BIOLOGY 101 GENETICS PROBLEMSSET 31. In corn, colored seeds (C) are dominant to colorless seeds (c) and yellow plant color (Y) is dominant to green (y). The genes for seed color and plant color are linked to an autosomal chromosome. a. Suppose you have a homozygous recessive individual (homozygous at both loci) with the following allelic configuration (alleles are mapped on the chromosomes below). What is the genotype of this individual? What is/are the genotype(s) of the gamete(s) that could be produced by this individual?b. Would crossing over change the genotype(s) of the gametes (with respect to these two genes)? EXPLAIN why or why not.c. Now suppose you have a heterozygous individual (heterozygous at both loci) with the following allelic configuration (see below). What is the genotype of this individual? What is/are the genotype(s) of the gamete(s) that could be produced by this individual? c cy y C c Y yd. Would crossing over change the type(s) of gametes produced (with respectto these two genes)? Use the cell pictured below to revise the drawing of the heterozygous individual (shown in part c) to include a crossover event.e. Draw/name the gametes (genotypes) that form as a result of crossing over. 2. Suppose two genes, gene A and gene B, are linked (autosomal) and are 10 map units apart in a flowering plant species. A cross between an individual heterozygous for both traits and an individual that is homozygous recessive for both traits produces twohundred offspring. How many of the offspring are recombinants? A) 1 B) 10 C) 20 D) 40 E) 100WARNING: THE NEXT QUESTION IS VERY DIFFICULT. TRY IF YOU DARE! (THIS IS AN OPTIONAL PROBLEM)3. Protan and deutan are two genes involved in red-green colorblindness. The allele for protan colorblindness (p) is recessive to its normal vision allele (P) and the allele for deutan colorblindness (d) is recessive to its normal vision allele (D). Both genes are located on the X chromosome (the genes are linked AND sex-linked). A woman withnormal vision, but whose father had deutan colorblindness and whose mother had protan colorblindness, marries a man with normal vision. Assuming no crossover occurs between the two genes:b. What proportion of their sons will have normal vision?c. What proportion of their daughters will have normal vision?d. What proportion of their colorblind sons will have only protan colorblindness?e. What proportion of their colorblind sons will have only deutan
