A test cross between a plant of genotype PpSs and the tester white plant with wrinkled seed coat (ppss) gives the following numbers of progeny in four phenotypic types. 14:87:83:16 (purple flower + smooth seed coat: purple flower + wrinkled seed coat: white flower + smooth seed coat: white flower + wrinkled seed coat). a.  What is the expected ratio of progeny phenotypes assuming independent assortment of alleles?   b.  Explain how ratios of progeny show that the two genes are linked.    c.  How many map units separate the purple and smooth genes? Show your calculations.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
