In a Haploid Fungus,genes a and B Are Located on Chromosome

Question 32

Multiple Choice

In a haploid fungus,genes a and b are located on chromosome 2 and 7,respectively.A cross is performed between a strain that is genotypically a;b and has normal chromosomes,and a strain that is genotypically wild type but has a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 2 and 7.If crossing over never occurs in this fungus,what is the expected proportion of tetrads resulting from the cross?  Tetrad I  Tetrad 2  Tetrad 3  Tetrad 4  Tetrad 5  Spore 1  aborted a;bA;BA;BA;B Spore 2  aborted a;bA;BA;B aborted  Spore 3  aborted  aborted  abarted a;ba;b Spore 4  aborted  aborted  aborted a;b aborted \begin{array} { l l l l l l } & \text { Tetrad I } & \text { Tetrad 2 } & \text { Tetrad 3 } & \text { Tetrad 4 } & \text { Tetrad 5 } \\\text { Spore 1 } & \text { aborted } & a ; b & A ; B & A ; B & A ; B \\\text { Spore 2 } & \text { aborted } & a ; b & A ; B & A ; B & \text { aborted } \\\text { Spore 3 } & \text { aborted } & \text { aborted } & \text { abarted } & a ; b & a ; b \\\text { Spore 4 } & \text { aborted } & \text { aborted } & \text { aborted } & a ; b & \text { aborted }\end{array}
