An aberrant corn plant gives the following RF values when testcrossed: (The locus order is centromere-d–f–b–x–y–p.) The aberrant plant is a healthy plant, but it produces far fewer normal ovules and pollen than does the control plant. a. Propose a hypothesis to account for the abnormal recombination values and the reduced fertility in the aberrant plant. b. Use diagrams to explain the origin of the recombinants according to your hypothesis.
In an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of the haploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowly but eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNA fractions that are of different sizes and hence have moved at different speeds. These bands are presumed to be the seven chromosomes. How would you show which band corresponds to which chromosome?
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.

- Consider the first category of test-cross offspring shown in figure 8.2 (+b, LS). Consider also that the parents of the heterozygous female flies in the test cross had the following genotypes: bb, SS, and +, LL. A. What would be the physical phenotype of these flies? B. If PC was conducted with the DNA of one of these flies using the primers for the molecular marker, what would be the appearance of the bands on an electrophoresis gel with the PC products? C. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?arrow_forwardFirst used in Drosophila, recombination frequencies can help map relative positions of genes along chromosomes. The greater the distance between two loci on a single chromosome, the greater the chance that they will be separated by a crossing-over event during meiosis I. If two genes are recombined in x% of gametes, they are separated by a genetic map distance of xmap units. In humans, such mapping located disease-causing mutations near single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS). Recombination frequencies among six Drosophila chromosome genes (yellow-body (yb), white-eye (we), singed-bristle (sb), miniature wings (mw), round eyes (re), and hairy body (hb) are given in the table below. Using this information, place the genes in the correct relative order along the chromosome. Genes we and yb have been filled in to get you started. we yb sb mw re hb we 1.4 19.6 34.7 6.1 12.3 yb 1.4 21 36.1 7.5 13.7 sb 19.6 21 15.1 13.5 7.3 mw 34.7 36.1 15.1 28.6 22.4 re 6.1 7.5 13.5 28.6 6.2 hb 12.3 13.7 7.3…arrow_forwardIs )Given the experimental set up below, and knowing the genes for stalked eyes (st) and black bodies (b) are on the same chromosome and recessive to wild type (un-stalked eyes and light body), answer the questions below the diagram. 1. st st F1 F2 A = 489 B = 56 C= 497 D= 49 A) ) How many recombinant animals are in the F2 generation?
