The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body, and b+ gives brown, the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives nonwaxy, the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red, the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed, and 2,424 progeny (you could also use n=2,423) are classified as follows:
cn+ · wx+ · b | 101 |
cn · wx+ · b+ | 768 |
cn · wx+ · b | 20 |
cn+ · wx+ · b+ | 323 |
cn+ · wx · b | 848 |
cn · wx · b+ | 101 |
cn · wx · b | 242 |
cn+ · wx · b+ | 20 |
Calculate the recombinant frequencies for b-wx, b-cn, and wx-cn.
Which gene is in the middle: b, wx, or cn?

PREPARATION OF COMPETENT CELLS and TRANSFORMATION:
2a. We will be preparing competent MM294 (E. coli) cells using a chemical treatment of CaCl2. What are MM294 cells, why do we use them? Define “competent” cells and describe why/how CaCl2 makes cells “competent”. Why is “mid-log” phase important? Support your drawing with a cartoon of what cells “look like” before and after treatment.
2b. What does “heat-shock” do (in the transformation procedure)?
2c. What is LB? What does “LB” stand for and what is its role in cloning? What would happen if LB was NOT on the plates?
