Below are data from a three-point linkage experiment in Drosophila melanogaster. These data represent the offspring from a testcross between flies expressing the recessive mutant phenotypes for black body, vestigial wings and brown eyes and flies that express normal wild type phenotypes but are heterozygous for all three traits. All the heterozygous wild type parental flies in this cross start out with mutant alleles in the cis configuration. Answer the following questions based on these data and show your work for question 1 (a-d).
Body | Wing | Eye | Phenotype | Count |
b+ | vg+ | bw+ | Gray body, normal wings, red eyes | 103 |
b | vg | bw | Black body, vestigial wings, brown eyes | 95 |
b+ | vg | bw | Gray body, vestigial wings, brown eyes | 32 |
b | vg+ | bw+ | Black body, normal wings, red eyes | 29 |
b+ | vg+ | bw | Gray body, normal wings, brown eyes | 71 |
b | vg | bw+ | Black body, vestigial wings, red eyes | 68 |
b+ | vg | bw+ | Gray body, vestigial wings, red eyes | 10 |
b | vg+ | bw | Black body, normal wings, brown eyes | 13 |
1a)Which combinations of phenotypes are only possible in those offspring derived from gametes resulting from double crossover events?
_________________________________________________________________________________________
1b)What is the distance between the body color (gray vs. black) and wing loci (normal vs. vestigial)?
1c)What is the distance between the body color (gray vs. black) and eye color loci (red vs. brown eyes)?
1d)What is the coefficient of coincidence for double crossovers?
Need help with evolution questions:
1.) A haplotype is best defined as the ________________.
haploid genotypes of all the gametes produced by a diploid individual | |
ABO blood type conferred by an individual gamete |
genotype of either the paternal or maternal chromosomal complement |
multilocus genotype of a chromosome or gamete |
2.) Which of the following statements regarding linkage disequilibrium is true?
Exists when D is less than zero, but not when it is greater than zero. |
Is reduced by sexual reproduction. |
Is increased by crossing-over during meiosis. |
Is increased by any random sampling error that happens to create or destroy certain chromosome genotypes but not others. |
Is reduced by selection that favors certain combinations of genotypes. 3.) Selection on multilocus genotypes in random-mating populations leads to linkage disequilibrium when _______________.
