Question

In dolphins, gray (G) is dominant to black (g), Sleek (S) is dominant to pudgy (s) and friendly (F) is dominant to mean (f). All loci are autosomal. Pure-breeding black, sleek , mean dolphins were mated to pure-breeding gray, pudgy, friendly dolphins. The F1 were testcrossed. Based on the map below and a coefficient of coincidence of 0.77, determine the frequency of each phenotype in the testcross progeny. Round each answer to 5 decimal digits.

What is the frequency of gray, sleek testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of pudgy, mean testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of gray, friendly testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of pudgy, friendly testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of black, friendly testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of black, pudgy, mean testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of gray, sleek, mean testcross progeny?

What is the frequency of gray, pudgy, friendly testcross progeny?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

The frequency of gray, sleek testcross progeny =0.08584+0.00416 = 0.09

The frequency of pudgy, mean testcross progeny = 0.02584 + 0.00416 = 0.03

The frequency of gray, friendly testcross progeny = 0.38416+0.00416=0.38832

The frequency of pudgy, friendly testcross progeny = 0.38416 + 0.08584 = 0.47

The frequency of black, friendly testcross progeny = 0.08584 + 0.02584 = 0.11168

The frequency of black, pudgy, mean testcross progeny =0.00416

The frequency of gray, sleek, mean testcross progeny = 0.08584

Tthe frequency of gray, pudgy, friendly testcross progeny =0.38416

Explanation:

Coefficient of coincidence = observed double crossover / Expected double crossover

Expected double crossover = RF between color & body type * RF between body type & disposition

= 18% * 6% = 0.0108                                                                                           

0.77 = ? / 0.0108

Observed double crossover = 0.77 * 0.0108 = 0.008316
