A certain kind of snail can have a right-handed direction of shell coiling (D) or left handed coiling (d). If direction of coiling is due to a protein deposited by the mother in the egg cytoplasm, then a Dd egg-producing snail and a dd sperm-producing snail will have offspring of which genotype(s) and phenotype(s)?

A three point test cross was made between the  st^+-e^+-ss^+  and  st-e-ss , the genotype of the double cross over  will be;  st^+-e-ss^+  and st-e^+-ss. Based on this, determine the order of the genes.

We can construct a genetic map by considering the recombination frequencies for each pair of genes. The recombination frequency between a and b is 50%, a and c is 50%, and b and c is 20%. What will be the correct prediction about this statements;

a)  Recombination frequency between genes a and b and gene a and c is expected with independent assortment

b) The genes a and b and gene a and c may either be on different chromosomes or be very far apart on the same chromosome;  so we will place them in different linkage groups

c) The gene b and c are linked

d) The gene b and c are unlinked
