Question
Chapter 5, Problem 41P
Summary Introduction
a.
To determine:
The relationship between the two loci and mating type locus..
Introduction:
A locus may be defined as the position of a gene on a chromosome. The loci help in gene mapping of an organism.
Summary Introduction
b.
To determine:
The reason that the given data cannot be used to calculate the centromere to gene distance.
Introduction:
Gene distance may be defined as the distance between the two genes present on the same chromosome. The linked genes are present on the same chromosome and may inherit together during the process of meiosis.

Two crosses were made in Neurospora involvingthe mating type locus and either the ad or p genes.In both cases, the mating type locus (A or a) was oneof the loci whose segregation was scored. One crosswas ad A × ad+ a (cross i), and the other was p A × p+ a(cross ii). From cross i, 10 parental ditype, 9 nonparental ditype, and 1 tetratype asci were seen.From cross ii, the results were 24 parental ditype,3 nonparental ditype, and 27 tetratype asci.a. What are the linkage relationships between themating type locus and the other two loci?b. Although these two crosses were performed inNeurospora, you cannot use the data given tocalculate centromere-to-gene distances for anyof these genes. Why not?
