Two linked plus one unlinked gene pattern Phenotype Numbers
Solution
Answer:
Explanation
Shorthand
Number of progeny
CV V cl
301
+ + cl
273
+ V cl
80
+ + +
297
CV + cl
90
CV + +
86
+ V +
84
CV V +
289
Imagine the order is CV V cl/+ + +
1. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between CV & V
Normal order= CV---------V & +-----+
After cross over= CV-----+ & +------V
CV-----+ recombinants are 90+ 86 = 176
+------V recombinants are 80+ 84 = 164
Total recombinants = 340
RF = (340/1500.)*100 =22.7%
2. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between V & cl
Normal order= V---------cl & +----+
After cross over= V-----+ & +------cl
V-----+ recombinants are 84+289 = 373
+------cl recombinants are 90+273 = 363
Total recombinants = 736
RF = (736/1500)*100 = 49.06%
3. If single cross over (SCO) occurs between CV & cl
Normal order= CV---------cl & +------+
After cross over= CV-----+ & +------c;
CV-----+ recombinants are 86+289 = 375
+------cl recombinants are 80+ 273 = 353
Total recombinants = 728
RF = (728/11500)*100 = 48.53%
% RF = Map unit distance
The order of genes is -----
V------22.7 m.u.--------CV------48.53 m.u..-------cl
The gene V & CV are linked and the gene cl is unlinked
