Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh), and yellow seedling (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are link

ed on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three- point testcross. The progeny of the testcross are:
wx sh V 87
Wx Sh v 94
Wx Sh V 3,479
wx sh v 3,478
Wx sh V 1,515
wx Sh v 1,531
wx Sh V 292
Wx sh v 280
Total 10,756
a. Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome.

b. Calculate the map distance between the genes.

c. Determine the coefficient of coincidece and the interference among these genes.

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Order of genes = wx-v-sh

b).

Distance between gene wx and v = 7 m.u.

Distance between gene v and sh= 30 m.u.

Distance between gene wx and sh= 33.64 m.u.

c).

Coefficient of Coincidence=0.81

Interference=0.19

Exaplanatiion:

Hint: Always recombinant genotypes are smaller than the non-recombinant genotypes.

Hence, the parental (non-recombinant) genotype is Wx Sh V / wx sh v.

1).

If single crossover occurs between Wx & Sh..

Normal combination: Wx Sh / wx sh

After crossover: Wx sh / wx Sh

Wx sh progeny= 1515+280 = 1795

wx Sh progeny = 1531+292 = 1823

Total this progeny = 3618

The recombination frequency between Wx & Sh = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (3618/10756)100 = 33.64%

2).

If single crossover occurs between Sh & V..

Normal combination: Sh V / sh v

After crossover: Sh v / sh V

Sh v progeny= 94+1531 = 1625

sh V progeny = 87+1515 = 1602

Total this progeny = 3227

The recombination frequency between Sh & V = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (3227/10756)100 = 30%

3).

If single crossover occurs between Wx & V..

Normal combination: Wx V / wx v

After crossover: Wx v / wx V

Wx v progeny= 94+280= 374

wx V progeny = 87+292 = 379

Total this progeny = 753

The recombination frequency between Wx & V = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (753 / 10756)100 = 7%

Recombination frequency (%) = Distance between the genes (mu)

Wx-------7mu------V-----------30mu--------------Sh

Locus1(Wx)------Locus 2(V)-------Locus 3 (Sh)

Expected double crossover frequency = (RF between Wx & V) * (RF between V & Sh)

= 7% * 30% = 0.021

The observed double crossover frequency = 87+94 / 10756= 0.017

Coefficient of Coincidence (COC) = Observed double crossover frequency / Expected double crossover frequency

= 0.017 / 0.021

= 0.81

Interference = 1-COC

= 1-0.81 = 0.19

!!Help!! In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f
tatiyna

Answer:

% GENOTYPE

FF = 0%

Ff = 50%

ff = 50%

% PHENOTYPE

Black fur = 50%

Grey fur = 60%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in dogs. The allele for grey fur (F) is dominant over the allele for black fur (f). This means that a heterozygous dog (Ff) will have a grey fur.

In this question, a heterozygous female (Ff) is said to cross with a recessive male (ff) i.e. Ff × ff. The following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Ff - F and f

ff - f and f

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced:

Ff - 1/2 = 50%

ff - 1/2 = 50%

Ff is phenotypically GREY while ff is phenotypically BLACK. This means that 50% of the offsprings will be black and 50% will be grey.

Katen [24]

If one wishes to clone a gene using typical restriction endonucleases, how does the restriction endonuclease identify the appropriate cut sites in the genome using the palindromic sequence.

Restriction endonucleases are a family of enzymes usually found in bacteria that cuts DNA  at a specific sequence called recognition site. There are three type of restriction endonuclease Type I, Type II, and Type III.

Each endonuclease recognizes a particular sequence called palindromic sequence which is a sequence that reads the same sequence in both the strands either reading from the 3 prime end or 5 prime end.

The endonuclease cuts the palindromic sequence in such a way that it produces sticky ends.
