Title: Genetics -- Recombination Frequencies & Gene Mapping
Post by: zgrami on Jun 22, 2013
I got an answer (12,5,17) but I want to confirm... I am a bit uneasy -- I tend to get 16.4 instead of 17?

what does the question read ?

zgrami mentions that in the original posting --> 12,5,17. Problem is, the image is so tiny I can't read the writing :( Do you mind writing out the question ?

Always post the question word for word:

You plant 1000 tomato seeds resulting from the cross, and get the following results: (data attached) Use the data to complete the linkage map below. Drag the labels onto the chromosome diagram to identify the locations of and distances between the genes. Use the blue labels and blue targets for the genes; use the white labels and white targets for the distances. Gene m has already been placed on the linkage map.

The first thing to do in a trihybrid testcross problem is identify your parental and double cross over classes, ie. the highest and lowest progeny classes.

In this case, your parental classes are MDP and mdp. The double cross over classes are mDp and MdP. The gene in the middle is the one that “flips” between parental and double cross over classes. In this case, you can see that D changes while M and P are constant. Therefore, D is in the middle and the order is MDP.

A cross over between M and D would produce the progeny classes Mdp and mDP. Add the number of these cross overs to the number of double cross overs, and divide by the total progeny: (52+62+2+4)/1000=0.12, or 12 map units.

Doing the same for D and P should give you 0.05, or 5 map units.
This means the distance between M and P would be 12+5=17 map units.

I could be wrong :P

parental a) MDP and b) mdp

c) MmDdPp

d) Mdp and e) mDP.

(52+62+2+4)/1000=0.12, or 12 map units.

Doing the same for D and P should give you 0.05, or 5 map units.

Distance between M and P would be 12+5=17 map unit
