- Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart?

- . In common wheat, Triticum aestivum, kernel color is determined by multiply duplicated genes, each with an Rand an r allele. Any number of R alleles will give red, anda complete lack of R alleles will give the white phenotype.In one cross between a red pure line and a white pureline, the F2 was 6463 red and 641 white.a. How many R genes are segregating in this system?b. Show the genotypes of the parents, the F1, and the F2.c. Different F2 plants are backcrossed with the whiteparent.
