Genes A, B, C, D, and E are linked on a chromosome and occur in the order given.


The test cross Ae/aE x ae/ae  indicates the genes recombine with a frequency of 28%. If 1000 progeny are produced by this test cross, determine the number of progeny in each outcome class.

Understand the problem: The genes A, B, C, D, and E are linked on a chromosome, and the recombination frequency between them is 28%. This means that 28% of the progeny will show recombinant phenotypes, while the remaining 72% will show parental phenotypes. The total number of progeny is 1000.
Determine the number of recombinant progeny: Multiply the total number of progeny (1000) by the recombination frequency (28%). This will give the number of recombinant progeny.
Determine the number of parental progeny: Subtract the number of recombinant progeny from the total number of progeny (1000). This will give the number of parental progeny.
Divide the recombinant progeny into outcome classes: If there are multiple recombinant classes, divide the total number of recombinant progeny equally among these classes, unless additional information specifies unequal distribution.
Divide the parental progeny into outcome classes: Similarly, divide the total number of parental progeny into the respective parental classes based on the gene order and test cross results.

Genetic Linkage

Genetic linkage refers to the tendency of genes located close to each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. This is due to the physical proximity of the genes, which reduces the likelihood of recombination occurring between them. Understanding linkage is crucial for predicting the inheritance patterns of traits and calculating recombination frequencies.

Recombination Frequency

Recombination frequency is a measure of the likelihood that two genes will be separated during meiosis due to crossing over. It is expressed as a percentage, representing the proportion of recombinant offspring produced in a test cross. In this case, a recombination frequency of 28% indicates that 28% of the progeny will show new combinations of traits, which is essential for determining the outcome classes in the progeny.

Test Cross

A test cross involves breeding an individual with a homozygous recessive organism to determine the genotype of the former. This method helps reveal the presence of dominant and recessive alleles in the offspring. In the context of the question, the test cross is used to analyze the inheritance of linked genes and assess the recombination frequency, which is vital for predicting the distribution of progeny phenotypes.

Genes A, B, C, D, and E are linked on a chromosome and occur in the order given.


Previous genetic linkage crosses have determined that recombination frequencies are 6% for genes A and B, 4% for genes B and C, 10% for genes C and D, and 11% for genes D and E. The sum of these frequencies between genes A and E is 31%. Why does the recombination distance between these genes as determined by adding the intervals between adjacent linked genes differ from the distance determined by the test cross?
