Question

Consider three linked locis, SNP01, SNP02, and SNP03. The alleles at the respective loci are A,a (SNP01), B and b (SNP02), and C and c (SNP03). Given the following table of haplotype counts: Haplotype counts for three loci Phenotype Number of Observed haplotypes ,What SNP is in the middle? A. SNP03. B. SNP02 is between SNP02 and SNP01. C. All SNPs have 0 recombination among them. D. SNP02. E. SNP01.

thank you

Haplotype counts for three loci Phenotype Number of Observed haplotypes Abc 1 aBC 1 abc 455 AbC 24 ABC 490 ABc 26 aBc 15 abC 28

Explanation / Answer

Answer - E

Parent
ABC - 490
abc - 455

Double cross over
Abc    1
aBC    1

The DCO the the cross between a and A gives a parental strand A B C.
So, the order is worng.
The order must be B A C.

If we dco the parents B A C

             b   a   c

we get the DCO pattern now.

So, SNP01 is present in the middle.
