5. A kidney-bean shaped eye is produced by a recessive gene, k, on the third chromosome of Drosophila. Orange eye color, called cardinal, is produced by the recessive gene cd on the same chromosome. A third recessive gene on chromosome three, e, produces ebony body color. Trihybrid females are testcrossed to produce 4000 progeny, as follows: 1761 kidney, cardinal 1773 ebony 128 cardinal 97 kidney 89 ebony, cardinal 6 kidney, ebony, cardinal 8 wild type 138 kidney, ebony

a. Which gene is in the middle?

b. What is the distance between genes k and cd?

c. What is the distance between genes e and k?

d. What is the distance between genes cd and e?

5. The eye color gene in fruitflies is located on the X chromosome. The dominant wild-type X^+ allele produces red eyes, while the recessive XW allele produces white eyes. In addition, sex is determined in fruitflies by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to number of sets of autosomes. Imagine that a pure-breeding white-eyed female with the genotype X^W X^W Y AA mates with a pure-breeding red-eyed male who has the genotype X^+ Y AA. Imagine that nondisjunction...

Question 2 (5 pts). In roses, two gene loci on an autosomal chromosome are 30cM from each other. At locus 1, the E allele for red flower color is completely dominant to the e allele for pink flower color. At locus 2, the G allele for thorns is completely dominant to allele g for thornless. A particular rose cultivar, true-breeding for red flower and thorns, is crossed to cultivar 2, true-breeding for pink flowers and thornless. The F1 generation is...
