated in fruit flies. The recessive allele of this gene (t) causes the flies' feet to grow tiny tapdance shoes, while the dominant allele (t*) permits wild-type feet to develop. Preliminary studies indicate that this new gene is located on the X-chromosome. You decided to perform a two-point testcross to determine its position relative to the well-established crossveinless wings gene (cv). You cross a female heterozygous for both genes with a testcross male fly and obtain the male offspring results shown in table 1, below. Using this information, answer the following questions: # male offspring 13 405 401 11 forked bristles a) is the original…arrow_forward6.5 Distinguish between cis and trans allele arrangements.arrow_forward1) Using the diagram below, sketch in the pattern of bands you would expect to see after digesting the DNA of the TT, Tt and tt genotypes of the TAS2R38 gene.

Phenotypically wild-type females with the genotype st ss et/st stt sste were crossed with triply recessive males. Predict the phenotypes of the progeny and the frequen- cies with which they will occur assuming (a) no interfer- ence and (b) complete interference.arrow_forward6.8 Define a map unit and explain why map units best reflect the real distances between two genes only when the genes are relatively close together.arrow_forward

The left side of each pair shows a wild-type larva, with gray boxes showing the sections that are missing in the mutant larva.

- 11. The discovery of chromosome banding in eukaryotes has greatly improved our ability to distinguish various cytogenetic events. Particularly useful are “banding" polymorphisms because the "morphs" can be used as chromosome markers. (These morphs are forms of chromosome that are cytologically distinguishable by virtue of minor variations in band size, position, etc). Let's consider chromosome 21 in humans. Assume that one set of parents are: 21°21 (female) x 21°21ª (male), where a, b, c and d represent "morphs" of a polymorphism for this chromosome. In each case: State the genetic term for the condition (if possible), diagram the event(s) that gave rise to the condition, and state in which individual the event(s) took place. d. 42A + 2121°21° + XX dad MII Interphase [show condensed]: Interphase [show condensed]: Diagram meiosis for After DNA replication: After DNA replication: chromosome 21 in Mom (left) and Dad (right) After Meiosis I: After Meiosis I: Gametes: Gametes: 21 21 21°arrow_forwardA pair of paralogous repeats, A and B, have 96% sequence similarity and therefore can promote non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). They exist in four possible arrangements in a genome, illustrated below as arrangements 1 – 4. What is the result of NAHR between repeats A and B in arrangement 1? A.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in monocentric chromosomes B.Deletion or duplication of the region between A and B C.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in acentric and dicentric chromosomes D.Inversion of the region between A and Barrow_forward
