Question

Please, explain this question using steps to be easily understood. Thank you for your teaching.

Determine the genetic map of three different house finch traits: beak color (dark vs light), song length (short vs long) and patch size (reduced vs normal). A large experiment was performed involving the usual P0 crossed, with the F1 test crossed. The following are the data for the offspring from the test cross:

Choose the map below that best fits the data

Select one:

a.)Patch Size - 8.49cM - Song Length - 13.04cM - Beak Shade

b.)Beak Shade - 8.49cM - Patch Size - 13.04cM - Song Length

c.)Patch Size - 13.04cM - Beak Shade - 8.49cM - Song Length

d.)Beak Shade - 13.04cM - Patch Size - 8.49cM - Song Length

e.)Patch Size - 13.04cM - Song Length - 8.49cM - Beak Shade

f.)Patch Size - 8.49cM - Beak Shade - 13.04cM - Song Length

Beak Shade Patch Size Song Length Number Observed Dark normal Long 73 Dark normal short 5 Light normal short 404 Light normal Long 50 Light reduced Long 11 Light reduced short 60 Dark reduced short 31 Dark reduced Long 509

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

c.)Patch Size - 13.04cM - Beak Shade - 8.49cM - Song Length

Explanation:

Hint: AlwyAl parental progeny are more than the recombinant progeny. So parental combinations are light, normal, short / dark, reduced, long

1). If single cross over between beak shade and patch size..

Normal: light, normal / dark, reduced

After cross over: light, reduced/ dark, normal

Light, reduced = 11+60= 71

Dark, normal = 73+5= 78

Total of this progeny= 149

Total progeny= 1143

Rf= (149/1143)100

=13.04%

2). If single cross over occurs between patch size and song length....

Normal: normal, short / reduced, long

After cross over: normal, long / reduced, short

Normal, long: 73+50= 123

Reduced, short: 60+31= 91

Total of this progeny= 214

Rf= (214/1143)100

= 18.72%

3). If single cross over occurs between beak shade and song length...

Normal: light, short/ dark, long

After cross over: light, long/ dark, short

Light, long= 50+11= 61

Dark, short= 31+5= 36

Total= 97

Rf= (97/1143)100

= 8.49%

Rf(%)= map distance (mu)

Patch size -----13.04 mu---------beak shade-----8.49 mu----------song length
