If AaBbCcDd is mated to AaBbCcDd (no gene interactions among
all genes), what is the probability that the offspring will have
either the phenotype aaB_CcDD or the genotype AAbbCcD_? (assuming
complete dominance for genes) (Show procedure, NO score for direct
result)
A mouse sperm of genotype a FGHY fertilizes an egg of genotype
a fghy. What are all the possibilities for the genotypes of (a) the
zygote and (b) a sperm or egg of the baby mouse that develops from
this fertilization? (Show procedure, NO score for direct
result)
What probability of offspring from cross (AaBbCc x AaBbcc) is
predicted to show the recessive phenotypes for two of the three
traits? (assuming complete dominance for genes) (use either
branched-line or Punnett square to explain; NO score for giving the
direct probability)
If the a and b loci are 20 cM apart and an AA BB individual and
an aa bb individual mate: What gametes will the F1 individuals
produce, and in what proportions? What phenotypic classes in what
proportions are expected in the F2 generation (assuming complete
dominance for both genes) (show procedure, NO score for direct
result)?
AABB and aabb individuals were crossed to each other, and the
F1 generation was backcrossed to the aabb parent. 993 AaBb, 995
aabb, 5 Aabb, and 7 aaBb offspring resulted.
How far apart are the a and b loci?
What progeny and in what frequencies would you expect to result
from testcrossing the F1 generation from a AAbb X aaBB crosss to
aabb?
In a typical meiosis, how many crossovers occur between genes A
and B?
Assume that the A and B loci are on the same chromosome, but
the offspring from the testcross described above were 494 AaBb, 506
aabb, 505Aabb, and 495 aaBb. How would your answer to part (c)
change.

consider two genes. Gene A is expressed in the liver and Gene B
in the heart. if you are looking at DNA frim the liver, explain how
gene A and gene B would be different at the chromatid level?Anwser

transferase and histone deacetyolase and Which Gene is active and
inactive
You are studying 2 genes in Drosophila Melanogaster (fruit
flies), Gene A and Gene B. Gene A and Gene B are located on
different chromosomes and therefore will undergo independent
assortment. Both genes have two different alleles, a dominant
allele and a recessive allele. For example: for Gene A there is a
dominant allele A and a recessive allele
a. Gene A determines body color and gene B
determines eye color. In terms of body color, some of your flies...
Coat color in rodents is known to be a trait resulting from gene
interactions (gene modifier effect). The two genes involved are A
and C. Allele C results in black pigmentation and is dominant to c
(albino). Allele A results in the agouti phenotype if the rodent
carries at least one dominant C allele. One albino rodent from
unknown genotype mates an agouti rodent that is known to be
homozygous dominant for both genes. The offspring resulting from
that mating...
If the interference value is 1, then what is the probability of
recombination between genes A and B if there is a recombination
between genes B and C, where the gene order is A-B-C, the
recombination fraction between A and B is 0.05, and recombination
fraction between B and C is 0.15?
A. 0
B. 0.20
C. 1
D. 0.15
E. 0.05
In C. elegans, lon-2 and unc-2 are
X-linked genes. A lon-2 male is mated to a homozygous unc-2
hermaphrodite. Individual wild-type hermaphrodite offspring were
then crossed to wild-type males. Among 359 male offspring from
these matings, 9 were wild-type for both traits. What is the
approximate map distance between lon-2 and
unc-2?
