Study Notes
Mapping Genes
- An F1 female has 8 chromosomes, and analysis of the F2 generation allows us to map three genes.
- Each of the three genes has two alleles, resulting in 2^3 = 8 possible combinations of offspring.
- However, the data shows that the combinations do not occur in equal proportions, indicating that the genes are not assorted independently.
Linked Genes
- In offspring of crosses involving linked genes, nonrecombinant phenotypes occur most frequently, double crossover phenotypes occur least frequently, and single crossover phenotypes occur with intermediate frequency.
Double Crossover
- The combination of traits in double crossover offspring tells us which gene is in the middle.
- A double crossover separates the gene in the middle from the other two genes at either end.
- In the double crossover categories, the recessive purple eye color is separated from the other two recessive alleles, indicating that the gene for eye color lies between the genes for body color and wing shape.
Calculating Map Distance
- To calculate the map distance between pairs of genes, we regroup the data according to pairs of genes.
- Nonrecombinant offspring have a pair of dominant or a pair of recessive alleles, while recombinant offspring have one dominant and one recessive allele.
- The map distance between body color and eye color is calculated to be 6.1 map units.
- The map distance between body color and wing shape is calculated to be 17.8 map units, although this value is a little low due to not considering double crossovers.
