Question

tons 14 and 15 reter to the folloing: nDrosophila, fomales heterozygous for the recessive alleles a and were crossed to males homozygous recessive for these tnre mutant genes. The phenot ypes of the resulting progeny were: 324 b e 26 26 ab+ 146 146 dobe arc Total progeny 1000 14. How were the three pairs of alleles arranged in the heterozygotes females? a) +b+b) abe (c) d) ab+ atc 15. What is the order of the genes? In this question, the order used in the above data may be incorrect. a )sacb b) abc c) bac

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

14) c). +bc/a++

15). a). acb

Explanation:

Hint: Always recombinant genotypes are smaller than the non-recombinant genotypes.

Hence, the parental (non-recombinant) genotypes is +bc/a++

1).

If single crossover occurs between a&b…

Normal combination: +b/a+

After crossover: ++/ab

++ progeny= 26+146=172

ab progeny = 26+146=172

Total this progeny = 344

The recombination frequency between a&b = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (344/1000)100 = 34.4%

2).

If single crossover occurs between b & c..

Normal combination: bc/++

After crossover: b+/+c

b+ progeny= 146+4=150

+c progeny = 146+4=150

Total this progeny = 300

The recombination frequency between b&c = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (300/1000)100 = 30%

3).

If single crossover occurs between a & c..

Normal combination: +c/a+

After crossover: ++/ac

++ progeny= 26+4=30

ac progeny = 4+26=30

Total this progeny = 60

The recombination frequency between a&c = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (60/1000)100 = 6%

Recombination frequency (%) = Distance between the genes (cM)

a----------6cM--------c-----------30cM--------------b

16). a). 30

17). d). 10

Explanation:

Hint: Always recombinant genotypes are smaller than the non-recombinant genotypes.

Hence, the parental (non-recombinant) genotypes is mqz/+++

1).

If single crossover occurs between m&q…

Normal combination: mq/++

After crossover: m+/+q

m+ progeny= 39+9=48

+q progeny = 41+11=52

Total this progeny = 100

The recombination frequency between m&q = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (100/1000)100 = 10%

2).

If single crossover occurs between q & z..

Normal combination: qz/++

After crossover: q+/+z

q+ progeny= 142+11=153

+z progeny = 138+9=147

Total this progeny = 300

The recombination frequency between q&z = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (300/1000)100 = 30%

3).

If single crossover occurs between m &z..

Normal combination: mz/++

After crossover: m+/+z

m+ progeny= 142+39=181

+z progeny = 138+41=179

Total this progeny = 360

The recombination frequency between m&z = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (360/1000)100 = 36%

Recombination frequency (%) = Distance between the genes (cM)

m----------10cM--------q-----------30cM--------------z

18). e). Proline

19). a). diploid
