Chapter 21.2, Problem 7SAQ
Summary Introduction
A species indicates a closed gene pool, in which various alleles are shared only among the members of that species. The factors that are responsible for causing reproductive isolation are normally differentiated into two categories. They are post-zygotic isolating factors and pre-zygotic isolating factors, and this categorization is based on when they act.

- Two morphotypes of the newly discovered plant in Mt. Banahaw de Lucban were tested for linkage of three genes such as the presence of tendril (t+), dense trichomes (d+), and the presence of secretory cells (sc+). The loci for the mutant genes have been mapped and are separated by the following map distances: t and d = 20CM; d and sc = 12CM. The interference between these genes is 0.4. The first morphotype is located at the lower elevation and is characterized by the absence of tendril, sparse trichome, and absence of secretory cells. On the other hand, the second morphotype is located at the higher elevation and is characterized by the presence of tendril, dense trichome, and presence of secretory cells. Further genetic analysis showed that the morphotypes were true breeding. The two morphotypes were intercrossed and the resulting F1 is testcrossed with the first morphotype. The cross resulted in 1800 progeny.

- To understand the genetic basis of locomotion in the diploid nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, recessive mutations were obtained, all making the worm “wiggle” ineffectually instead of moving with its usual smooth gliding motion. These mutations presumably affect the nervous or muscle systems. Twelve homozygous mutants were intercrossed, and the F1 hybrids were examined to see if they wiggled. The results were as follows, where a plus sign means that the F1 hybrid was wild type (gliding) and “w” means that the hybrid wiggled.a. Explain what this experiment was designed to test. b. Use this reasoning to assign genotypes to all 12 mutants. c. Explain why the phenotype of the F1 hybrids between mutants 1 and 2 differed from that of the hybrids between mutants 1 and 5arrow_forwardOne particularly useful feature of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is that it allows us to estimate the frequency of heterozygotes for recessive genetic diseases, assuming that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exists. As an example, let’s consider cystic fibrosis, which is a human genetic disease involving a gene that encodes a chloride transporter. Persons with this disorder have an irregularity in salt and water balance. One of the symptoms is thick mucus in the lungs that can contribute to repeated lung infections. In populations of Northern European descent, the frequency of affected individuals is approximately 1 in 2500. Because this is a recessive disorder, affected individuals are homozygotes. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of individuals who are heterozygous carriers?arrow_forwardWhat is the most convenient way of understanding a testcross problem in genetics?arrow_forward
