Pedigree Problem, what kind of disorder, what are the genotypes, what is the chance the
child has the disorder
Know how transposons are used to find a gene underlying a particular phenotype
(Finding the R gene)
Be able to perform calculations for the effect of natural selection of genotype and allele
frequencies
1) Consider a rare, recessive, autosomal disorder. Let the fitness of individuals with the
disorder = 0.1, and their frequency = .01 (1% of the population).
2) Two fruit flies with wrinkled wings had 100 progeny with wrinkled wings and 50
progeny with normal wings. Provide a genetic explanation for this result.
The wrinkled flies are heterozygotes for one gene, and the homozygote recessive
genotype is lethal
3) Two normal-looking fruit flies had 100 female progeny and 50 male progeny. Provide
a genetic explanation for this result.
The female parent is heterozygotes for an X-linked gene. Half her sons get a good X
from mom, the other half a bad X and these sons die.
4) Charlie’s sister has a rare, recessive autosomal disease. Cindy’s father has the same
disease. They want to have a child. What is the chance the child will be affected by the
disease? 1/6
5) Cindy’s uncle has a rare, recessive autosomal disorder. She wants to marry her uncle’s
son. What is the chance their child has the disorder? 1/12
Aa bb cc dd ee x Aa Bb cc dd Ee
a) what proportion of progeny have the same genotype as the first parent? 1/8
b) what proportion of have the same phenotype as the second parent? 3/16
c) what proportion of progeny are homozygotes?1/8
7) Consider a population of 100 individuals. p=0.2 and q=0.8
Chi-Sq. = 39.06
Df = 2
Probabilty this population is not evolving <0.0001…it is evolving
A way to focus your study around a basic concept than runs through this material,
Variation.
1) I performed a cross between two plants. I think one is a heterozygote and the other is
a homozygote. I obtained the following F2 progeny:
117 Brown
99 Blue
I tested a 1:1 ratio (Aa x aa -> 50% Aa and 50% aa progeny). But tests of 9:7 and 3:1
were accepted.
Df = 1
p = about .15
the null hypothesis is accepted, I am correct that one is a heterozygote and the second a
homozygote.

disorder = 0.4, and their frequency = .01 (1% of the population).

Multilocus Problem
Consider this cross:
Aa bb cc dd ee x aa Bb Cc dd Ee
d) how many progeny have the same genotype as the first parent? 1/16
e) how many progeny have the same phenotype as the first parent? 1/16
Provide the genotypes for these F2 phenotypes generated using Mendel’s strategy.

homozygous.

progeny with normal wings. Provide a genetic explanation for this result.
