Question

Consider a hypothetical plant. There are two genes that dictate how the flower will smell. These two genes are located ON THE SAME CHROMOSOME. Gene B has two alleles: The dominant allele (B) encodes for “banana” smell. The recessive allele (b) encodes for “strawberry” smell. The other gene that influences smell (gene C) also has two alleles. The dominant allele (C) encodes for “chocolate” smell, and the recessive allele (c) encodes for “vanilla” smell. Now, consider a cross. The first individual is homozygous for both of the recessive alleles. The second individual has a chromosome with “B” and “C” alleles, and a chromosome with “b” and “c” alleles. Assume that crossing over DOES OCCUR in between genes B and C. Will there be any offspring that smell like chocolate strawberries?
