Two different enzymes both catalyze the same biochemical reaction– the conversion of precursor molecule x into pigment molecule y. Each enzyme is the gene product of a different locus. In cells with both enzymes, the flowers are red. In cells with only one of the two enzymes, the flowers are pink. In cells with neither of the two enzymes, the flowers are white. A geneticist selfs a dihybrid and counts 32 progeny. What is the expected number of progeny that will have red flowers?

Two different strains of Drosophila, strain A and strain B, each has a recessive mutation that results in abnormally bright red eye color. (Wild type flies have brownish red eye color). When a homozygous strain A fly is crossed with a homozygous B fly, all of the progeny have the dominant wild type eye color. The wild type-eyed progeny were allowed to breed among themselves to produce the F2 generation. The F2 generation consisted of 92 wild type and 74 bright red-eyed flies. Write the genotype(s) of the flies in each generation. Use a low dash (e.g. A_ B_) to indicate genotypes that could be either homozygous or heterozygous) a) parental strain A b) parental strain B c) wild type progeny (F1) d) wild type F2 e) bright-eyed F2
Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
Part A: If the two genes are 30 mu apart and the plant is (AB/ab), what proportion of gametes from a single plant will be AB? Enter your answer as a decimal to three places (for example: 0.120). Part B: If the two genes are 30 mu apart and the plant is (AB/ab), what proportion of gametes from a single plant will be Ab? Part C: If the two genes are 30 mu apart and the plant is (AB/ab), what proportion of gametes from a single plant will be aB? Part D: If the two genes are 30 mu apart and the plant is (AB/ab), what proportion of gametes from a signal plant will be ab?
A genetic cross was made between two types of pea plants. One type produces round and green seeds, while the other type produces wrinkled and yellow seeds. A plant breeder crossed these two types and then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained: F1 generation: all produce wrinkled and yellow seeds. F2 generation: 157 produce wrinkled and yellow seeds 57 produce wrinkled and green seeds 54 produce round and yellow seeds 20 produce round and green seeds a) Propose a hypothesis that you think is consistent with the observed data. b) Test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesis using a chi square test. c) Explain what your calculated chi square results mean.
In some plants a red flower pigment, cyanidin, is synthesized from a colorless precursor. The addition of a hydroxyl group (OH-) to the cyanidin molecule causes it to become purple. In a cross between two randomly selected purple varieties, the following results were obtained: 94 purple 31 red 43 white How many genes are involved in the determination of these flower colors? Which genotypic combinations produce which phenotypes? Diagram the purple * purple cross.
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
In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pphomozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select two statements below that are TRUE. options: The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 cM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 cM. The homologs in the plant with…
The genetic map was based on crosses in Drosophila involving the three sex-linked genes a, b and c. “a” gives red eyes, “b” gives normal wings and “c” gives black body. 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. Could you draw a basic genetic map based on distance between these genes using dots to show distance(s)? Could you make one fundamental comment using these distances based on genetic linkage?
A cross was made between a Red and Long flowered (RRLL) plant and a blue and dwarf flowered (rrll) plant. The resulting F1 plants were testcrossed to blue and dwarf plants. 140 red and long 28 red and dwarf 32 blue and long 145 blue and dwarf After showing your Punnett square for the testcross, use the Chi Square test to determine if the genes are assorting independently. If they are linked, calculate the distance between the two genes. Show your work.
In a certain species of plant, a dihybrid (round, pink seeds) is mated with a test-cross strain (wrinkled, white seeds). The following progeny are obtained: round, pink – 440 round, white – 76 wrinkled, pink - 84 wrinkled, white - 400 What is the distance (in map units) between the two genes in question? Your answer should be a single whole number between 0 and 50. Choose 50 if you think the genes are not linked.
Three enzymes are part of a sequential pathway that produces a pigment that makes flowers red. Each enzyme is the gene product of a different locus. If a trihybrid, heterozygous (+/-) for each of the three loci, is selfed, what fraction of the offspring will not be able to produce the red pigment (and will thus have white flowers)? Express your answer as a number between 0 and 1, rounding to 2 decimal places. For example, if you think 1/4 of the offspring will have white flowers, then answer 0.25
In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Show all solutions and label solutions and final answers properly. a. What is the genotype of the F1? b. Derive the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and the proportion of each. c. What are the expected genotypic ratio, and phenotypic ratio of green to red if: i. the F1’s are intercrossed? ii. the F1’s are crossed with red plants? d. If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce?
