Question

I already know the answers, but can someone please show me how to find the genotypes and to answer these questions?

Name: Section 1. There is only one answer per question for this section. A researcher studying hat color preference in holiday elves found a number of popular mutants that preferred purple hats over the wildtype red hats. Thinking that the purple hat genes might be advantageous in obtaining jobs at Williams and Sonoma during the holiday season the researcher went on to do a complementation analysis. The researcher was able to show that all mutant lines were true breeding and then did all of the pairwise crosses as shown below. Use the space provided to solve this problem and answer the ensuing questions. For consistence with the exam questions, use the following for possible gene annotations in order of identifying a gene; Gene 1-Ala, Gene 2 Blb, Gene 3 DId, Gene 4 E/e and Gene 5 Fff. Use subscripts 1,2, etc. to identify mutant alleles in order of their identification Genotype Color WT M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 Color WT R R R R P R R Wildtype Red P R P R R Mutant 1 Purple M1 Mutant 2 Purple P R P R R Mutant 3 Purple M2 Mutant 4 Purple P P P R M3 Mutant 5 Purple P P R M4 Mutant 6 Purple EP R M5 M6 1. How many genes did you identify? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four E. Can't tell 2. Which one of these fully describes an allelic series that you found using the chart above? A. A a1 a2 a3 a3 B. A a1 a2 D. D> d mutant phenotypes E. Can't tell because no variation in How many genes control hat color preference in holiday elves? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four E. Can't tell 4. Which cf these is the genotype for Mutant 2? A. AAb1b1DD B. AABBd1d1 C. a2a2B BDD D. AABBd2d2 E. Can't tell

Explanation / Answer

A- One (one gene having many alleles) B- A > a1=a2=a3 A-one (gene will be one only, these are alleles present on the gene which are expressed differently every time) C-a2a2BBDD (Since the Red colour hat gene is recessive in nature so the purple colour is expressed. normally Red colour is dominant and always express it)
