The genes A and B are 25 cMs apart. If the dominant alleles are in trans in a dihybrid, the expected frequency of the ab gametes would be:
Answer is .125, but please explain very detailed how they got that answer!
Answer: 12.5
The two genes are 25 cMs apart, so there is only a 25% chance of recombination (crossing over) between the genes. The dominant alleles (A and B) are in trans, so that means they are on the same different DNA strands (homologous chromosome). Allele A and b present on one chromosome and a and B on the other chromosome
Since crossing over occurs 25% of the time, then gametes from those events would be AB and ab and would represent 25% of the total resulting gametes. The AB & ab gamets would be in equal proportion, so the ab gametes would be 12.5% of them
The remaining 75% would be Ab and aB in equal proportion,
The genes A and B are 25 cMs apart. If the dominant alleles are in trans...
In sweet peas, two genes (genes A and B) control flower color. The dominant alleles of both genes produce enzymes that function in the biochemical pathway shown to convert colorless precursors to a purple pigment. The recessive alleles do not produce enzyme. Therefore, at least one dominant allele of both gene A and gene B are required for purple flowers. Answer the questions about this biochemical pathway. ΑΑ, Αα BB, Bb Enzyme A Enzyme B Colorless precursor 1 Colorless precursor...
Genes A and B are linked and 32 map units apart (A is dominant over a, and B is dominant over b). If an Ab/aB heterozygote is test-crossed and you look at 100 offspring, how many offspring recessive for both phenotypes do you expect? Answer:
The B and N genes are 25 map units apart on a chromosome. a) Following a dihybrid testcross, how many offspring of 250 would you expect to display a recombinant phenotype? a) If you performed a dihybrid testcross, with a cis dihybrid, what would be the genotypes of both recombinant offspring phenotypic classes?
Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (Ab/aB) whose loci are linked and 25 mu apart. Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Please Explain your reasoning behind your answers and how you got to them. Thanks!
8) There is a blood type gene with three alleles A, B and O. A is dominant to O, B is dominant to O and A and B are co-dominant/incompletely dominant. What are the likely genotypes if a mother has the genotype AA and the father has the genotype BO? Group of answer choices a) 50% AA 50% BB b) 50% Ab blood 50% A blood c) 25% AB, 25% AO, 50% OO d) 50% AB 50% AO 9) There is...
Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is homozygous recessive for gene c, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is heterozygous for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene I. • Inhibition is dominant to uninhibited, pigmented feathers are dominant to unpigmented feathers. • The inhibitor gene (I) will prevent expression of pigmented chicken...
Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advantage relative to b, so that the fitnesses of the three genotypes are BB = 1, Bb = 1, and bb = 1-s. In this case, s = 0.50, so that bb homozygotes have 50% fitness of heterozygotes and BB homozygotes. If the population has the following genotypic counts prior to selection of BB =...
You are following the inheritance of three genes: A, B and C. A and B are on the same chromosome; C is on a different chromosome from A and B (for example; A and B are on chromosome 1 and C is on chromosome 4).Which option correctly represents the genotype of an individual who is heterozygous for all three genes?What is the recombination frequency for unlinked genes (i.e., genes that sort independently)? Frequency is given as a number from 0...

In flying pigs, genes for wing length (S = long wings, s = short wings) and body color (P=gray; p = pink) are 24 map units apart. You are crossing a dihybrid male pig (created by crossing a pure-breeding short-winged gray pig with a pure-breeding long-winged pink pig) with a pink, short-winged female pig. For the questions that follow, where appropriate, do not do the math -- report individual chances and mathematical operators. Are the male pigs alleles in...
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 from genes’ physical distance on a chromosome. Linked genes are always syntenic. What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genes if the recombination frequency is 0.49? 0.49 cM 4.9 cM 49 cM 490 cM What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratios observed by Bateson & Punnett in 1905?...
