A female mouse with yellow-mottled fur, eye-ear reduction and regular teeth was mated to a male mouse with dark gray fur, normal eye-ear size and irregular teeth. The F1 females were all wild type, that is, dark gray fur, normal eye-ear size and regular teeth. The F1 males had yellow-mottled fur, eye-ear reduction and regular teeth. A cross of F1 females to F1 males produced the following offspring in the F2 generation.

a. Draw a genetic map showing the distances between these genes.
b. Express the differences in map units.
c. What is the coefficient of coincidence?
d. What is the degree of interference?
Problem 2
A female rabbit with hemophilia, rickets, and a tail was mated to a male rabbit that did not have hemophilia or rickets but lacked a tail. The F1 females were all wild type, that is, no having hemophilia or rickets but having a tail. The F1 males had hemophilia, rickets, and tails. A cross of F1 females to F1 males produced the following offspring in the F2 generation:
Hemophilia Rickets Tails Males Females
Yes No No 5 0
No Yes Yes 3 84
Yes Yes No 30 0
No No Yes 27 160
Yes No Yes 86 91
No Yes No 81 0
Yes Yes Yes 128 165
No No No 140 0
a. What are the genotypes of the original parents?
b. Write Each genotype to show which alleles are linked together on the same chromosome.
c. What are the genotypes of the F1 males and females? Write each genotype to show which alleles are linked together on the same chromosome.
d. Draw a genetic map showing the distances between these genes. Express the distances in map units.
e. What is the degree of interference?
