You are studying recessive mutations of three autosomal, linked genes in guinea pigs: fur color (y, yellow); fur texture (wv, wavy); ear size (l, large). The data in columns A and B was obtained from crosses of heterozygous F1 females with homozygous testcross males (recessive for all three traits).

Column: A B C D E

F2 Phenotype	# Observed	Corresponding Genotype	P or SCO or DCO	Genotype Written in Correct Order on Homologs
yellow	310	*ywv⁺l⁺*	P
wildtype	32
yellow, wavy	150
wavy, large	320
wavy	16
large	120
yellow, large	14
yellow, wavy, large	38
Total	1000

a) How many sets of reciprocal phenotypes are shown? ____________________

b) In Column C, list the corresponding genotype. Account for all three traits. The first one has been provided for you as an example. For all answers in column C, use the order of traits: fur color, fur texture, ear size.

c) Indicate the type of each homolog in Column D: parental P, single crossover SCO, or double crossover DCO. The first one has been provided for you as an example.

d) On this form below or on blank paper to be submitted with this form, determine the correct order of all three genes. All work must be shown for credit. Fill in Column E above.

Expert Solution

E- The distance between yellow and large

If we want to find the distance between the y and l then we need to find out the crossover frequency and divide it by the total number of progeny

y+ l+ wv+ 32

y l wv 38

y+ l+ wv 16

y l wv+ 14

Linkage distance = total number of recombinant * 100 / total number of progeny

100 * 100/ 1000

= 10

So, map distance between yellow and large is 10 map units or 10cM

The distance between yellow and wavy.

If we want to find the distance between the wv and l then we need to find out the crossover frequency and divide it by the total number of progeny

y+ l+ wv 16

y l wv+ 14

y l+ wv 150

y+ l wv+ 120

Linkage distance = total number of recombinant * 100 / total number of progeny

300*100/ 1000

= 30

So, map distance between wv and l is 30 map units or 30cM

You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 11.3 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 10.7 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are...

Scalloped (sd) wing is an X-linked recessive and ebony (e) body color is an autosomal recessive mutation in Drosophila. What proportion of scalloped, ebony colored females is expected in the F2 starting with a true breeding scalloped female which is wild type for ebony mating with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony. a. 1/16 b. 3/16 c. 0 d. 1/8 e. 1/32

In the common bluebell, two linked, autosomal genes control flower color and plant height. With the given information, find the expected F1 generation phenotypes and the frequencies of the F1 generation. B (blue flowers) is dominant to b (white flowers) T (tall plants) is dominant to t (dwarf plants) If the crossover frequency between the two loci is 26%, what will the expected F1 phenotypes and their frequencies from the following cross: a) BT//bt x bt//bt b) Bt//bT x bt//bt...

You are studying mice and two genes that control fur and whisker length. Brown fur is dominant to grey fur (use B or b for alleles) and long fur is dominant to short fur (use F or f for alleles). You are crossing mice that are heterozygous for both genes. What are the gametes that each mice can produce and what are the genotype and phenotype ratios for the offspring?

in badgers, fur color is inherited through simple autosomal inheritance, and black fur is dominant to white fur. A black badger is crossed with a white badger. In a cete of four kits, all of the kits are black. You have asked to draw a conclusion about the black badger. What is the best conclusion you can draw from this data? a. The black badger is definitely homozygous. b. the black badger is probably homozygous. c. the black badger is...

Three recessive genes in dogs are linked on a chromosome. A dog heterozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with homozygous for all the recessive alleles in a three-point testcross. (a) Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome and (b) calculate the map distances between the genes. The progeny of the testcross are: r T W 324 R t w 319 R t W 880 r T w 887 R T W 2376 r t w 2365 r t W 47 R T w 41 Total 7,239

Yellow coat color in guinea pigs is produced by the homozygous genotype, YY, and white is produced by the homozygous genotype, yy. One homozygous yellow guinea pig crosses with a homozygous white guinea pig to produce cream guinea pigs. a. What pattern of inheritance does this follow (complete, incomplete or co-dominance)? How do you know? b. Draw a Punnett square for a cross between two cream guinea pigs. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios?

Drosophila has three linked autosomal genes that determine different traits. These genes are black (b), vestigial (vg), and singed(sn). Each of the three genes has two alleles: a dominant wild type allele, indicated by a "+" (plus) and a recessive mutant allele indicated by a "-" (minus). (These mutant alleles cause dark black spots, short "vestigial" wings, and bent "singed" hairs, respectively, when homozygous). A testcross is conducted between females that all have the same genotype and are triple heterozygotes...

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...
