Question

Q9: For Punnet’s experiment (Fig. 5.2 on p117), if we want to measure the RF between the gene that determines the color of the flower and the gene that determines the shape of the pollen, what mating should we set up? (Please write down the genotypes of the two strains you are going to use).

Explanation / Answer

In this parent 1 is PPAA

parent second ppaa

P = purple flower

p= red flower

A = long pollen

a= round pollen

these results gives the idea that genes for Pollen shape and flower colour are linked genes.

linked genes means both jeans are present on the same chromosome that is why they cannot assort independently.

the transfers and to offsprings in the link form.

the Recombinant offsprings are produced due to the recombination process that occurred in the meiosis first step of cell division.

Here the ratio deviates from mendel's dihybrid cross ratio because genes are linked that is why they didn't shown independent assortment phenomenon.

Linkage can be calculated by putting values and the formula of linkage.

Linkage = recombinant/ total offsprings

linkage is inversly proportional to the recombination.
