In a test cross between a dihybrid exhibiting two dominant phenotypes (AaBb) and a double homozygous recessive (aabb), we obtain progeny that shows a higher ratio of phenotypes that combine a dominant phenotype for one character and the recessive for the other (e.g. A_bb), and viceversa. What is the likely explanation ? Group of answer choices the alleles in the heterozygous parent are in coupling configuration. double crossovers likely occurred between the A and B loci. the alleles in the...

In a typical Mendelian cross (i.e. independent assortment of the genes is expected) between two heterozygous plants (Rr x Rr) We obtain the following results. RR=360, Rr=480 and rr= 160 Draw your own table, calculate your allele frequencies, genotype frequencies (observed and expected) and use your observed and expected counts to find X2. What will be the degree of freedom? Do we accept or reject the null hypothesis of HWE?

The two genes f and g, code for body size and aggressiveness, respectively. The F allele is dominant over f, and codes for a larger body size. The G allele is dominant over g, and codes for more aggressive ants. You perform a Mendelian dihybrid cross (NOT a test cross) on these traits. If there is no recombination between these genes (recombination frequency = 0.00), what ratio should you see phenotypes in in the offspring? (note that the parent generation...

Red, Blue and Green are three genes found on the same chromosome. Each gene has two alleles: R or r, B and b, and G and g, respectively. The somatic cells and gametes of a person that is heterozygous for the alleles of all three genes are studied to understand the relationships between the three genes. It is found that the dominant alleles for Red and Green is on the person’s paternal chromosome, but the dominant allele for Blue is...
