A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent incomplete link genes A, C and B arranged in the same order. The distance between A to C is 20 map units (mu) and that between B to C is 10 map. If pure line Drosophila AAbbCC crosses with aaBBcc to produce F1 offspring were allowed to cross with aabbcc result in 1000 offspring, which of the following genotype combination with number is correct?

A strain of Neurospora crassa, unable to synthesize the vitamin thiamine (t), is crossed with a strain that cannot synthesize the amino acid arginine (a). What information can be obtained from the resultant frequencies of ascospore patterns?

 A) The two loci (a) and (t) are independent assortment of each other

B) Both genes are closely linked to their respective centromeres.

C) no crossovers occurred between either gene and its centromere.

D) These two gene may reside on different chromosomes.

plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have three recessive genetic traits: bluish leaves, due to an allele (a) of gene A; a feathered stem, due to an allele (b) of gene B; and hollow roots due to an allele (c) of gene C. The three genes are linked and recombine. A geneticist performed a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits, and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type):

 A) Genes are in the order: a-c-b

B) Genes are in the order: a-b-c.

C) Genes are in the order: b-a-c

D) Interference is one

E) Greatest distance between gene a and b

In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall andsmooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny

a. The genotypes of both plant A and plant B are DdPp

b. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

c. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

d. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

e. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration
