Red fruits (T-) is dominant to tangerine fruits (tt), and smooth leaf (H-) is dominant to hair leaf (hh). Suppose the recombination frequency between these genes is 16%. You take a pure-breeding plant with red fruits and smooth leaves and cross it with a pure-breeding plant with tangerine fruits and hairy leaves. You perform a test-cross with the F1 generation and produce 500 offspring. What is the approximate number of offspring for each possible phenotype?

A. 40 red, smooth; 40 tangerine, hairy; 210 red, hairy; 210 tangerine, smooth

B. 40 red, smooth; 40 tangerine, hairy; 40 red, hairy; 40 tangerine, smooth

C. 42 red, smooth; 42 tangerine, hairy; 8 red, hairy; 8 tangerine, smooth

D. 84 red, smooth; 84 tangerine, hairy; 16 red, hairy; 16 tangerine, smooth

E. 210 red, smooth; 210 tangerine, hairy; 40 red, hairy; 40 tangerine, smooth

When you perform a three-point test cross to determine the linkage between three genes, you found that distance between the three genes were 16 and 8 map units. Of 1000 progeny produced in the test cross, you observe 7 double recombinants. What is the interference?

A.
0.547

B.
0.453

C.
0.16

D.
0.08

E.
0.0128

Answer:

1. E. 210 red, smooth; 210 tangerine, hairy; 40 red, hairy; 40 tangerine, smooth

2. B. 0.453

Explanation:

1. Recombination frequency = 16 %  

100 % _____ 500 offspring

16 % ______ X = 80 of the offspring will be recombinant (i.e., 40 red, hairy + 40 tangerine, smooth), while the remainder progeny (420) will have the parental genotypes >> 210 red, smooth and 210 tangerine, hairy (i.e., 210 + 210 = 420).

2. Expected double recombinants = 0.16 x 0.08 x 1000 = 12.8  

Coefficient of coincidence (c) = 7/12.8 = 0,546875

Coefficient of interference (CI) = 1 - c >>

CI = 1 - 0,546875 = 0.453125
