BIOC15H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Dihybrid Cross, Eosin, Black Fly
Document Summary
Bioc15fall2013 lecture 9 notes: sex linkage maps and inheritance and lecture 10: linkage and chromosomes. Seed coat pattern in lentils are determined by a gene with 5 alleles spotted (cs), dotted, clear, marbled-1 (cm1) and marbled-2 (cm2) Sorting out the dominance relations by select crosses of lentils: f2 phenotypes from dihybrid crosses ill be 9:3:3:1 ratio only when dominance of alleles of both genes is complete. Complementary gene action generates purple flower colour in sweet peas: dihybrid cross generates a 9:7 ratio in f2 progeny 9 purple and 7 white. B_ee(3) and bbee(1) were golden (so 4 golden in total: epistasis 2 or more genes interact to control a phenotype. Genetic heterogeneity in humans: mutations in many genes can cause deafness. 3 two deaf parents can have hearing offspring due to genetic complementation (homozygous when parents carry mutations in the same gene, complementation does not occur and thus the child will be deaf.
