Question 1
Genetic linkage leads to the production of a significantly greater than expected number of gametes containing chromosomes with ________.
◦ allele combinations that are different from parental combinations
◦ parental combinations of alleles
◦ mutant alleles
◦ dominant alleles
◦ recessive alleles
Question 2
If you are given a recombination frequency of 34% between genes
X and
Y and 27% between
X and
Z, can you predict the order of the three genes?
◦ Yes; the order is
X-Z-Y.
◦ Yes; the order is
X-Y-Z.
◦ Yes; the order is
Z-X-Y.
◦ No; based on this data alone, the order could be
Z-Y-X or
X-Y-Z.
◦ No; based on this data alone, the order could be
X-Z-Y or
Z-X-Y.
