Problem 2

You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.

a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies?

b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring?

c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test crossbetween the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the followingF2 results to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.)

You decide to turn your attention to a different gene, one that controls wing length. This gene has two alleles, "L orl" where long wings are dominant to short wings. Remember that the red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype. You again mate two true-breeding flies:

P: red-bodied, short wing male X yellow-bodied, long wing female

F1: All red-bodied, long wing

d) You perform a test cross between the F1 flies above with true-breeding yellow-bodied, short-winged flies. You get the following F2 results. What is the recombination frequency (%) between the genes for body color and winglength?

e) Based on the information in (c) and (d), what are the two possible arrangements of these three genes: bodycolor, wing surface and wing length? Draw two linkage maps to show the possible arrangements of thesegenes and the map distance between genes.

Associated Grocery Stores (AGS) has always used paper bags for sacking groceries in its chain of retail supermarkets. Management has noticed that some competitors are offering reusable bags to their customers. AGS management isn’t certain just how strongly consumers in its markets feel about having to bring the reusable bags every time they visit the supermarket. Select two projective techniques. First, defend your use of a projective technique. Second, describe in detail how your two chosen techniques would be applied to this research problem.

Discussion

Based on what you have learned so far, consider one of the following questions. Post your ideas to the Discussions area first, and then read and respond to other students’ postings. The Discussions area is in the left-hand navigation menu of this course.

Self-Replicating Molecules

Your textbook states that the ability of molecules to self-replicate is an indicator that these molecules are “living entities”. Should self-replication be the only indicator of life? Why or why not?

Origins of Life

Up to date RNA has been the only molecule directly associated with the origin of life and early evolution of life on Earth.

In your own words explain how researchers came to this conclusion. Do you find their arguments convincing? Why or why not? Prior to answering this question, make sure you read Chapter 4, Section 4.4, The First-Life Form.

When calculating the concentration of a diluted solution, a person can use the dilution equation: Mc Vc = Md Vd

Why does Mc Vc equal Md Vd ? What is this mathematical statement saying? Why would losing some concentrated solution from the pipet during the preparation stage ruin this equation? Explain in detail.
