phenotypic ratio 20.4

Question 1

linked genes are inherited as a …. unit
single
double

Answer 1

single

Question 2

independent assortment occurs after…

Answer 2

the genes are separated bye chiasmata

Question 3

why the expected ratio will not be produced in offspring?

Answer 3

linked genes can’t undergo normal random shuffling

Question 4

what happens if separation occurs between linked genes?

Answer 4

can lead to recombinant offspring

Question 5

what is recombinant offspring?

Answer 5

they have different combination of alleles than either parent

Question 6

what is autosomal linkage?

Answer 6

the more offspring will have the same genotype and phenotype as their parents unless crossing over has occured which leads to chiamsta

Question 7

a measure of the number of crossing over that Helen’s at meiosis is called…

Answer 7

recombination frequency

Question 8

recombination frequency formula

Answer 8

number of recombination offspring/tota number of offspring

Question 9

if >50%

if <50%

Answer 9

.there is no linkage and the genes are on separate chromosomes
.there is gene linkage and the random of independent assortment has been hindered.
