In a nematode C, elegans, long is dominant o short (L>l) and normal movement is dominant to uncoordinated movement
(U>u). A cross is made between a homozygous normal moving short animal and uncoordinated long animal. The resulting
generation was self-crosses and when large number of offspring was scored, short uncoordinated works were found at a
frequency 1%. From the data, determine whether these genes are located on the same chromosome or on two different
chromosomes. Justify your reasoning.
Allele for long L is dominant over short l
Allele for normal movement U is dominant over uncoordinated movement u
The is the cross is cross between homozygous normal moving short animal and uncoordinated long animal.
This can be represented as
UU ll X uuL_
Here only long animal is mentioned, it can be homozygous long- LL or heterozygous long Ll, and short must be
homozygous as short is recessive to long and recessive trait always express in homozygous trait. Similarly uncoordinated
must be homozygous as it is recessive to normal movement.
Assume that long animal is homozygous (LL)
Then the cross would be
