Problem 1 In a test cross of F? individuals with homozygous recessive individuals, the following F? phenotypes were obtained: ab? 302 a?b? 45 a?b 312 ab 39 a) Are the genes linked? How do you know this? b) Class the F? groups. c) What is the expected number in the parental and recombinant classes if we assume no linkage?

Step 1
To determine if the genes are linked, we need to compare the observed phenotypes in the F2 generation with the expected phenotypes if the genes were not linked. If the observed phenotypes match the expected phenotypes, then the genes are not linked. If the Show more…

Two genes 'A'and 'BA' are linked. In a dihybrid cross involving these two genes, the $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ heterozygote is crossed with homozygous recessive parental type (aa bb). What would be the ratio of offspring in the next generation? (a) $1: 1: 1: 1$ (b) $9: 3: 3: 1$ (c) $3: 1$ (d) $1: 1$
Both parents are homozygous for H substance gene, and both have type AB blood (I^A I^B HH). What will be the phenotypic ratio of their children? A) 3/4 A: 1/4 AB B) 1/4 A: 2/4 AB: 1/4 B C) 9/16 A: 3/16 AB: 3/16 B: 1/16 O D) 3/16 A: 6/16 AB: 3/16 B: 4/16 O

A. If the test cross includes A b/A b x a B/a B, what will be the genotype of the F1? B. What gametes will the F1 produce and in what proportions? C. If the F1 is testcrossed with a doubly homozygous recessive, what will be the proportions and genotypes of the offspring? D. Are F1 genes in coupling or repulsion?
