Gene conversion can produce ratios of alleles that differ fr

Gene conversion can produce ratios of alleles that differ from Mendelian expectations. Imagine a gene with two alleles that differ by one base: allele 1 is CAATT and allele 2 is CAGTT. Draw a) the two alleles with their complementary base pairs, b) the outcome of a crossover that produces a mismatched base pair in each allele, c) the outcome of mismatch repair that results in a ratio of 3 copies of allele 1 for every one copy of allele 2.

Solution

a) CAATT complements with GTTAA

CAGTT complements with GTCAA

b)Figure 11-19 is n\'t there.
