2. In panthers, black coat (g) is recessive to golden coat (G), pink eyes (b) is recessive to blue eyes (B), and short tail (l) is recessive to long tail (L). A female heterozygous for all three genes is test crossed to a homozygous recessive male and the following offspring were obtained: BGL 70 BgL 78 bGL 358 BGl 4 bgL 8 Bgl 344 bGl 70 bgl 68 a. How many genes are linked? b. Which groups are the parentals? c. What do the other groups represent? d. What is the correct gene order? e. What are the distances between all of the linked genes? f. What is the coefficient of coincidence? g. What is the interference value? What does it mean?

Expert Solution

Answer-

a) all three genes (B, G, L) are linked.

b) bGL (=358), Bgl (=344) are parental

c) BGL and bgl are single crossover products between b and g

BgL and bGl are single crossover products between g and l

bgL and BGl are double crossover products.

d) Correct gene order is BGL

e) map distance between b and g =15 mu; g and l = 16 mu

f) coefficient of coincidence (c) is 0.5

g) Interference is 0.5

The explanation is given below:

In Drosophila melanogaster, black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b+), purple eyes (pr) are recessive to red eyes (pr+), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive to normal wings (vg+). These three genes are linked with pr located between b and vg at a genetic distance of 6 cM from b and 13 cM from vg. Previous experiments have shown that the interference associated with these three genes is 0.5. A fly with a black body, purple eyes and...

In mice the allele for blue coat color (B) pink coat color (b). The allele for long tail (T) is dominant of the allele for short tail (t). 1) If alleles of the two genes Assort Independently, what types of gametes will BbTt mice produce? What is the expected frequency of each gamete among all gametes produced?

In guinea pigs, white coat (w) is recessive to black coat (W) and wavy hair (v) is recessive to straight hair (V). A breeder crosses a guinea pig that is homozygous for white coat and wavy hair with a guinea pig that is black with straight hair. The F1 are then crossed with guinea pigs having white coats and wavy hair in a series of testcrosses. The following progeny are produced from these testcrosses: black, straight 30 black, wavy 10...

The agouti locus in mice has three alleles: a is recessive and confers a black coat, A is dominant to a and confers an agouti coat, and AY is dominant to both and confers a yellow coat. AY is also a recessive lethal. In addition, the independently assorting c allele is recessive (to C) and prevents the mice from making any fur pigments at all, resulting in albinos. Two mice are crossed, and produce offspring in a ratio of 2...

In elephants, pink skin is due to the mutant allele g, which is recessive to the...

In elephants, pink skin is due to the mutant allele g, which is recessive to the wild-type allele G, which gives grey skin. The curly tail phenotype is due to the mutant allele t, which is recessive to the wild-type allele T, which gives a straight tail. The two genes are located close together on the same chromosome. An elephant that is heterozygous for both genes was crossed to a pink, curly tailed elephant, and the following progeny were observed:...

In horses, black coat (B) is dominant over brown coat (b), and being a trotter (T) is dominant over being a pacer (t). A heterozygous black coat, trotter male and a heterozygous black coat, trotter female are crossed. Complete the Punnett Square and determine the phenotypes of their potential offspring. Phenotypes: _________________________________________________ In pea plants, the gene for round seed (R) is dominant, and wrinkled seeds (r) are recessive. The endosperm of the pea is also either starchy, a dominant...

In rats, gene B produces black coat color if the genotype is B-, but black pigment is not produced if the genotype is bb. At an independent locus, gene D produces yellow pigment if the genotype is D-, but no pigment is produced when the genotype is dd. Production of both pigments results in brown coat color. If neither pigment is produced, coat color is cream. A third independently assorting gene involved in determination of coat color in rats is...

In rats, gene B produces black coat color if the genotype is B–, but black pigment is not produced if the genotype is bb. At an independent locus, gene D produces yellow pigment if the genotype is D–, but no pigment is produced when the genotype is dd. Production of both pigments results in brown coat color. If neither pigment is produced, coat color is cream. Determine the genotypes of parents of litters with the following phenotype distributions. Part A...

) In muskrats, short hair is recessive to long hair and brown coat is recessive to black coat. (Both are autosomal.) You cross a true-breeding short-haired black muskrat to a true-breeding long-haired brown muskrat. Let L= long and l= short, and let B= black and b= brown . A) Diagram this cross, showing the genotypes of the parents and the F1. B) Now you test cross the F1. Diagram this test cross, showing the genotypes of the F2 produced. C)...

In dogs, the allele for black coat color (B) is dominant to the allele for brown coat color (b). But if a dog has two copies of the recessive allele for a pigment-depositing gene (e), it can only have yellow coat color. In a cross of two doubly heterozygous black dogs (BbEe x BbEe), what fraction of the next generation would we expect to be yellow? WHY? a.1/8 b.1/4 c.2/3 d.3/16
