All genes located on the same chromosome:
1. | Form different groups depending upon their relative distance |
2. | Form one linkage group |
3. | Will not from any linkage groups |
4. | Form interactive groups that affect the phenotype |
If a chiasma forms between the loci of genes A and B in 20 % of the tetrads of an individual of genotype AB/ab, the percentage of gametes expected to be Ab is:
1. | 40 | 2. | 20 |
3. | 10 | 4. | 5 |
A dihybrid test cross shows a frequency of recombination of 50 %. The best explanation will be:
1. | The two genes are likely to be located on different chromosomes |
2. | All of the offspring have combinations of traits that match one of the two parents |
3. | The genes are located on sex chromosomes |
4. | Abnormal meiosis has occurred |
Linkage maps:
1. | always have a total of 100 map units. |
2. | can be used to pinpoint the precise physical position of a gene on a chromosome. |
3. | are a genetic map based on recombination frequencies. |
4. | reflect the frequency of crossing over between X and Y chromosomes. |
The frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes will be:
1. | Higher if they are recessive |
2. | Dependent on how many alleles there are |
3. | Determined by their relative dominance |
4. | Proportional to the distance between |
