    c. 3 & 4 represents single cross-over between gene +(b) & +(c). Frequency of recombination for interval +(b) & +(c) is (130 + 140 + 18 + 12) / 1000 = 0.3 or 30 map unit d. 5 & 6 represents single cross over between gene a & + (b).

  • Fruit Fly Genetics

    Total number of fruit flies = 6000 + 4000 = 10,000 Hence, frequency of recessive gene 'v' = 6000/10000 = 0.6 Frequency for dominant gene 'V' = 4000/10000 = 0.4 Here, p = 0.4 and q = 0.6 a.

  • multiple alleles in a population

    frequency-independent selection The answer is (d), as the gene pool refers to the total set of alleles for a particular gene within a population.

  • How to calculate gene frequency

    Gene and genotype frequency can be calculated with the help of Hardy-Weinberg law.

  • Mendel's 2nd Principle

    Figure 1 is an example Gene A and B are close to each other, so the recombination frequency is 0.2 or 2 % of recombination. Gene A and C are far apart from each other, so the recombination frequency is 0.4 or 4% of recombination.

  • How to do a linkage map

    Firstly, you need to calculate which gene is in the middle. To do this, we must find the gene that recombines on its own with the lowest frequency (since this represents a double cross-over event).

  • Mendelian Inheritance Traits in Animals

    Therefore the frequency of the dark skinned gene in the white A. inornata population will be very low, as virtually all animals must have two copies of the 'l' allele and not the 'd' allele.
