Knowing that the Curly leaf (Cy) is a dominant gene on chromosome 6, as it is useful in tracking other genes using trisomics for chromosome 6. Assume a Cy Cy cy plant used as a pollen parent where disomic pollen does not function crossed to a Cy cy cy female where disomic eggs do function. A) What ratio would be predicted in the progeny of this cross? B) What if the reciprocal cross was made?
