BISC 219/F10: Assignment Series2 Mapping Crosses

Lab 4 Assignment: Mapping the Mutation
At or before the beginning of lab next time, construct a diagram of  crosses that you will set up in the Mapping the Mutation part of Series 2. Use the templates provided. Highlight the progeny that will be used to continue each step of the process of determining the location of the mutation on the chromosome (linkage group) that you determined through linkage testing. Include the expected results (genotype and phenotype) for both the outcross and self-fertilization progeny used in mapping. Construct a narrative description that summarizes the rational for this work as part of your overall Series 2 goals and explains how the results will allow you to determine the location of the mutated gene responsible for the abnormal phenotype you are studying.
