Question 1

What is the classical definition of a gene?

  • A unit of heredity
  • A type of chromosome
  • A function product

💡 Hint: Think about what was established in Mendel's studies.

Question 2

True or False: Complementation analysis determines if mutations lead to different traits.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two mutant strains of fruit flies, each showing a different eye color. Design a complementation test to determine if both mutations are in the same gene.

💡 Hint: Consider what color the result should show.

Question 2

Analyze a genetic map with two genes, A and B, showing recombination frequencies of 10% and 50%. What can you conclude about their physical locations?

💡 Hint: Think about how frequency reflects proximity on the chromosome.
