L25 Sex-linkage and recombination of linked genes

Beschreibung

• Identify the inheritance patterns of sex-linked genes. • Explain that linked genes show non-independent assortment. • Explain that crossing over leads to recombination of linked genes. • Discuss how recombination frequencies are used to map genes.

Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Frage 1

Frage
Which parents determines the sex of the offspring?
Antworten
  • Mother
  • Father

Frage 2

Frage
A male fruit fly is white eyed, which is recessive, and an X-linked gene. What term would we use to describe its genotype?
Antworten
  • Homozygous recessive
  • Heterozygous recessive
  • Hemizygous recessive

Frage 3

Frage
A male fruit fly carries an X chromosome with a white eyed allele, and is mated with a female homozygous for red eye alleles. Which statement would be true?
Antworten
  • All offspring will have white eyes.
  • All male offspring will have white eyes.
  • All daughters will be heterozygotes.

Frage 4

Frage
A colour blind male mates with a homozygous non colourblind female. Which statements are true?
Antworten
  • All sons are colourblind.
  • None of the sons will be colourblind.
  • All daughters will be carriers.
  • There is a 50% chance one of the children will be colourblind.
  • If one of the daughters has offspring with a non-colourblind male, there is a 50% chance that their son will be colourblind.

Frage 5

Frage
You perform a dihybrid cross between a heterozygote and a homozygous recessive individual. Instead of the expected 1:1:1:1 ratio, the parental types are far more common and only a small ratio of the offspring are recombinants. What can you conclude and why?
Antworten
  • The genes did not assort independently because they are linked on the same chromosome.
  • The genes did not assort independently because there was a failure to separate during anaphase I.
  • The genes being tested for actually do not segregate and are alleles.

Frage 6

Frage
Theoretically meiosis should cause all [blank_start]gametes[blank_end] to have the [blank_start]parental[blank_end] type if genes being observed are [blank_start]linked[blank_end].
Antworten
  • gametes
  • parental
  • linked

Frage 7

Frage
Which statement best describes recombinant frequency?
Antworten
  • The number of times recombination occurs during meiosis.
  • The proportion of recombinant gametes that are produced.
  • The number of recombinant individuals in a population.

Frage 8

Frage
The larger the distance between two genes the less likely a chiasmata will be formed between them.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 9

Frage
A small recombinant frequency indicates a small distance between genes.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
What is the maximum recombination frequency?
Antworten
  • 100%
  • 50%
  • 49.9%

Frage 11

Frage
Choose the correct statements about genetic map units.
Antworten
  • They are arbitrary.
  • They are also known as cM, centimacrometres.
  • They are also known as cM, centimorgans.
  • The number of map units can be calculated by multiplying the recombinant frequency by 100.
  • The number of map units can be calculated by dividing the recombinant frequency by 100.
