In the yeast cross of ade2 met14 his3 x + + +, a total of 120 tetrads are analyzed. The following tetrad types are found in the numbers shown below each tetrad. The markers ade2, met14, and his3 are abbreviated a, m, and h and the wild type allele of each gene is indicated by +.

 

Based on your numbers, calculate the distance between his2 and his4.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You have isolated two temperature-sensitive mutations in phage l that you suspect may be in the same gene. These phage mutants are called ts-1 and ts-2. Each mutant will form plaques at 35˚C but not at 42˚C. You cross ts-1 to ts-2 phage by coinfecting E. coli at the permissive temperature of 35˚C. When the resulting phage lysate is plated at 35˚C you count 10,000 plaques per ml of phage lysate, but when the same phage lysate is plated at 42˚C, there are only 80 plaques per ml.           What is the distance between the ts-1 and ts-2 mutations in m.u.?

You have isolated two temperature-sensitive mutations in phage l that you suspect may be in the same gene. These phage mutants are called ts-1 and ts-2. Each mutant will form plaques at 35˚C but not at 42˚C. You cross ts^-1 to ts^-2 phage by coinfecting E. coli at the permissive temperature of 35˚C. When the resulting phage lysate is plated at 35˚C you count 10,000 plaques per ml of phage lysate, but when the same phage lysate is plated at 42˚C, there are only 80 plaques per ml.  

If the total size of the phage is 5 x 10⁴ bp and the total genetic map length of the phage is 100 m.u., about how far apart are the mutations in base pairs?
