- Gene mapping using the Three-point Testcross a) Given the following alleles that control seed traits:W = wrinkled G = green R = roundw = smooth g = yellow r = oval b) Results of a cross with a triple heterozygote revealed the following phenotypes:30 smooth yellow round4 smooth green round958 wrinkled green round2 wrinkled yellow oval18 wrinkled yellow round946 smooth yellow oval16 smooth green oval26 wrinkled green oval c) Determine the order of the genes and the distance between them in centiMorgan (cM).Construct a gene map to show your results. TIP: Based on the phenotypes, determine the alleles in the gametesarrow_forwardselect whcih ic correct When 2 wildtype alleles are on the same parental chromosome, this is known as [Combined or Coupling or dispersed or heterozygous or Repulsion] . In sharp contrast [Combined or Coupling or dispersed or heterozygous or Repulsion] is when 1 wildtype allele and 1 mutant allele are on the same parental chromosomearrow_forwardBb Take Test: Mod 9 Lab - Genetic X + ← ] C G QUESTION 3 In the pedigree below, all shaded individuals express the gene in question. For example, Arlene "has" the trait, she displays the phenotype in question. For example, if we were following the inheritance pattern of a widow's peak, Arlene has a widow's peak (that is NOT the trait here, just an example). Unshaded individuals (blank circles and squares) do not manifest the trait in question, but their specific genotype is unknown - they could be heterozygous, homozygous dominant, or homozygous recessive.

Using the same information as for question #1, cross a heterozygous red-eyed female with a red-eyed male. a. What are the genotypes of each parent? ic b. What fraction of the children will have red eyes? c. What fraction of the children will have white eyes? Pra d. What fraction of the female children will carry the white eyed trait?arrow_forwardThis exercise primarily addresses o MLO 1: Correctly assign and interpret allele symbols according to the conventions of the fruit fly research community. o MLO 2: Correctly assign genotypes and phenotypes to parents and offspring in genetic crosses given a mode of inheritance. Autosomal Recessive Inheritance We learned in the Linkage Mapping lab module the conventions for representing alleles in fruit flies. Recall that we use one to three letters, and the case (upper or lower) is determined by whether the mutant allele is recessive or dominant. Additionally, we add a "+" as a superscript to indicate the wild-type ("normal") allele. For example, if a new mutant phenotype is recessive, we can represent the recessive allele as m. Then the wild-type allele is mt, and m+ > m. Based on the rule of dominance, we can predict phenotypes based on genotypes: mm Wild type Wild type Mutant m+m mmarrow_forwardActivity 4 Identification of phenotype of known genotype The characteristic of the color of the red tomato fruit (R) is dominant over the characteristic of the yellow color (r) The characteristic of the color of white flowers (W) is dominant over the characteristic of the color of the yellow flowers (w), and the characteristic length of the stem of the plant (T) is dominant over the short characteristic (t) If a red fruit plant with yellow and long-stemmed flowers is crossed, with anotheryellow, white-flowered and short-stemmed plant, knowing that the dominant characteristic is pure. What is the phenotype of individuals of the resulting generation?arrow_forward
- Activity E: Predicting the outcome of a dihybrid cross The resulting phenotypic ratios in the F₂ generation of a dihybrid cross (2 traits) can be quite different than those observed from a monohybrid cross, but the process is essentially the same. First, you list all possible gametes each parent and subsequent parents can produce. Second, you then assign the gametes to a Punnett square and fill it in. Finally, you count the progeny and determine the number of progeny in each phenotypic category. Remember, when determining the types of gametes possible, each gamete must have one member of each homologous pair of chromosomes. This means there needs to be one copy of every gene. For example, if you are considering a T gene (ability to taste PTC) and an F gene (let's say earwax texture- wet earwax is dominant and dry earwax is recessive), each gamete must have one allele for the T gene (either T or t) and one allele for the F gene (either For f).arrow_forwardTopic: Trihybrid Cross, Height in merigonias is determined by three unlinked genes that act additively. Each has two alleles, one compltely dominant allele(A,B or C) that makes plants taller and one recessive allele that makes plants shorter. Do the corss AaBbCc X AaBbCc. The F1 progenty: 27/64 will be as tall as the parents; 37/64 will be shorter than the parents. Pls explain it with more details. thanksarrow_forwardVISUALIZE Sketch a series of diagrams showing each of the following, making sure to end each series with haploid cells: (a)How a pair of alleles for a single locus segregate in meiosis (b)How the alleles of two unlinked loci assort independently in meiosis (c)How the alleles of two linked loci undergo genetic recombinationarrow_forward
- Genetics 181 Rule of Incomplete Dominance When two different pure-breeding strains are crossed, and their offspring show a blending of phenotypes, then neither allele is dominant. This is easily recognized when the phenotype is somewhere between two extremes. Counting the parents, there are three phenotypes (black, white, grey) being expressed in these flowers instead of only two, and that third phenotype is intermediate between the other two. This heterozygous condition is called incomplete dominance. 1. On the chart you did earlier, which of the three hair types (wavy, curly, or straight) represents incomplete dominance-the blended heterozygous condition? 2. You cross a herd of red cattle with white cattle and all of the calves appear to be roan (reddish white). Is this an example of incomplete dominance? How do you know? 3. You cross a blue flowering pea plant with a white flowering pea plant and all of the offspring are blue flowered. Is this an example of incomplete dominance? How…arrow_forwardTopic: Penetrance. Petal number is controlled by a single gene in merigonias. The gene has a completely dominant wild type allele F that makes a plant have five petals and a mutant recessive six petal allele(f). However the six petal trait is only 50% penetrant. You do the cross Ff x Ff. What fraction of the progeny do you have the 6 petals? what is the meaning for 50% penetrant.arrow_forwardTopic: Trihybrid Cross, Height in merigonias is determined by three unlinked genes that act additively.
