Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white (b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r) stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross a homozygous blue oval plant with a homozygous white round plant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygous white oval plants, and 1,000 offspring plants are obtained. How many plants of each of the four phenotypes do you expect?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The following four types of offspring are obtained:

  • 450 blue oval

  • 450 white round

  • 50 blue round

  • 50 white oval

Step by step solution

01

The genotype of F1 progeny

The genotype of the homozygous blue oval plant isBBrr, and the genotype of the homozygous white round plant isbbRR. The gametes produced from theBBrrplant areBr, and the gametes produced from thebbRRplant are bR.

Thus, when both the plants are crossed (BBrr 脳 bbRR), the genotype of the F1 progeny is BbRr.

02

Genotype of offspring from F1 progeny and homozygous white oval plants

The genotype of homozygous white oval plants isbbrr.

Four different progenies are produced when F1 progeny (BbRr) is crossed with the homozygous white oval plant (bbrr). The phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring are blue round (BbRr), blue oval (Brrr), white round (bbRr), and white oval (bbrr).

Some of the offspring obtained are of parental types, and some are recombinants. The blue oval and white round plants are of a parental type, and the blue round and white oval are recombinants.

03

Number of recombinants produced

The genes that control the color and shape of stamens are ten map units apart. This meansthe recombination frequency between the genes is 10%.The number of offspring produced is 1000.

The number of recombinants can be calculated using the formula for recombinant frequency. The formula:

Recombinationfrequency=NumberofrecombinantsTotalnumberofoffsprings100

The number of recombinants is calculated as:

10=Numberofrecombinants100100

Thus, the number of recombinants is 100.

04

Number of each type of plants

The number of recombinants is 100, which means 50 each of blue round and white oval plants is produced as these are recombinants.The remaining 900 (1000-100) offspring are of the parental type.This means 450 each of blue oval and white round plants are obtained.

Thus, 50 each type of recombinants and 450 each of parental type plants are produced.

A wild-type fly (heterozygous for gray body and normal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings. The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wild type, 778; black vestigial; 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial, 162. What is the recombination frequency between these genes for the body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the results of the experiment in Figure 15.9?

Butterflies have an X-Y sex determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorphy, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual looking butterfly.

Using the information from problem 4, scientists do a further testcross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology. The offspring are tall upturned snout, 40; dwarf upturned snout, 9; dwarf downturned snout, 42; tall downturned snout, 9. Calculate the recombination frequency from these data, and then use your answer from problem 4 to determine the correct order of the three linked genes.

A planet is inhabited by creatures that reproduce with the same hereditary patterns seen in humans. Three phenotypic characters are height (T = tall, t= dwarf), head appendages (A = antennae, a = no antennae), and nose morphology (S = upturned snout, s = downturned snout). Since the creatures are not 鈥渋ntelligent,鈥 Earth scientists are able to do some controlled breeding experiments using various heterozygotes in testcrosses. For tall heterozygotes with antennae, the offspring are tall antennae, 46; dwarf antennae, 7; dwarf no antennae, 42; tall no antennae, 5. For heterozygotes with antennae and an upturned snout, the offspring are antennae upturned snout 47; antennae downturned snout, 2; no antennae downturned snout, 48; no antennae upturned snout, 3. Calculate the recombination frequencies for both experiments.

Banana plants, which are triploid, are seedless and therefore sterile. Propose a possible explanation.
