Document Summary

Drosophila and gene linkage: wild-type drosophila females were mated to males homozygous for two autosomal mutations vestigial (vg), which produces short wings, and black (b), which produces a black body. All the f1 flies had long wings and gray bodies; thus, the wild-type alleles (vg+ and b+) are dominant. The f1 females were then testcrossed to vestigial, black males, and the f2 progeny were sorted by phenotype and counted. As the data show, there were four phenotypic classes, two abundant and two rare. The abundant classes had the same phenotypes as the original parents, and the rare classes had recombinant phenotypes. We know that the vestigial and black genes are linked because the recombinants (resulting from crossing over) are much fewer than 50 percent of the total progeny counted. Requires large sample size: define what a parental phenotype looks like! So identify p f1 f2: create null hypothesis e. g. the genes are unlinked.

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.

QUESTION 1

Jim is blood type A, his brother John is type O and his sister Jane is type AB. What are the genotypes of their parents?

Which of the following is true for alleles that show incomplete dominance?

Heterozygotes have a genotype like the dominant allele.

Homozygotes have a genotype like the recessive allele.

Heterozygotes have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles.

Homozygotes have the same phenotype as the heterozygotes.

QUESTION 3

Which principle of inheritance concluded that when games are formed in meiosis, the two alleles of each gene separate from one another, and each gamete receives only one allele?

independent assortment

Which term best describes a condition in which alleles at one locus can alter the expression of alleles at another locus?

polygenic inheritance

A single unit of genetic information located on a chromosome defines:

The physical expression (appearance or function) of an organism's genes defines:

genotype

a single characteristic

Palomino horses (golden color with a blond mane) are an incompletely dominant trait produced by the combination of the chestnut color allele and the cream color allele. If you wanted to produce as many palominos as possible, which mating strategy below would be the best choice?

16. Syntenic genes can assort independently when

A) they are very close together on a chromosome.

B) they are located on different chromosomes.

C) crossing over occurs rarely between the genes.

D) they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs frequently between the genes.

E) they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs very rarely between the genes.
