Four-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a four-point test cross examines four (4) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard four-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for all four genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for all four genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for four genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Dewy fly illustration. Gene D is associated with the 'dewy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene D appears moist, with its body covered in tiny droplets of water.
Nerdy fly illustration. Gene N is connected with the 'nerdy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene N has large, prominent eyes that stand out, much like thick-rimmed glasses.
Tipsy fly illustration. Gene T is analogous to the 'tipsy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene T moves in an erratic path, suggesting a lack of coordination, as if intoxicated.
Xanthic fly illustration. Gene X is linked with the 'xanthic' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene X has a fluorescent bright yellow coloring.

Four-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a four-point test cross examines four (4) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard four-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for all four genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for all four genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for four genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Chummy fly illustration. Gene C is related to the 'chummy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene C shows behavior where it always maintains a close distance to other flies.
Fuzzy fly illustration. Gene F is associated with the 'fuzzy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene F is covered in a dense layer of hairs, giving it a soft appearance.
Prickly fly illustration. Gene P is affiliated with the 'prickly' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene P is covered with sharp bristles, giving it a spiky texture.
Tipsy fly illustration. Gene T is analogous to the 'tipsy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene T moves in an erratic path, suggesting a lack of coordination, as if intoxicated.

Four-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a four-point test cross examines four (4) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard four-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for all four genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for all four genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for four genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Dewy fly illustration. Gene D is connected with the 'dewy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene D appears moist, with its body covered in tiny droplets of water.
Fuzzy fly illustration. Gene F is correlated with the 'fuzzy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene F is covered in a dense layer of hairs, giving it a soft appearance.
Rusty fly illustration. Gene R is connected with the 'rusty' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene R has a reddish-brown color, much like rusted iron metal.
Yucky fly illustration. Gene Y is connected with the 'yucky' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene Y gives off an unpleasant odor and has a generally unappealing look.

Four-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a four-point test cross examines four (4) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard four-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for all four genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for all four genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for four genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Chummy fly illustration. Gene C is related to the 'chummy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene C shows behavior where it always maintains a close distance to other flies.
Dewy fly illustration. Gene D is affiliated with the 'dewy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene D appears moist, with its body covered in tiny droplets of water.
Horsey fly illustration. Gene H is associated with the 'horsey' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene H is quite big and strong-looking, much larger than your typical fruit fly.
Kidney fly illustration. Gene K is analogous to the 'kidney' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene K has a body shape that is curved, similar to a kidney bean.

Question

Using the two tables above, determine all six pairwise recombination-based distances (cM) and the gene order.

Enter each distance to one decimal place, without units (for example, 12.0 or 26.2). Enter the gene order as four letters without spaces or hyphens; either direction is accepted.

Four-Point Test Cross Problem

A test cross is a way to explore the relationship between genes and their respective alleles. It is a useful tool for genetic mapping and deciphering the inheritance of traits. Specifically, a four-point test cross examines four (4) genes at the same time to learn about their assortment in gamete formation.

A standard four-point test cross involves crossing a heterozygous organism for all four genes with an organism that is homozygous recessive for all four genes

For this problem, a test cross using a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) heterozygous for four genes was conducted to understand their genetic interactions.

Characteristics of Recessive Phenotypes
Chummy fly illustration. Gene C is analogous to the 'chummy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene C shows behavior where it always maintains a close distance to other flies.
Fuzzy fly illustration. Gene F is linked with the 'fuzzy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene F is covered in a dense layer of hairs, giving it a soft appearance.
Nerdy fly illustration. Gene N is linked with the 'nerdy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene N has large, prominent eyes that stand out, much like thick-rimmed glasses.
Tipsy fly illustration. Gene T is correlated with the 'tipsy' phenotype. A fruit fly that is homozygous recessive for Gene T moves in an erratic path, suggesting a lack of coordination, as if intoxicated.
