Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

- 6. A diploid strain of yeast was made by mating a haploidstrain with a genotype w−, x−, y−, and z− with a haploidstrain of opposite mating type that is wild type for thesefour genes. The diploid strain was phenotypically wildtype. Four different X-ray-induced diploid mutantswith the following phenotypes were produced fromthis diploid yeast strain. Assume a single new mutation is present in each strain.Strain 1 w− x+ y− z+Strain 2 w+ x− y− z−Strain 3 w− x+ y− z−Strain 4 w− x+ y+ z+When these mutant diploid strains of yeast go throughmeiosis, each ascus is found to contain only two viablehaploid spores.a. What kind of mutations were induced by X-rays tomake the listed diploid strains?b. Why did two spores in each ascus die?1. In corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male- fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Big light green circle cytoplasm Big orange circle cytoplasm Small orange circle Small half-light green-half-orange circle - Ff nucleus Small light-green circle - male-sterile - male-fertile - FF nucleus - ff nucleus a.

- 3. While working with a type of beetle that is normally smooth, large and white, you discover 3 mutations that lead to the recessive phenotypes bumpy, small and grey, respectively. You cross true-breeding smooth white beetles to true-breeding bumpy grey beetles and get all smooth white F1 beetles. Then, your cross the F1 beetles to true- breeding bumpy grey beetles and, after analyzing 800 F2s, calculate a map distance of 5 cM between the smoothness and color loci. a. What are the 4 phenotypic classes you get in the F2? Fill in the table below. For the body type (i.e., smooth or bumpy), use S or s to designate the alleles. For the color (i.e., white or grey), use W or w to designate the alleles. For the size (i.e., large or small), use L or 1 to designate the alleles.

- Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?5. In the tomato the mutant genes o (oblate = flattened fruit), p (peach = hairy fruit), and s (compound inflorescence = many flowers in a cluster) were found to be linked on chromosome 2. A testcross with a heterozygote was done, yielding the following progeny:. +++ = ++s = +p+ +ps o++ = ots= op+ ops = = = = 73 348 2 96 110 2 306 63 Determine a) the sequence and arrangement of the genes in the heterozygous parent; and b) the distance between the three genes.6.
