Answer #1

The term linkage has 2 meanings

1 . On a same chromosome  two or more gene where locate.

2.Genes that are close together tend to be transmitted as a unit.

Linkage

Genes nearby on the same chromosome tend to stay together during the formatioin of gametes.

According tithe Mendel conclusion about the linkage that the probability of a gamete will receive a allel is about 50 %.That in the above mentioned case female have 50 % chances of getting these genes in the linkage and thereby gamete also.

In a breeding experiment, the male parent is known to have either two dominant genes (symbolized by AA) or one dominant and one recessive (Aa). These two cases are equally likely. The female parent is known to have two recessive genes (aa). Since the offspring gets one gene from each parent, it will be either Aa or aa. [If the male parent is Aa, it is equally likely for the offspring to get A or a from him] a. If...

Unicorn abilities are determined by two linked genes, the ability to have a rainbow coat (R) is dominant to a white coat (r) and the ability to fly (F) is dominant to the lack (f). If these genes are linked by 15 map units what would be the number of expected offspring of a heterozygous flying rainbow unicorn with a homozygous white non-flying male if we had 300 offspring. Reproduce the following table in your answer and fill out completely....

Dominant alleles at two different loci affect the tail of mice. These genes are linked and both are lethal in the embryo when homozygous. One of the tail genes is called brachyury (T), and these mice have short tails. A third gene, histocompatibility-2 (H-2), is linked to the tail genes and is concerned with tissue transplantation. Mice that are H-2/+ will accept tissue grafts, unlike +/+. A cross was carried out between male T H-2/ + + and female +...

Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due to size. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population, while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population. Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutations in one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene is large. 1. State the probability that there are more than two people with mutations total between...
