Gene Mapping Worksheet

1. The crossover frequency between genes E and F is 6%, between E and G is 10% and between F and G is 4%. Construct a map of these genes.

2. In 1911, Thomas Hunt Morgan collected the following crossover gene frequencies while studying Drosophila. Bar-shaped eyes are indicated by the B allele, and carnation eyes are indicated by the allele C. Fused veins on wings (FV) and scalloped wings (S) are located on the same chromosomes.
Gene Combinations FV/B FV/C B/C B/S FV/S C/S Recombination Frequency 2.5% 3.0% 5.5% 5.5% 8.0% 11.0%

3. The following chart shows the crossover frequencies for some genes on an autosome of organism Z. Construct a chromosome map. Genes P&Q P&R P&S Q&R Q&S Crossover Frequency 5% 8% 12% 13% 17%

4. For a series of experiments, a linkage group composed of genes W, X, Y and Z was found to show the following gene combinations. (All recombinations are expressed per 100 fertilized eggs). Construct a gene map. Genes W X Y Z W 5 7 8 X 5 2 3 Y 7 2 1 Z 8 3 1

5. For a series of breeding experiments, a linkage group composed of genes A, B, C, and D was found to show the following gene combinations. (All recombinations are expressed per 100 fertilized eggs). Construct a chromosome map. Genes A B C D A 12 15 4 B 12 3 8 C 15 3 11 D 4 8 11

In Drosophila, the gene for eye color (pr), wing shape (vg), and body color (eb) are all found on the same chromosome. The following crossover frequencies for these genes were determined by experiments. Genes pr & vg pr & eb vg & eb Crossover Frequency 12.5% 6.0% 18.5%

What is the correct sequence of the genes pr, vg and eb on the chromosome? 6. Construct a gene map given the following information: Genes A&B A&C C&D A&F F&B D&F Crossover Frequency 24.0% 8.0% 2.0% 16.0% 8.0% 6.0%

Challenger Question: 7. Five traits found in Drosophila are yellow body color (y), white eye color (w), vermilion eye color (v), miniature wing (m) and rudimentary wing (r). Given the following crossover frequencies, construct a genetic map. Genes y&w v&m v&r v&w v&y w&m y&m w&r Crossover Frequency 2.2% 3.0% 26.6% 30.0% 32.2% 33.0% 35.2% 56.6%
