The recessive traits in garden pea plants are as follows: yellow pods (g) are recessive to green pods (G); bluish-green seedlings (s) are recessive to green seedlings (S); creeper (p) (a plant that cannot stand up) is recessive to normal (P). A homozygous plant with green pods, green seedlings and normal stature was crossed to a creeper with yellow pods and bluish-green seedlings. The F1 plants were then crossed to creepers with yellow pods and bluish-green seedlings. The following results were obtained:
2059 green pods, green seedlings, normal
151 green pods, green seedlings, creeper
281 green pods, bluish-green seedlings, normal
15 green pods, bluish-green seedlings, creeper
2041 yellow pods, bluish-green seedlings, creeper
157 yellow pods, bluish-green seedlings, normal
282 yellow pods, green seedlings, creeper
11 yellow pods, green seedlings, normal
A. Complete a Punnett square representing the test cross discussed above
B. Determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the test-cross above.
C. Calculate the genetic distances among the three genes?
D. Construct the genetic map describing the map distances and the order of the genes.
E. Calculate the expected number of double cross-overs.
F. Calculate the coefficient of coincidence and provide an answer
G. Calculate the Interference. What does this number mean?
Ans)
B) expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio=1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
C)order of genes=sgp or pgs
genetic distance Between s and g gene=12cM
Genetic distance between g and p=6.7cM
Distance between s and p=18.7cM
Ansd)
Anse)expected double cross over freq=0.12x0.067=0.00804
Ansf) C=0.65
Ansg) I=0.35
Interference is less so more cross over.
Solution:
