You design Drosophila crosses to provide recombinationdata for gene a, which is located on the chromosome shownin Figure 15.12. Gene a has recombination frequencies of14% with the vestigial wing locus and 26% with the browneye locus. Approximately where is a located along thechromosome?
1. What is the processes of mitosis and meiosis indicating where the similarities lie and in which aspects they differ. What is the primary reason for each type of cell division by indicating the roles that mitosis and meiosis play in human reproduction and development?
2. Explain what is meant by the term ‘linked genes’ with respect to homologous recombination. For example, if an organism is heterozygous at two genetic loci on the same chromosome, in what way does the position of these alleles with respect to each other affect how they are transmitted to gametes during meiosis?
mapping three linked genes, the heterozygous AaBbCc was crossed to aabbcc individual the following phenotypes were obtained:
ABC 4
abc 2
ABc 150

- 1. In Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) experiment, if we are going to cross male and female red-eyed fruit flies, we have the resulting offspring ratio of 50% red-eyed for female, 25 % for red-eyed male and 25% for white-eyed male. Females which are either homozygous or heterozygous for a trait still expressed eye redness whereas males can easily be affected. Why is this so? a. Females are the carriers of a gene for eye redness b. Y chromosome is responsible for red eyes in fruit flies, c. The gene for eye redness is an X-link dominant trait, d. Having a red-eyed trait is dominantly expressed by femalesarrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION Crossing over is thought to beevolutionarily advantageous because it continually shufflesgenetic alleles into novel combinations. Until recently, it wasthought that the genes on the Y chromosome might degenerate because they lack homologous genes on the X chromosomewith which to pair up prior to crossing over. However, when theY chromosome was sequenced, eight large regions were foundto be internally homologous to each other, and quite a few ofthe 78 genes represent duplicates. (Y chromosome researcherDavid Page has called it a “hall of mirrors.”) Explain what mightbe a benefit of these regions.arrow_forwardConstruct a genetic map using the following data: A line of drosophila has been constructed with three recessive mutations: sc = loss of thorax bristles ("scute") ec = roughened eye surface ("echinus") vg = vestigial wings The dominant, wild-type version of each allele could be written as vg + or ec+, but we will write them just as "+" for simplicity. P generation: We cross homozygous recessive flies (sc ec vg / sc ec vg) with homozygous dominant (wild-type) flies (+ + + / + + +). F1 generation: All of the flies produced by the parental cross have the dominant (wild-type) phenotype. Genetically, these flies are: (sc ec vg / + + + ). F2 generation: We produce an F2 generation by mating the F1 flies with homozygous recessive flies (sc ec vg / sc ec vg) This cross produces an F2 generation with 8 different phenotypes: All wild type features – 430 echinus – 5 echinus, vestigial – 29 scute – 25 scute, echinus – 44 scute, echinus, and vestigial – 417 scute,…arrow_forward

You have recorded the following frequencies of recombination in offspring for each of the genes: Gene pair: Frequency of Recombination:a b 20 a c 28 a d 5 b c 10 b d 15 c d 24 1. What is the order of the genes on the chromosome? 2. Why is the distance between genes a and c as shown in the dataarrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forward

- CONNECT Two loci exhibit 5% recombination between them. How many map units apart are they?arrow_forward3. With modern molecular methods it is now possibleto examine variants in DNA sequence from a verysmall amount of tissue like a hair follicle or even asingle sperm. (See the Fast Forward Box Mappingthe Crossovers that Generate the Chromosomes ofIndividual Human Sperm.) You can consider thesevariants to be alleles of a particular site on a chromosome (a locus; loci in plural). For example,AAAAAAA, AAACAAA, AAAGAAA, andAAATAAA at the same location (call it B) on homologous autosomes in different sperm might becalled alleles 1, 2, 3, and 4 of locus B (B1, B2, etc.).John’s genotype for two loci B and D is B1B3andD1D3. John’s father was B1B2and D1D4, while hismother was B3B3and D2D3.a. What is (are) the genotype(s) of the parental typesperm John could produce?b.
