    Q1. If the progeny of the cross aaBB x AAbb is testcrossed, and the following genotypes are
    observed among the progeny of the testcross, what is the frequency of recombination between
    these loci?
    AaBb 135
    Aabb 430
    aaBb 390
    aabb 120
    Q2. Three loci are linked in the order B-C-A. If the A-B map distance is 1cM, and the B-C
    map distance is 0.6cM, given the lines AaBbCc and aabbcc, what will be the frequency
    of Aabb genotypes among their progeny if one of the parents of the dihybrid had the
    genotypes AABBCC?
    Q3. Genes for body color (B black dominant to b yellow) and wing shape (C straight
    dominant to c curved) are located on the same chromosome in flies. If single mutants for each
    of these traits are crossed (i.e. a yellow fly crossed to a curved-wing fly), and their progeny is
    testcrossed, the following phenotypic ratios are observed among their progeny.

    black, straight 17

    yellow, curved 12

    black, curved 337

    yellow, straight 364

    a) Calculate the map distance between B and C.


    b) Why are the frequencies of the two smallest classes not exactly the same?
    Q4. Given the map distance you calculated between B-C in question 3, if you crossed a
    double mutant (i.e. yellow body and curved wing) with a wild-type fly, and testcrossed the
    progeny, what phenotypes in what proportions would you expect to observe among the
    F2 generation?
    Q5. In a three-point cross, individuals AAbbcc and aaBBCC are crossed, and their F1 progeny
    is testcrossed. Answer the following questions based on these F2 frequency data.
    aaBbCc 480
    AaBbcc 15
    AaBbCc 10
    aaBbcc 1
    aabbCc 13
    Aabbcc 472
    AabbCc 1
    aabbcc 8

    a) Without calculating recombination frequencies, determine the relative order of these


    genes.
    b) Calculate pair-wise recombination frequencies (without considering double cross overs)
    and produce a genetic map.
    c) Recalculate recombination frequencies accounting for double recombinants.
    Q6. Wild-type mice have brown fur and short tails. Loss of function of a particular gene
    produces white fur, while loss of function of another gene produces long tails, and loss of
    function at a third locus produces agitated behaviour. Each of these loss of function alleles is
    recessive. If a wild-type mouse is crossed with a triple mutant, and their F1 progeny is test-
    crossed, the following recombination frequencies are observed among their progeny. Produce
    a genetic map for these loci.
    Solutions
    Q1. If the progeny of the cross aaBB x AAbb is testcrossed, and the following genotypes are
    observed among the progeny of the testcross, what is the frequency of recombination between
    these loci?
    AaBb 135
    Aabb 430
    aaBb 390
    aabb 120
    (135 + 120)/(135+120+390+430)= 24%
    Q2. Based on the information given, the recombinant genotypes with respect to these loci
    will be Aabb and aaBb. The frequency of recombination between A-B is 1cM=1%, based on
    the information given in the question, so each of the two recombinant genotypes should be
    present at a frequency of about 0.5%. Thus, the answer is 0.5%.
    Q3.
    a) 4cM
    b) Random sampling effects; the same reason that many human families do not have an equal
    number of boys and girls.
    Q4.
    There would be approximately 2% of each of the recombinants: (yellow, straight) and (black,
    curved), and approximately 48% of each of the parentals: (yellow, curved) and (black,
    straight).
    Q5.
    a) Without calculating recombination frequencies, determine the relative order of these
    genes.
