Using Deletion Mutants to Determine Gene Order

Deletion mutants are an essential tool in genetics for uncovering the order of sixteen (16) genes on a chromosome. Deletions remove specific regions of the chromosome, allowing researchers to observe the effects of the missing genes on the phenotype of the organism. This approach is particularly useful for identifying the locations of recessive genes, which are only revealed when the corresponding wildtype copies are absent.

In a test cross involving deletion mutants, one parent carries a full-length wildtype chromosome and a second chromosome with a deletion, while the other parent is homozygous recessive for all sixteen genes. Offspring inheriting the full-length wildtype chromosome display the dominant phenotype for all sixteen genes in the test cross. However, offspring inheriting the chromosome with the deletion will display some recessive traits. These recessive traits uncover the missing genes in the deleted region. By analyzing which genes are uncovered in a series of different deletion mutants, the linear order of the genes can be determined.

In organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, polytene chromosomes from the salivary glands provide a physical map for studying deletions. Polytene chromosomes are giant chromosomes with distinct banding patterns, allowing researchers to directly visualize which regions of the chromosome are deleted. This visual representation complements the genetic data obtained from test crosses.

For this problem, deletion mutants have been generated for a chromosome containing sixteen genes. Your goal is to analyze the phenotypic data resulting from these deletions and determine the correct linear order of the genes.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, C, D, F, J, K, M, Q, R, S, T, W, X, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, twelve (12) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: A, C, D, J, Q, R, X, and Z
Deletion #2: C, R, T, W, and X
Deletion #3: C, T, W, X, and Y
Deletion #4: C, D, R, and X
Deletion #5: F, M, T, W, and Y
Deletion #6: C, D, Q, R, T, W, X, and Y
Deletion #7: C, D, M, Q, R, T, W, X, and Y

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene S.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene A.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, D, E, H, J, K, M, P, R, S, T, W, X, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, twelve (12) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: E, H, K, S, W, X, Y, and Z
Deletion #2: E, H, J, K, P, S, X, Y, and Z
Deletion #3: B, D, R, S, and W
Deletion #4: E, J, P, T, and Y
Deletion #5: D, H, K, R, S, W, X, and Z
Deletion #6: B, D, K, M, R, S, W, X, and Z
Deletion #7: B, D, M, R, S, W, and Z

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene A.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, D, E, G, H, J, K, M, P, Q, S, W, X, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, twelve (12) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: A, E, M, S, X, and Y
Deletion #2: B, E, M, Q, S, W, X, Y, and Z
Deletion #3: B, M, Q, X, and Y
Deletion #4: B, G, K, W, and Z
Deletion #5: Q, X, and Y
Deletion #6: G, H, J, K, P, and W
Deletion #7: B, K, W, and Z

Deletion #10: M, S, X, and Y
Deletion #11: B, Q, W, and Z
Deletion #12: B, G, H, J, K, W, and Z

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene D.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, C, D, E, G, H, M, P, Q, R, S, T, W, X, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, twelve (12) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: A, C, H, Q, S, and Z
Deletion #2: A, B, D, H, Q, T, and Z
Deletion #3: A, B, D, H, Q, S, T, and Z
Deletion #4: B, D, H, M, R, T, and X
Deletion #5: C, Q, S, W, and Z
Deletion #6: B, M, and X

Deletion #11: E, M, P, and R
Deletion #12: A, B, D, H, Q, T, and X

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene G.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, K, Q, R, T, W, X, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, thirteen (13) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: E, F, H, K, T, W, X, Y, and Z
Deletion #2: A, B, E, F, K, W, X, and Z
Deletion #3: D, F, H, K, R, T, W, and Y
Deletion #4: E, F, H, K, T, W, Y, and Z

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene A.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, D, F, G, H, J, K, M, Q, S, T, W, X, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, thirteen (13) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: D, G, H, J, K, Q, and Y
Deletion #2: B, F, G, J, Q, W, and Y
Deletion #3: A, D, M, T, and Z
Deletion #4: D, G, H, K, M, Q, Y, and Z
Deletion #5: G, K, Q, and Y

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene B.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, C, D, E, G, H, J, M, P, Q, R, S, T, Y, and Z, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, eleven (11) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: A, B, E, and J
Deletion #2: C, D, G, P, Q, and T
Deletion #3: C, M, and R
Deletion #4: A, B, D, H, Q, and T
Deletion #5: C, D, G, H, M, P, Q, and T
Deletion #6: A, B, D, E, H, P, Q, and T
Deletion #7: C, G, M, R, Y, and Z
Deletion #8: C, D, G, M, P, R, and Z
Deletion #9: A, B, E, H, J, S, and T
Deletion #10: E, J, and S
Deletion #11: B, E, and J

What is the correct order of the sixteen (16) genes?

Hint 1: The first gene at start of the chromosome is gene S.

Hint 2: Enter your answer in the blank using only sixteen (16) letters, or one comma every three (3) letters. Do not include extra commas or spaces in your answer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.

There are sixteen (16) genes, A, B, C, D, F, G, H, M, P, Q, R, S, T, W, X, and Y, closely linked in a single chromosome. However, their order is unknown. In the region, thirteen (13) deletions have been identified. These deletions uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows:

Deletion #1: C, H, and Y
Deletion #2: B, C, D, F, H, M, Q, T, and Y
Deletion #3: B, F, H, M, P, Q, and Y
Deletion #4: B, F, H, M, P, Q, R, and W

Step-by-Step Instructions for Solving Deletion Mutant Problems

Step 1: Simplify the information.

List the genes and deletions provided in the question.
Organize the deletions in a clear table or list format for easier analysis.

Step 2: Create a template for the gene order.

Start with placeholders for each gene (e.g., _ _ _ _).
Insert known genes based on hints (e.g., the first or last gene).

Step 3: Identify deletions containing the first gene.

Analyze deletions that include the first gene to determine its neighbors.
Use deletions that overlap to narrow down adjacent genes.

Step 4: Analyze deletions containing the next genes.

Look for deletions that include specific pairs of genes.
Identify deletions that exclude certain genes to resolve ambiguities.

Step 5: Verify the answer using all of the listed deletions.

Deletion questions can be hard to solve, but once you have an answer, it is easy to check if it is correct!
Go through each deletion and confirm that the proposed gene order matches the genes included in that deletion.
If any deletion is inconsistent with the proposed order, your answer is wrong.
