Chlamydomonas, a eukaryotic green alga, may be sensitive to the antibiotic erythromycin, which inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. There are two mating types in this alga, mt+ and mt-. If an mt+ cell sensitive to the antibiotic is crossed with an mt- cell that is resistant, all progeny cells are sensitive. The reciprocal cross (mt+ resistant and mt- sensitive) yields all resistant progeny cells. Assuming that the mutation for resistance is in the chloroplast DNA, what can you conclude from the results of these crosses?
In rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.
In corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male-fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines.
Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross.

- Consider a maize plant: Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+ where cm is an unstable colorless allele caused by Ds insertion. What phenotypic ratios would be produced and in what proportions when this plant is crossed with a mutant c/c Ac+/Ac+? Assume that the Ac and c loci are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and the C allele encodes pigment production.arrow_forwardFor a haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is: Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme Ç Compound X It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different chromosomes. Compound Y Compound Z- Arginine A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e. meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain.

- In 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. Each of the F1 GGgg plants would obtain 12 gametes which are 2GG, 8Gg, and 2g. How were these obtained?arrow_forwardIn the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cMarrow_forwardMale Drosophila from a true-breeding wild-type stock were irradiated with X-rays and then mated with females from a true-breeding stock carrying the following recessive mutations on the X chromosome: yellow body (y), crossveinless wings (cv), cut wings (ct), singed bristles (sn), and miniature wings (m). These markers are known to map in the order: Recessive alleles: y, cv, ct, sn, m Dominant alleles: y+, cv+, ct+, sn+, m+ y-cv-ct-sn-m у CV ct sn m X-rays х х X ct sn CV у m y+ CV+ ct+ sn+ m+ х X ?

- In a wild-type fungus, protein E (encoded by the haplosufficient gene E) normally dimerizes to catalyzes a biochemical reaction necessary for the production of a dark pigment. Ed represents a mutant, dominant negative allele of gene E. What is the predicted phenotype of a fungus cell of genotype E*/Ed, and why? O wild type (normal production of the dark pigment), as E is haplosufficient mutant (no pigment production), as no dimers will form in the heterozygous mutant (no pigment production), as the mutant allele Eg is dominant O wild type (normal production of the dark pigment), as dimers of wild-type and mutant protein E will be formed in the heterozygousarrow_forwardConsider a Droscophilia fly with a genotype of Nn XqYY.

The recessive autosomal allele specifies hairy bristles while the dominant allele specifies smooth bristles. i)What is the ploidy of this fly? ii) What would the sex of this fly be? iii)What would the phenotype of this fly be with respect to these two loci?arrow_forwardL, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the genes on the chromosome? D-R: 35 CM P-D: 5 CM L-R: 10 CM D-P: 30 CM D-L 25 CM P-R: 40 CM Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing your gene order to the possible answer choices.

- Wild-type mice have brown fur and short tails. Loss of function of a particular gene produces white fur, while loss of function of another gene produces long tails, and loss of function at a third locus produces agitated behavior. Each of these loss of function alleles is recessive. If a wild-type mouse is crossed with a triple mutant, and their F1 progeny is test-crossed, the following recombination frequencies are observed among their progeny. Produce a genetic map for these loci. Brown, short tailed, normal: 955 White, short tailed, normal: 16 Brown, short tailed, agitated: 0 White, short tailed, agitated: 36 Brown, long tailed, normal: White, long tailed, normal: Brown, long tailed, agitated: 46 0 14 White, long tailed, agitated: 933arrow_forwardIn corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements.
