Question

Recitation head 3) (34 pts) In a newly discovered animal, chromosome 3 contains a dominant mutation stripe, which causes a recessive lethal phenotype during larval stages. Several mutant animals carrying recessive lethal mutations on chromosome 3 were isolated and kept in stocks as trans-heterozygotes with stripe (i.e., mutant/stripe). These stocks were then crossed to each other (i.e., mut1/stripe x mut2/stripe) and their progeny (including dead carcasses) were examined. Listed in the table below is the number of progeny that are wild type (i.e., NOT stripe). mutant # 2 250 0 3. 12211250 10 - 4 ?300-136010 0 280 120 1400 150 180 120 130 180o 200 160 225 130 210 1580 100 175 201 101130 150 1700 350 280 260 330 256 0 180 280 0 350 165 190 220 145 310 0 250 195 0 10 A.
