Question
In a certain plant, blue flowers are dominant to yellow flowers, and short-stalked plants are dominant to long-stalked plants.
Consider that a blue-flowered plant with a short stalk is crossed with a yellow-flowered plant that has a long stalk. The results of this cross are as follows:
How many recombinant offspring were produced? Enter only a number/numeral in the box.
What is the recombination frequency between the flower color gene and the stalk length gene? % Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. one decimal place). Enter only a number/numeral in the box.
Are these genes linked? Enter yes or no.
Offspring appearance: Number of offspring: Blue flowers, short stalk 85 Blue flowers, long stalk 376 Yellow flowers, short stalk 392 Yellow flowers, long stalk 77Explanation / Answer
Ans- the recombinant will be blue colour with short stalk and yellow colour with long stalk so here we get 162 recombinant out of 930 offsprings.
The recombination frequency will be 17.41%.
No this is very low recombination frequency hence they aren't linked.
