Question: A Drosophila cross is carried out with a female that is heterozygous for both the y (yellow body) and bb (bobbed bristles) mutations. Both genes are located in the X chromosome. Among 200 male progeny, there were 59 wildtype for both traits, 46 with yellow body, 43 with bobbed bristles, and 52 mutant for both genes. Do these genes show evidence for linkage?

Biology Questions & Answers

  Why is the total count for this trait low ever

The -10 and -35 sequences in bacterial promoters are separated by about two turns of the DNA double helix (remember genetics?). How do you think transcription would be affected if the deletion were introduced such that the -35 sequence was moved to -..

  Beta-glucosidase from almonds using 4-nitrophenol

In order for the 4-nitrophenol to release the yellow colour expected, it has to be fully ionised. With a pKa of 7, I have decided that pH9 will allow it to be fully ionised - this is also supported by yellow colour given off, and a reasonable calib..
