Q

Linked genes?

A
  • genes on the same chromosome that do not seem to assort independently
    -loci that are on the same chromosome
  • inherited together and do not assort independently
  • these genes belong to a linkage group
    #linkage groups = # chromosomes

L> An exchange event between?

Q

Genetic recombination:

-recombinants?

A
  • progeny showing non-parental combination of alleles …aka non-parentals
  • crossing over occurs here
    L> two homologous chromosomes line up…
    chromatids…breakage and crossing over occurs…reunion: exchange is complete…recombinants have formed

Q

Hz(frequency) of recombination:

-The Hz of crossing over between two linked genes is ?

A

proportional to their location on the chromosome
L> the closer the genes are the less likely there is going to be any crossing over…the farther away they are the more crossing over will occur in that region.

Q

Linkage ratio?

A

if two linked loci are far enough apart the # of recombinants will be approximately 50%
- there would be a 1:1:1:1 ratio for all four phonos

Q

Nomenclature for synteny:
double heterozygote for w and m alleles, label if they are trans or cis!
- w+m+/wm
- w+m/wm+

A
  • cis ( when two dominant alleles are on one homolog and the two recessive mutant alleles are on the other homolog…aka coupling)
  • trans ( each homolog carries the dominant allele of one gene and the mutant allele of the other gene, called repulsion)
  • crossing over of cis loci = w+m and wm+ recombinants
  • crossing over of trans loci= w+m+ and wm recombinants

Q

Formula for interference? (cc)

A

cc= observed double crossover Hz/ expected double crossover Hz
….Interference = 1-cc
If cc= 1 then there is no interference and all double crossovers were observed..

A

21
Q 
Interference example: 
- expected # of double crossovers = 0.208(0.1)
- observed double crossovers= 6/500
L> what is CC?
L> whats the interference?
L> explain answer
A

cc= 0.023/0.0308= 0.577
interference= 1-0.577= 0.423
cc does not equal interference…
Therefore, in this case, only 57.7% of the double crossovers were observed.
