Review Problems

This article discusses the concepts of gene linkage, recombination, and mapping in genetics. It explains the importance of mapping genomes, the two types of maps used, and provides examples and explanations of gene linkage and recombination. The article also covers the role of crossing over in genetic recombination and introduces the concept of genetic mapping through recombinant frequency. Additionally, it explores the process of constructing a genetic linkage map using allele combinations of multiple genes.

  2. Question • If two genes are tightly linked, such that no crossing over occurs between them: • All progeny will be parentals. • All progeny will be nonparentals. • All progeny will be recombinants. • Progeny will be 50% parental, 50% nonparental. • Progeny will be 25% nonrecombinant, 75% recombinant. • a. All progeny will be parentals.

  6. Question • If two nuclear genes in a diploid eukaryote are physically linked by DNA sequence data, but we have no additional data other than this, we can say with confidence that they: • Are homologs • Are genetically linked and would cosegregate during meiosis • Are separated by no more than 1 cM • Are located on the same chromosome • Are located on separate chromosomes • d. Are located on the same chromosome

  9. Why map the genome ? • Gene position important to build complex genomes • To determine the structure and function of a gene • To determine the evolutionary relationships and potential mechanism.

  10. Two types of maps ? • Recombination-based maps* • Physical maps

  21. For linked genes, recombinant frequencies are less than 50% in a testcross. Fig. 4-8

  22. Mapping by Recombinant Frequency Morgan set his student Alfred Sturtevant to the project. “In the latter part of 1911, in conversation with Morgan, I suddenly realized that the variations in strength of linkage, already attributed by Morgan to differences in the spatial separation of genes, offered the possibility of determining sequence in the linear dimension of a chromosome. I went home and spent most of the night (to neglect of my undergraduate homework) in producing the first chromosome map.” Sturtevant

  23. Frequency of crossing over, indicates the distance between two genes on the chromosome.

  24. Map distances are additive. Fig. 4-9

  25. Question • You construct a genetic linkage map by following allele combinations of three genes, X, Y, and Z. You determine that X and Y are 3 cM apart, and X and Z are 3 cM apart, and that Y and Z are 6 cM apart. These cM numbers are most likely based on: • DNA sequencing of the region in question • Recombination frequencies • Measuring the distance in a scanning EM micrograph • Independent assortment • b. Recombination frequencies

  26. Question • Referring to the cM numbers in the last question, what is the relative gene order of these three genes? • Z-X-Y • Y-X-Z • X-Y-Z • a and b • a. Z-X-Y • b. Y-X-Z
