Added by David F.
Step 1
An unbalanced genotype typically refers to a situation where there is a difference in the number of gene copies or alleles, such as a deletion or duplication, leading to altered gene dosage. Show more…

Assume that for a given gene, a mutation creates an allele that functions as a dominant negative. The gene codes for a protein that forms a trimer within the cell. If at least one of the subunits has the mutant structure, the entire protein is inactivated. For a heterozygous individual, what percent of the trimers present in the cell will be active? A) 12.5% B) 100% C) 6.25% D) 50% E) 25%

22. In Neurospora, a, b, and c are auxotrophic mutants (require particular compounds for growth). The mating a b+ × a+b gives 5% prototrophs (grown on unsupplemented medium). The mating b+c × b c+ gives 2.5% prototrophs, and the mating a+c × a c+ gives 2.5% prototrophs. Assuming complete interference prevails in the chromosome segment in question, what percent of prototrophs would you expect in the mating a+b c+ × a b+c? (The order of mutations is not necessarily a,b,c: It can be determined on the basis of the two-point crosses above.) A) 0% B) 0.0625% C) 0.125% D) 2.5% E) 5% Answer: D
