For organisms with linear asci (fungal genetics) recognize the ascus patterns (MI, MII, PD, NPD, TT) and use this information to map two genes relative to one another and to their respective centromeres. Draw the resulting map and make adjustments where necessary, explaining the reasons for the adjustment.

6.11 Arabidopsis thaliana is the most widely used flowering plant for genetic and genomic studies. The graph in Figure Q6.2 shows the DNA content per cell at different times points during the life cycle of the plant, beginning with somatic cells of the flower and ending with the single cell seed (after fertilization). Indicate where the stages of premeiosis, meiosis, and fertilization would be found on the X-axis. 0.8 DNA content per cell (pg) 0.4 0.2 Time Figure Q6.2

What percentage of the DNA sites in yeast are accessible, assuming that the fraction of sites observed for GAL4 is typical? To how many base pairs of the 12-Mb yeast genome does this percentage correspond?
Three haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth). A C W Mutant 1 Mutant 2 Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and WN. O Like mutant 1 O Like mutant 2 Like mutant 3 O Like wild type

6). To investigate the genetic control of locomotive behavior in the diploid nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, eight "wiggly" mutants were isolated, which wiggle in an uncoordinated way rather than smoothly gliding. These eight mutants were crossed together in all possible pairwise combinations, yielding the results summarized in the table above (+ means that all the progeny were wild type, and m means that all the progeny showed the wiggly mutant phenotype). Organize the eight mutations into con lementation groups, each consisting of a group of mutations affecting the same gene. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 E N+E 2 3+1 m + m 4 5 + m m E+ + + EE 6 ++E E+ +EE m m + + + + + + + + + m 7 8 ++4 ∞+E +E m m ++ E
