Drosophila females heterozygous for three recessive mutations, a, b, and c were crossed to males homozygous for all three mutations. The cross yielded the following results.

Phenotype Number

A B C - 75

A B c - 348

A b c - 96

a B C - 110

a b C - 306

a b c - 65

Determine the gene order.

Determine the distance between genes .

Make a genetic map of the genes.

Solutions

Expert Solution

If the genes are linked then we can find 8 phenotypic categories, out of 8 only six categories are observed which means that there was no DCO categroies hence the DCO categories are marked as zero and calcuated the rest.

Find the below solution for answer and explanation.

A Drosophila female homozygous mutant for two recessive genes (a and b) is crossed to a wild-type male. The F1 are all wild-type.

Black body (b) and purple eye (pr) are recessive autosomal mutations in Drosophila. Bridges crossed b/b females and pr/pr males. F2 cross produced 684 wild-type, 371 black-bodied, and 300 purple-eyes flies. Do these result indicate that the b and pr genes are closely linked? Explain.

Two pea plants are crossed. One is homozygous for white flowers and the other is heterozygous for purple flowers. Both are heterozygous for being tall plants. In pea plants, tall is dominant to short, and purple flowers are dominant to white. Fill out the table below for the probability of each possible phenotype. Report probability as a decimal rounded to four places (e.g. 0.1250, not 1/8 or 12.5%). Phenotype Probability tall purple __________ short purple __________ tall white __________ short...
