Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these locilinked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
Homozygous wild-type male mice (AA BB CC) were crossed with triplemutant female mice (aa bb cc), forming an F1 generation with the followinggenotype (Aa Bb Cc).

Three autosomal recessive mutations in yeast, all producing the same phenotype (m1, m2, and m3), are subjected to complementation analysis. Of the results shown below, which, if any, are alleles of one another? Predict the results of the cross that is not shown—that is, m2 * m3. Cross 1: m1 * m24 F1: all wild-type progeny Cross 2: m1 * m34 F1: all mutant progeny

The A locus and the D locus are so tightly linked that norecombination is ever observed between them. If Ad/Ad is crossed with aD/aD and the F1 is intercrossed,what phenotypes will be seen in the F2 and in whatproportions?
In a fungus with four ascospores, a mutant allele lys-5causes the ascospores bearing that allele to be white,whereas the wild-type allele lys-5+ results in black ascospores. (Ascospores are the spores that constitute thefour products of meiosis.) Draw an ascus from each ofthe following crosses:a. lys-5 × lys-5+b. lys-5 × lys-5c. lys-5+ × lys-5+
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?
The following is a linkage map of chromosome 5 for three genes in tomato: (see image) The cross between the triple heterozygote (Lf J W/ lf j w) and a triple homozygous recessive produced 500 progeny. Assume that there is no interference in the Lf-W region. Give the expected number of individuals for each of the following progeny types and show complete solutions.a. with crossover in the Lf-J and J-W regionsb. with crossover in the Lf-J regionc. with crossover in the J-W regiond. without crossover in the Lf-W region
The alleles his-5 and lys-1, found in yeast, result in cells that require histidine and lysine for growth, respectively. A cross was made between two haploid yeast strains that are his-5 lys-1 and his+ lys+. 973 tetrads were analyzed, with the following pattern: 7 tetrads with 2 his-5 lys+ spores and 2 his+ lys-1 spores 603 tetrads with 2 his-5 lys-1 spores and 2 his+ lys+ spores 363 tetrads with 1 his-5 lys-1 spore, 1 his-5 lys+ spore, 1 his+ lys-1 spores, and 1 his+ lys+ spore Compute the map distance between these two genes using the method that considered double crossovers and the one that does not. Show your work. Which give the higher value? Why? What is the frequency of single crossovers between these genes? Explain. Based on the frequency of single-crossovers, how many double crossovers would one expect? Is positive interference occurring?
