Chapter 15: Q15-8TYU (page 313)

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=NumberofrecombinantsTotalnumberofoffsprings脳100

The number of recombinants is calculated as:

10=Numberofrecombinants100脳100

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.

Propose a possible reason that the first naturally occurring mutant fruit fly Morgan saw involved a gene on a sex chromosome and was found a male.

Mitochondrial genes are critical to the energy metabolism of cells, but mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in these genes are generally not lethal. Why not?

Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that causes gradual deterioration of the muscles. It is seen almost exclusively in boys born to apparently unaffected parents and usually results in death in the early teens. Is this disorder caused by a dominant or a recessive allele? Is its inheritance sex-linked or autosomal? How do you know? Explain why this disorder is almost never seen in girls.

The\({\chi ^2}\)value means nothing on its own- it is used to find the probability that, assuming the hypothesis is true, the observed data set could have resulted from random fluctuations. A low probability suggests that the observed data are consistent with the hypothesis, and thus the hypothesis should be rejected, A standard cutoff point used by biologists is a probability of 0.05(5%). If the probability corresponding to the\({\chi ^2}\)value is 0.05or considered statistically significant, the hypothesis (that the genes are unlinked) should be rejected. If the probability is above 0.05, the results are not statistically significant: the observed data are consistent with the hypothesis.

To find the probability, locate your\({\chi ^2}\)value in the\({\chi ^2}\)Distribution table in Appendix F. The 鈥渄egree of freedom鈥� (pdf) of your data set is the number of categories (here,4 phenotypes), minus 1, so df=3.

(a). Determines which values on the df =3 line of the table your calculated\({\chi ^2}\)value lies between.

(b). The column headings for these values show the probability range for your\({\chi ^2}\)number. Based on whether there is non-significant (p\( \le \)0.05) or significant (p>0.05) difference between the observed and expected values, are the data consistent with the hypothesis that the two genes are unlinked and assorting independently, or is there enough evidence to reject this hypothesis?
