(D) B and C are correct. (E) All of the above 2. (6 points) Two diploid strawberry plants were thought to be homozygous for two genes controlling fruit flavor (high vs. low quality) and color (orange vs. yellow): one, high quality and orange; and the other, low quality and yellow. In order to determine the patterns of their inheritance, these two plants were cross fertilized and the F1 was self-crossed, resulting in the following F2 progeny: 225 high quality, orange; 80 high quality, yellow, 35 low quality, orange and 80 low quality, yellow.

Explanation / Answer

11. The answer is C. These two genes are linked, with a genetic distance of 2 cM.

If the genes are assorted indepently, the double recessieve proprotion will be 1/16 = app. 6%, so the first option is wrong.

The Distance between genes = Total number of recombinants/Total number of progeny X 100.
The distance between genes = % of recombination. If Distance is 1 cM, the % of recombination = 1%, as recombinant category contains two genotyeps, the proportion of each genotype = 1/2 = 0.5%, so, this option B also wrong.

The Distance between genes = Total number of recombinants/Total number of progeny X 100.
The distance between genes = % of recombination. If Distance is 2 cM, the % of recombination = 2%, as recombinant category contains two genotyeps, the proportion of each genotype = 2/2 = 1%, so, this option C is correct.

12. The answer is D. B and C.

According to chegg guidelines we have to answer one question at a time.So, post the rest as seperate questions then I can help you.
