Document Summary

Genes are located on different chromosomes, or they are located a great distance apart. Mendelian inheritance works if no linkage is assumed. Genes are linked if they were located near each other ( syntenic genes ) The further the genes are in a chromosome, the higher the recombination frequency it has, therefore the less linkage the two are encountering. The closer, the higher the linkage, the less recombination (i. e. less independent assortment) Refer to slides for distance of recombination calculation. Distance = # recombinant gametes / total of gametes x 100. Recombining gametes = 1 out of the affected 7 with bo => 14. 3% (= 14. 3cm distance) 10 potentials for recombination (do not count those that married in) And only 1 unaffected out of 10 progeny (not those that married in) from generation 1. Therefore = 1 unaffected (due to recombination) / 10 total progeny = 0. 1 = 10. 0cm. Are normal variations in dna sequence of 1 nucleotide.

a) There will be 9% AB individuals

b)There will be 91% Ab individuals

c) There will be 4.5% ab individuals

d) There will be 91% recombination individuals

If two genes a and b show 50% recombination genes a and c show 35% recombination, and genes b and show 32% recombination, then

a) Genes a and b are on the same chromosome, and 50 m.u. apart

b) Genes a and b are on different chromosomes

c)Genes a and b are on the same chromosome, and 67 map units apart

d) One cannot tell if genes a and b are on the same or different chromosomes from given data.

PART4 If two genes a and b are 8.3 m.u. a part, one expects to find

a) 8.3% recombinant gametes from a double heterozygous parent

b) 91.7% recombinant gametes from a double heterozygous parent

c) A chiasma between the a and b loci in 8.3% of the meiosis

d) A chiasma between the a and b loci in 91.7% of the meiosis.

PART5 Map distances are most accurate when genes are closely linked because as genes become further apart,

a) They always show independent assortment

b)The chance of multiple crossovers increases

c) They no longer recombine

d) There is chiasma interference

a) Aa

b) B/b

c)C/c

d) It is not possible to tell from just these data

PART7 In a three-point testcross with 100 progeny, there were 16 single crossovers between genes A and B, 29 single crossovers between genes B and C, and 4 double crossovers. The correct gene order was determined to be A-B-C. What is the map distance between A and B?

a) 20%

b) 0.2 m.u

c) 20 m.u.

d) 16 m.u.

e) 29 m.u.

f) 16%

Which of these statements is incorrect?

Syntenic genes are located on the same chromosome.

Independent assortment results in recombinant chromosomes.

You can reliably predict the relative genetic distance fromgenesâ physical distance on a chromosome.

Linked genes are always syntenic.

What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genesif the recombination frequency is 0.49?

0.49 cM

4.9 cM

49 cM

490 cM

What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratiosobserved by Bateson & Punnett in 1905? (Reminder: they found anoverrepresentation of F2 offspring showing both dominant orrecessive phenotypes, and an underrepresentation of offspringdisplaying one dominant and one recessive phenotype)

Human error: they should have been more careful about theirexperimental setup.

Gene linkage: Genes for flower color and pollen shape arephysically close on the same chromosome, leading to a breakdown inthe independent assortment of the alleles for these traits.

Chromosome crossover: Homologous recombination of twochromatids during meiosis caused the alleles to shuffle, resultingin a breakdown of the independent assortment of the alleles forthose genes.

Random variation: No two situations are alike. In finitepopulations, you are going to get some variation across a mean.

When determining the relative genetic distance between twogenes, why is dihybrid back-cross preferable over traditionaldihybrid cross?

9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio is easier to work with than 1:1:1:1ratio.

Genotypes of the offspring can be determined based on theirphenotype.

If the genes are independently assorted, the dihybrid back-crosswould result in only 2 genotypes in the F1 generation.

B and C

Why do we map genes?

To understand how genes interact with each other

Comparative genomics analysis

To determine the genotype of an organism

All of the above
