Researchers cross a corn plant that is pure-breeding for the dominant traits colored aleurone (C1), full kernel (Sh), and waxy e

ndosperm (Wx) to a pure-breeding plant wiht the reccessive trains colorless aleurone (c1), shrunken kernal (sh), and starchy (wx). The resulting F1 plants were crossed to pure-breeding colorless, shrunken, starchy plants. Counting the kernals from about 30 eats of corn yields the following data:
Kernel Phenotype Number
Colored, shrunken, starchy 116
Colored, full, starchy 601
Colored, full, waxy 2538
Colored, shrunken, waxy 4
Colorless, shrunken, starchy 2708
Colorless, full, starchy 2
Colorless, full, waxy 113
Colorless, shrunken, waxy 626
6708
A) Why are these data consistent with genetic linkage among the three genes?
B) Perform a chi-square test to determine if these data show significant deviation from the expected phenotype distribution.
C) What is the order of these genes in corn?
D) calculate the recombination fraction between the gene pairs.
E) what is the interference value for this data set?

D) #recombinant=116+601+4+2+113+625=1462

   #nonrecombinant=2538+2708=5246

  RF=R/(N+R)=1462/6708=0.2

  E) I=1-Q

I-interference

Q-coefficient of coincidence

Q=O2Xo/E2xo(2xo-double crossovers)

O2xo=6

P=(distance from C1 to Sh/100)*(distance from Sh to Wx/100)

=(3.38/100)*(18.28/100)=0.006

E2xo=0.006*6708=40.248

Q=6/40.248=0.15

I=1-0.15=0.85

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.
