Want to know:
A scientist is evaluating the same region in two homologous chromosomes in mice. She knows that the Dand T gene loci are in this chromosome region and that the mice have D, D, T, and t alleles, that are homozygous dominant for D and heterozygous for T. How many haplotypes are possible in these mice?a. fourb. eightc. sixd. two

- A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population contain the A1 allele. If the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the flies carry both A1 and A2?
- If two genes are linked on the same chromosome, we call this combination the parental combination. These genes will be transmitted as a unit and will not sort independently. However, during meiosis, crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes, and the linked genes can become "unlinked." In general, the farther two genes are from each other along the chromosome, the more often they will come "unlinked." Genetic recombination is the process during which linked genes become unlinked. What do geneticists call the offspring that show these new combinations?
