A cross between wild type soybean plants with pure breeding soybean plant having recessive phenotype gives the following gametes. The dominant traits are not showed in the table. Phenotype Number Pale 648 Pale, oval 64 Pale, short 10 Pale, oval, short 102 Oval 6 Oval, short 618 Short 84 Wild type 98 Total 1630 By using the above information, Predict alleles present on the homologous chromosome of the parental wild type soybean plant. Determine the recombinant frequency between the adjacent genes on the chromosome. Calculate the interference value for the given data. Introduction: The cross which involves the inheritance of three genes is called the trihybrid cross. According to the law of independent assortment, each allele separates from the other independently. Therefore, in trihybrid cross, there are different gametes produced, out of which two gametes are called parental gametes or non-recombinant and four are produced from single crossover and two produced from double crossover. The parental gametes are produced during meiosis and do not undergo crossing over. Therefore, they match the parental genotype. Hence the different arrangement of dominant and recessive allele occurs at the chromosome. Parental gametes are present at the homologous chromosome. Non-recombinant gametes account for high frequency than the recombinant gametes. The recombination frequency depends upon the distance between the two genes. The recombination frequency suggests that if the distance between two genes is more, then crossing over in the genes occurs at a high rate. If the linked gene has a high recombination frequency, then they are more distant from one another. The recombination frequency (r) of the syntenic gene is calculated by the formula- r= Number of recombinant Total number of progeny Interference (I) value is used to predict the double crossover (expected but not produced). Interference is given as, I = 1- c …where c is the coefficient of coincidence. If the I < 0, the condition is called negative interference, and if I = 0 , the expected and observed interference is the same.

Introduction:

The cross which involves the inheritance of three genes is called the trihybrid cross. According to the law of independent assortment, each allele separates from the other independently. Therefore, in trihybrid cross, there are different gametes produced, out of which two gametes are called parental gametes or non-recombinant and four are produced from single crossover and two produced from double crossover.

The parental gametes are produced during meiosis and do not undergo crossing over. Therefore, they match the parental genotype. Hence the different arrangement of dominant and recessive allele occurs at the chromosome. Parental gametes are present at the homologous chromosome.

Non-recombinant gametes account for high frequency than the recombinant gametes.

The recombination frequency depends upon the distance between the two genes. The recombination frequency suggests that if the distance between two genes is more, then crossing over in the genes occurs at a high rate. If the linked gene has a high recombination frequency, then they are more distant from one another.

The recombination frequency (r) of the syntenic gene is calculated by the formula-

r= Number of recombinantTotal number of progeny

Interference (I) value is used to predict the double crossover (expected but not produced). Interference is given as, I = 1- c …where c is the coefficient of coincidence.

If the I < 0, the condition is called negative interference, and if I = 0, the expected and observed interference is the same.

Kernel color in wheat is controlled by 2 pairs of genes (AABB). Determine the color of each offspring with the following genotypes: (Note: 4 alleles – red; 3 – medium red; 2 – intermediate red; 1 – light red; 0 – white).

. A corn geneticist has three pure lines of genotypes a/a ; B/B ; C/C, A/A ; b/b ; C/C, and A/A ; B/B ; c/c. All the phenotypes determined by a, b, and c will increase the market value of the corn; so, naturally, he wants to combine them all in one pure line of genotype a/a ; b/b ; c/c. a. Outline an effective crossing program that can be used to obtain the a/a ; b/b ; c/c pure line. b. At each stage, state exactly which phenotypes will be selected and give their expected frequencies. c. Is there more than one way to obtain the desired genotype? Which is the best way?Assume independent assortment of the three gene pairs. (Note: Corn will self or cross-pollinate easily.

A cross was performed using Drosophila melanogaster involving a female known to be heterozygous for both ebony body and sepia eyes and a male known to be homozygous for both of these recessive traits. The following data was produced from the cross. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Remember to use the 5% level of significance Wild eye Wild body – 102, Wild eye Ebony body – 94, Sepia eye Wild body – 100, Sepia eye Ebony body – 93. Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject.
