Will non-mendelian genetics be tested? such as 3 point test crosses, etc?

 

[HannibalLecter]

What do you mean non-Mendelian genetics?

Extranuclear inheritance - Yes
Infectious heredity - yes

None of the others

 

[Troyvdg]

non mendelian meaning 3 pt. test crosses like double cross over events, gene mapping

Molecular genetics?

👍

..no, not molecular genetics

 

[HannibalLecter]

Don't look over the math just concepts:

Gene mapping....yes
Recombination frequencies and how they relate to gene mapping.....yes
Back cross/Test cross......yes
Dihybrid cross...yes

Trihybrid cross ... its not going to into that much detail

9:3:3:1 ratios.......yes
You know the deal

Why the F does Kaplan have molecular genetics in their text then?

they will have dihybrid questions. Just remember that every DAT is different, some will have questions like that and some wont. Mine did. I took kaplan and I felt it helped. They didn't have any questions with stuff like AaBbCc x aabbCc.

Because that is extremely basic molecular genetics. I would know what Kaplan has listed as molecular genetics.

i was talking more about double cross over events, so that the normal mendelian predicted frequency is not observed.
but thanks for the input everyone 👍

Yo I was doing some practice problems and remembered this thread, try these problems out these are all good problems that come up on the DAT every single one of them:
