Chapter 5, Problem 4P

Genes E and H are syntenic in an experimental organismwith the genotype EH/eh . Assume that during each meiosis, one crossover occurs between these genes. No homologous chromosomes escape crossover, and none undergodouble crossover. Are genes E and H genetically linked? Why or why not? What is the proportion of parental gametes produced by meiosis?

In Neurospora, his2 mutants require the amino acidhistidine for growth, and lys4 mutants require theamino acid lysine. The two genes are on the samearm of the same chromosome, in the ordercentromere - his2 - lys4.A his2 mutant is mated with a lys4 mutant. Draw all ofthe possible ordered asci that could result from meioses in which the following events occurred, accountingfor the nutritional requirements for each ascospore.Ascospores without any copy of a chromosome willabort and die, turning white in the process.a. A single crossover between the centromere and his2b. A single crossover between his2 and lys4c. Nondisjunction during the first meiotic divisiond. Nondisjunction during the second meiotic divisione. A single crossover between the centromere andhis2, followed by nondisjunction during the firstmeiotic divisionf. A single crossover between his2 and lys4,followed by nondisjunction during the firstmeiotic division
Female flies with white eyes and miniature wings (both X-linkedrecessive traits) were crossed to male flies with red eyes and longwings. On rare occasions, female offspring were produced withwhite eyes. If we assume these females are due to errors in meiosis, what would be the most likely chromosomal composition ofsuch flies? What would be their wing length?
For each of the following types of chromosomalaberrations, tell: (i) whether the chromosomes of anorganism heterozygous for the aberration will formany type of loop during prophase I of meiosis;(ii) whether a chromosomal bridge can be formedduring anaphase I in a heterozygote, and if so, underwhat conditions; (iii) whether an acentric fragmentcan be formed during anaphase I in a heterozygote,and if so, under what conditions; (iv) whether theaberration can suppress meiotic recombination; and(v) whether the two chromosomal breaks responsible for the aberration occur on the same side or on opposite sides of a single centromere, or if the two breaksoccur on different chromosomes.a. Reciprocal translocationb. Paracentric inversionc. Small tandem duplicationd. Robertsonian translocatione. Pericentric inversionf. Large deletion
