The following classes and frequencies of ordered tetrads were obtained from the cross a+ b+ x a b in Neurospora. (Only one member of each pair of spores is shown.) What is the order of the genes in relation to the centromere? Spore pair 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 Number of asci a+ b+ a+ b+ a b a b 1766 a+ b+ a b a+ b+ a b 220 a+ b+ a b+ a+ b a b 14

Step 1
We are given the frequencies of different classes of ordered tetrads resulting from a cross in Neurospora. Our goal is to determine the order of genes in relation to the centromere based on these frequencies. Show more…

A number of genes carried on the same chromosome are tested and show the following crossover frequencies. What is their sequence in the map of the chromosome? Genes $\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{A}$ $B$ and $D$ $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{A}$ $\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{D}$ $\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ Crossover Frequencies between Them $$ \begin{array}{l} 7 \% \\ 3 \% \\ 4 \% \\ 6 \% \\ 3 \% \end{array} $$
The following recombination frequencies were found between genes A, B, C, D, and E. Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome and sketch a linkage map of this chromosome with the map units labeled. A, C: 10% B, C: 4% C, D: 20% A, D: 30% B, D: 16% A, E: 6% B, E: 20%

Cross involving three genes on a single chromosome gives the following frequency of recombinant progeny: AB (25%) BC (17%) AC (12%) What is the order of these three genes on the chromosome? What other cross could you perform to confirm your conclusion?
