found? Enter a number.

- Drosophila geneticists made the first genetic maps. They claimed that the gene loci that they mapped “behaved mathematically as though they were in linear order” in the genetic material. They did not claim that these loci were actually physically located in a line along the chromosome. 1. Given what was known about chromosomes and the genetic material at that time, are these statements correct? Why or why not?arrow_forwardCreate a chromosome map each set of three genes from the given information. a) The crossover frequency between gene A and gene B is 23%, the crossover frequency between gene B and gene C is 11%, and between gene A and C is 12%arrow_forwardIn Drosophila (fruit flies), jammed wings (J), daughterless (da), curly wings (Cy), star eyes (S), and a black body (b) are determined by genes located on the same chromosome.

The lines represent the chromosomes themselves. The letters indicate the location of a particular version of a gene. a) T/F An individual’s offspring are more likely to inherit a D1 and R together than a D1 and T9 together. b) T/F About 50% of the egg cells from this individual will have both T9 and BA5. c) T/F Because r is recessive, the frequency at which the r version of the gene occurs in a population is lower than the frequency at which the R version occurs in the population. d) T/F If the protein produced by the BA gene is involved in the formation of ovaries, then the BA gene is likely located on a sex chromosome. e) T/F Because the genes shown here are found in skin cells, these genes code for proteins required for skin cell function.arrow_forward
