Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Neurospora of genotype a + c are crossed withNeurospora of genotype + b +. (Here, + is shorthandfor the wild-type allele.) The following tetrads areobtained (note that the genotype of the four sporepairs in an ascus are listed, rather than listing alleight spores):a + c a b c + + c + b c a b + a + ca + c a b c a + c a b c a b + a b c+ b + + + + + b + + + + + + c + + ++ b + + + + a b + a + + + + c + b +137 141 26 25 2 3a. In how many cells has meiosis occurred to yieldthese data?b. Give the best genetic map to explain these results.Indicate all relevant genetic distances, both betweengenes and between each gene and the centromere.c. Diagram a meiosis that could give rise to oneof the three tetrads in the class at the far right inthe listThe a, b, and c loci are all on different chromosomesin yeast. When a b+ yeast were crossed to a+ b yeastand the resultant tetrads analyzed, it was found thatthe number of nonparental ditype tetrads was equal tothe number of parental ditypes, but there were no tetratype asci at all. On the other hand, many tetratypeasci were seen in the tetrads formed after a c+ wascrossed with a+ c, and after b c+ was crossed withb+ c. Explain these results.Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
- Deduce the phenotypic proportions in the progeny of thefollowing crosses of autotetraploids in which the a+/a locus is very close to the centromere. (Assume that the fourhomologous chromosomes of any one type pair randomly two by two and that only one copy of the a+ allele isnecessary for the wild-type phenotype.)a. a+/a+/a/a × a/a/a /ab. a+/a/a /a × a/a/a/ac. a+/a/a /a × a+/a/a /ad. a+/a+/a /a × a+/a/a /aDuring ascus formation in Neurospora, any ascosporewith a chromosomal deletion dies and appears whitein color. How many of the eight ascospores in theascus would be white if the octad came from a crossof a wild-type strain with a strain of the oppositemating type carrying:a. a paracentric inversion, and no crossovers occurredbetween normal and inverted chromosomes?b. a pericentric inversion, and a single crossoveroccurred in the inversion loop?c. a paracentric inversion, and a single crossoveroccurred outside the inversion loop?d. a reciprocal translocation, and an adjacent-1segregation occurred with no crossovers betweentranslocated chromosomes?e. a reciprocal translocation, and alternate segregationoccurred with no crossovers between translocatedchromosomes?f. a reciprocal translocation, and alternate segregation occurred with one crossover between translocated chromosomes (but not between thetranslocation breakpoint and the centromereof any chromosome)?If two loci are 10 cM apart, what proportion of the cells in prophase of the first meiotic division will contain a single crossover in the region between them?
- Draw a preliminary linkage map of the three loci. What is their order? (E.g. is the forked locus between yellow and cross-veinless, or outside this region?) As this is a preliminary linkage map - do not account for double crossovers. You should base the distances on this map off your map distances calculated: yellow and forked: 39.3 mu yellow and cross-veinless: 11.9 mu cross-veinless and forked: 33.6 muIn a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.One yeast strain carries the alleles lys+ and arg+, whereas another strain has lys-3 and arg-2. The two strains were crossed toeach other, and an ascus obtained from this cross has four spores with the following genotypes: lys+ arg+, lys+ arg-2, lys-3arg+, and lys-3 arg 2. This ascus has a. a parental ditype.b. a tetratype.c. a nonparental ditype.d. either a tetratype or a nonparental ditype.
- Why is a 50 percent recovery of single-crossover products theupper limit, even when crossing over always occurs between twolinked genes ?In com, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene (F_) restores fertility to male sterile lines. a. What are the crosses male sterile female x FF male? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Explain.In autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Show the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion of each.
