Question

3. A series of two-point crosses were carried out among seven loci (a, b, c, d, e, f, and g), producing the following percent recombination. Using the recombination percentages, map the seven loci, indicating different chromosomes and the distances between the loci of each chromosome. Show your work. 2 pts

4. In ants, long antennae is dominant over short antennae. Coarse antennae is dominant over fuzzy antennae. A heterozygous ant is mated in a testcross and the following progeny are produced:

long, coarse antennae474

long, fuzzy antennae 20

short, coarse antennae16

short, fuzzy antennae490

a. Assuming the two loci are linked, the calculated map distance between them in map units is:

Explanation / Answer

4)

The genotypes of antennae are as follows:

The genotype of heterozygous ant is: LlCc

The genotype of test cross parent: llcc

Thus, the cross is: LlCc × llcc   

So,

Thus, the recombination frequency is 3.67m.u
