In corn the alleles C and c result in colored versus colorless seeds, Wx and wx in nonwaxy versus waxy endosperm, and Sh and sh in plump versus shrunken endosperm. When plants grown from seeds heterozygous for each of these pairs of alleles were crossed with plants from colorless, waxy, shrunken seeds, the resulting seeds were:

colorless, waxy, plump 2672

colored, waxy, plump 104

colorless, nonwaxy, plump 595

colored, nonwaxy, plump 11

colored, waxy, shrunken 580

colorless, nonwaxy, shrunken 121

colorless, waxy, shrunken 7

colored, nonwaxy, shrunken 2702

Total 6792

Determine the order of and distances between these genes. Also calculate the coefficient of coincidence (C) and the interference (I)

Expert Solution

Ans:

The genotypes which found most frequently are called parental genotypes. So, genotypes c Wx Sh and C wx sh are the parental genotypes. The genotypes which found less frequently is called double crossover phenotypes. So, genotypes C wx Sh and c Wx sh are the double crossover genotypes.

The order of three genes is c-sh-wx. The distance between gene c and sh is 3.58 map units (m.u.) and distance between gene sh and wx is 17.56 map units (m.u.).

The calculated coefficient of coincidence is 0.43

The calculated interference is 0.57

All the calculation are given below-

In corn, three dominant alleles, called A, C, and R, must be present to produce colored seeds. Plants that are “A-C-R-“ are colored; all others are colorless. A colored plant of unknown genotype is crossed with three tester plants of known genotype. With tester aaccRR, the colored plant produces 50% colored seeds. With aaCCrr, it produces 25% colored. With AAccrr, it produces 50 percent colored. What is the genotype of the colored plant?

In corn, the following allele pairs are on chromosome 9: colored (C) vs. white (c) aleurone color; starchy (Wx) vs. waxy (wx) endosperm; and full (Sh) vs. shrunken (sh) endosperm. F1 plants heterozygous for all three alleles were test crossed; the resulting progeny had the following phenotypic ratios: colored, waxy, shrunken 116 colored, starchy, full 601 colored, starchy, shrunken 2538 white, starchy, shrunken 4 white, starchy, full 113 white, waxy, full 2708 white, waxy, shrunken 626 colored, waxy, full _____2...

Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in corn fields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. The velvetleaf seed beetle feeds on the seeds and might be a natural weed control. Here are the total seeds, seeds infected by the beetle, and percent of seeds infected for 28 velvetleaf plants: Seeds Infected Percent 2450 135 5.7 2504 101 3.9 2114 76 3.7 1110 24 2.4 2137 121 5.8 8015...

. Let’s imagine that we are studying only one trait, that of green- or yellow-colored seeds. Mendel bred his peas until they either produced seeds of one color or the other. These purebred plants he called the p generation (“p” for parental generation). He then cross bred green plants with yellow ones and discovered that all the offspring were yellow-colored. Mendel called the offspring of the purebred plants the F1 generation. In your own words, explain why all the offspring...

1. Assume alleles of the height gene of corn plants determine the height of the plant's stalks, and that there are two alleles of the gene: "H1" and "H2." Individuals that are homozygous for the "H1" allele are 10 feet in height, individuals that are homozygous for the "H2" allele are 6 feet in height, and heterozygotes for these two alleles are 6 feet in height. From this data, it can be concluded that, with respect to the "H1" allele,...

Geneticists have identified a number of mutations of the Drosophila gene, Dorsal. Most mutant alleles result in dorsalized embryos, i.e. all tissues are dorsal. But one mutant allele is dominant to wild-type and results in ventralized embryos, i.e. all tissues are ventral. How can these results can be explained? Choose from answers below. 1. Mutant Dorsal cannot bind Spätzle. 2. Mutant Dorsal cannot bind Cactus. 3. The Dorsal gene is constitutively expressed in the mutant. 4. Mutant Dorsal cannot bind...
