You are interested in a new type of autosomal dominant mutation that gives purple eyes in Drosophila. You have a true-breeding purple-eyed line carrying a mutation that you call pr-1. You have isolated a second purple-eyed mutation that you call pr-2, which you have established in a true-breeding line that also carries a recessive marker st, which gives stubby legs. You cross a fly from the pr-1 line to a fly from the st, pr-2 line producing F1 females which you then cross to males from a true breeding st line (normal eyes). From this cross, 1000 progeny flies can be categorized into four different phenotypic classes:

 

What is the distance between the st and pr genes?

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 +.

 

Use this categorization and the numbers of each type to determine which (if any) of the three markers are linked. For any linked markers, calculate the distance between them in cM.      

To measure the distance between two linked His– mutations, you cross a his2– mutant to a his4– mutant and then dissect 100 tetrads. Your lab partner records which spore clones are His+ and which are His– ; but then the fool loses the papers on which most of the data is recorded. In the end all he can remember is that there were three different tetrad types an that there was only one tetrad of the type with 2 His+ and 2 His– spore clones.

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.?
