You have isolated a set of five yeast mutants that form dark red colonies instead of the usual white colonies of wild-type yeast. You cross each of the mutants to a wild-type haploid strain and obtain the results shown below;

you cross each haploid mutant strain to a different haploid mutant of the opposite mating type. From the results shown below deduce as much as you can about which mutations lie in the same gene. Clearly state any remaining ambiguities and suggest some general ways that the ambiguities might be resolved

a) That mutants 1 and 3 form one complementation group and are mutations in the same gene (gene A) 

b) That mutations 2 and 5 form a second complementation group and are mutations in a second gene (gene B).

c) That mutations 3 and 5 form a second complementation group and are mutations in a second gene (gene B).

d) The first ambiguity is whether mutant 4 has a mutation in gene A or B, or whether it represents a unique gene.

Which of the following is the correct prediction about mutants?

Plant having height 6 cm are allowed to cross with plant having height 2 cm , all F1 progeny having height uniform 4 cm were allowed selfing to produced F2 progeny in which 2 plant out of 32 having height 2 cm . How many pair of polygene is involve in that trait?

Two varieties of maize averaging 25 and 125 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 75 inches in height. Plant height is control by 3 QTL, what is the probability of plant with 25 inch height in F2 generation?

A plant height in Maize is control by 3 pair of polygene .Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 60 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 90 inches in height. What is percent of F2 progeny that is resemble with either 120 cm or 60 cm height?
