Question

Predict the results of two-point mapping between d and c, d and vg, and d and adp. 13. Two different female Drosophila were isolated, each heterozy- gous for the autosomally linked genes b (Black body), d (dachs tarsus), and c(curved wings). These genes are in the order d-b- with b being closer to d than to c. Shown here is the genotypic arrangement for each female along with the various gametes formed by both Fenale A d b+ Female B Gamete formation (1) d b c (5)d +(1)db(5) d b (3)++c (7)d +(3)d+7d++ Identify which categories are noncrossovers (NCOs), single crossovers (SCOs), and double crossovers (DCOs) in each case. Then, indicate the relative frequency in which each will be produced. 14. In Drosophila, a cross was made between females-all express- ing the three X-linked recessive traits soute bristles (sc), sable body (s), and vermilion eyes (v)-and wild-type males. In the Fi, all females were wild type, while all males expressed all three mutant traits. The cross was carried to the F: generation, and 1000 offspring were counted, with the results shown in the fol- lowing table.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

13).

Female A:

Single crossover between second locus and third locus: 1). dbc & 2). +++

Noncrossovers: 3). ++c & 4). db+

Double crossovers: 5). d++ & 6) +bc

Single crossover between first locus and second locus: 7). d+c & 2). +b+

Female B:

Double crossovers: 1). db+ & 2) ++c

Single crossover between second locus and third locus: 3). d+c & 4). +b+

Single crossover between first locus and second locus: 5). dbc & 6). +++

Noncrossovers: 7). d++ & 8). +bc

14).

a).

P1 genotypes:

Femlae genotype--- sc s v / sc s v

Male genotype--- + + + / Y

F1 genotypes:

Femlae genotype--- + + + / sc s v

Male genotype--- sc s v / Y

b). sc----------38.2cM--------s-----------9.4cM--------------v

c).

Expected double crossover frequency = (RF between h & w) * (RF between w & b)

= 38.2% * 9.4% = 0.036

Observed double crossovers = 0.036*1000 = 36

The observed double crossovers sc + v & + s + = 46+30 =76

So observed double crossovers are more than the expected double crossovers

d).

Coefficient of Coincidence (COC) = Observed double crossover frequency / Expected double crossover frequency

= 0.076 / 0.036

= 2.11

Interference = 1-COC

= 1- 2.11 = -1.11

Interference is negative interference

Explanation:

Hint: Always recombinant genotypes are smaller than the non-recombinant genotypes.

Hence, the parental (non-recombinant) genotypes is sc s v / + + +.

1).

If single crossover occurs between sc & s..

Normal combination: sc s / ++

After crossover: sc +/+ s

sc + progeny = 156+46 = 202

+ s progeny = 150+30=180

Total this progeny = 382

The recombination frequency between sc&s = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (382/1000)100 = 38.2%

2).

If single crossover occurs between s & v..

Normal combination: s v / ++

After crossover: s+/+v

s+ progeny= 30+10=40

+v progeny = 46+14=54

Total this progeny = 94

The recombination frequency between s&v = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (94/1000)100 = 9.4%

3).

If single crossover occurs between sc & v..

Normal combination: sc v / ++

After crossover: sc +/+ v

sc + progeny= 156+10=166

+ v progeny = 150+14=164

Total this progeny = 330

The recombination frequency between sc&v = (number of recombinants/Total progeny) 100

RF = (330/1000)100 = 33%

Recombination frequency (%) = Distance between the genes (cM)

sc----------38.2cM--------s-----------9.4cM--------------v

Expected double crossover frequency = (RF between h & w) * (RF between w & b)

= 38.2% * 9.4% = 0.036

The observed double crossover frequency = 30+46 / 1000 = 0.076

Coefficient of Coincidence (COC) = Observed double crossover frequency / Expected double crossover frequency

= 0.076 / 0.036

= 2.11

Interference = 1-COC

= 1- 2.11 = -1.11
