- 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 loci linked? 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?arrow_forwardHemophilia 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?arrow_forwardIn a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Mm Rr Ss is test crossed to a pure breeding recessive plant with the genotype mm rr ss. The offspring genotypes are as follows: Genotype Number Mm Rr Ss 687 Mm Rr ss 5 Mm rr Ss 68 Mm rr ss 196 mm Rr Ss 185 mm Rr ss 72 mm rr Ss 8 mm rr ss 679 Total 1900 1. What is the interference value for this data set?arrow_forward

What is the gene order of these linked genes?arrow_forwardTwo true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. How many genes and how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant?arrow_forwardCross Cross A Cross A Cross B Cross B Phenotype F1 generation F2 generation F1 generation F2 generation Male red eyes 132 150 0 99 Female red eyes 135 295 110 101 Male white eyes 0 147 105 93 Female white eyes 0 0 0 95 Using “+” to indicate the wildtype red-eyed allele and “w” to indicate the mutant white-eyed allele, state the genotypes of the following: Wildtype red-eyed and white-eyed parental flies from cross A and cross B.
