Two diploid (2N) species of wheat are crossed T.aestivuma (N=23) and T.militinae (N=36), producing mostly infertile hybrid progeny. Rarely one of these progeny is particularly large and also fetrile. If one of these fertile hybrids was crossed back to a T.militinae how many bivalents would you expect to observe in meiosis I within the sterile plants produced by this second cross?

In Figure 4-3, would there be any meiotic products thatdid not undergo a crossover in the meiosis illustrated? Ifso, what colors would they be in the color conventionused?
A diploid plant is heterozygous for two linked genes, A and B. Crossovers between the two genes occurs in ~10% of meiosis. Multiple crossovers are never observed in one cell undergoing meiosis. What fraction of the gametes produced by this diploid plant are expected to be recombinant type? O 5% O 10% 2.5% 25%

A female of genotype a b c + + + produces 100 meiotic tetrads. Of these, 68 show no crossover events. Of the remaining 32, 20 show a crossover between a and b, 10 show a crossover between b and c, and 2 show a double crossover between a and b and between b and c. Of the 400 gametes produced, how many of each of the 8 different genotypes will be produced? Assuming the order a–b–c and the allele arrangement previously shown, what is the map distance between these loci?
In Neurospora, his2 mutants require the amino acidhistidine for growth, and lys4 mutants require theamino acid lysine. The two genes are on the samearm of the same chromosome, in the ordercentromere - his2 - lys4.A his2 mutant is mated with a lys4 mutant.

In a vial of Drosophila, a research student noticedseveral female flies (but no male flies) with bag wingseach consisting of a large, liquid-filled blister insteadof the usual smooth wing blade. When bag-wingedfemales were crossed with wild-type males, 1/3 of theprogeny were bag-winged females, 1/3 were normalwinged females, and 1/3 were normal-winged males.Explain these results.
If Emmer wheat (Figure 17-9) is crossed to another wildwheat CC (not shown), what would be the constitution ofa sterile product of this cross? What amphidiploid couldarise from the sterile product? Would the amphidiploidbe fertile?
This problem leads you through the derivation of acorrected equation for RF in yeast tetrad analysis thattakes into account double crossover (DCO) meioses. A yeast strain that cannot grow in the absence ofthe amino acid histidine (his−) is mated with a yeaststrain that cannot grow in the absence of the aminoacid lysine (lys−). Among the 400 unordered tetrads resulting from this mating, 233 were PD, 11 wereNPD, and 156 were T.a. What types of spores are in the PD, NPD, andT tetrads?b. Are the his and lys genes linked? How do you know? c. Using the simple equation RF = 100 × [NPD +(1/2)T]/total tetrads, calculate the distance in mapunits between the his and lys genes.d. If you think about all the kinds of meiotic eventsthat could occur (refer to Fig. 5.24), you can seethat the calculation you did in part (c) may substantially underestimate RF. What kinds of meioses(NCO, SCO, or DCO) generated each of the tetradtypes in this cross? e. What incorrect assumptions does the simple RFequation…
The radish (Raphanus sativus) has a diploid number (2n) of 18. The cabbage (Brassica oleracia) also has a diploid number (2n) of 18. Why is it that if you cross these two species to produce a hybrid with a total of 18 chromosomes in its somatic cells it is sterile, but if you form an allotetraploid (also known as amphidiploid) from these two species it is fertile?
In onion, male sterility is produced when the nuclear genotype is aa and the mitochondrial gene S (sterile) are present. Any other combination of nuclear genotype and mitochondrial gene (including gene F for fertile) will result in a male fertile plant. Give the genotypic ratio and the phenotypic ratio or the percentage of male sterile and male fertile offspring that will be produced in the following crosses. 1. Aa + S male x aa + F female 2. Reciprocal cross of number 1. (Note that when we do reciprocal cross, we interchange/swap the genotypes of the parents (if there is a nuclear gene involved, you interchange the nuclear genotype as well). 3. Aa + S female x Aa + F male 4. Reciprocal cross of number 3.
In autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Each of the F1 GGgg plants would obtain 12 gametes which are 2GG, 8Gg, and 2g. How were these obtained?
