Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2PDQ
Review the Chapter Concepts list on page 120. Most of these center on the process of crossing over between linked genes. Write a short essay that discusses how crossing over can be detected and how the resultant data provide the basis of chromosome mapping.

Referring to Figure 17-19, draw a diagram showing the process whereby an inversion formed from crossing over could generate a normal sequence.
In a mutant screen in Drosophila, you identified a gene related to memory, as evidenced by the inability of recessive homozygotes to learn to associate a particular scent with the availability of food. Given another line of flies with an autosomal mutation that produces orange eyes, design a series of crosses to determine the map distance between these two loci. You do not need to calculate recombination frequency.
What is FISH?
Briefly describe how it works
How is FISH used to characterize chromosomal translocations associated with certain genetic disorders and specific types of cancers?

- Does the mechanism of recombination of unlinked genes require crossing-over? Explain your answer.arrow_forward. With regards to the grasshopper testes experiment, diakinesis is an ideal stage to determine chromosome number due to the degree of condensation of the chromosomes? Count the chromosomes at this stage. Does it represent a diploid or a haploid number?arrow_forwardYou design Drosophila crosses to provide recombinationdata for gene a, which is located on the chromosome shownin Figure 15.12. Gene a has recombination frequencies of14% with the vestigial wing locus and 26% with the browneye locus. Approximately where is a located along thechromosome?arrow_forward
- An initial crossover event will occur between A and B, as indicated in the corresponding image. After this initial event occurs, a second cross over event occurs (not illustrated) involving the products of the first crossover event.
