Question

1) (because someone asked about it in class) You are following 5 recessive traits in an animal: a, b, c, d, and e. Your student gives you a heterozygous animal, and you testcross this animal. You collect the following 10,000 progeny:

2000    acbe

250      cd

10        c

130      wild type

170      be

220      abe

230      a

2120    ac

10        ad

2100    dbe

180      cad

20        cbe

2150    d

230      cdbe

30        adbe

150      cadbe

A. What is the starting genotype of the heterozygous animal? Indicate which traits are in cis and which in trans.

B. What are the map distances between the genes?
