Question

In an experiment to detect linkage of genes there are four possible types of offspring. According to genetic theory, these four types have probabilities p/2, (1-p)/2, (1-p)/2, p/2 where p is an unknown parameter called the recombination fraction. In n=100 independent repetitions, the following frequencies were observed. offspring type: 1; 2; 3; 4 Obs. Frequencies: 20; 29; 36; 15 Give 50% and 10% likelihood intervals for p According to the model if the genes are not linked p=1/2. Evidence against p=1/2 means genes are linked. Is it plausible that the genes are linked?

Explanation / Answer

yes it is possible .. as according to the ratio by solving p parameter .. we can get a conclusion that these are linked with each other ...
