2. In corn the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) and rust resistance (alleles R and r)are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of a routine mating checkexperiment, a breeder got the following results upon crossing T/t:R/r with a doublerecessive strain (t/t/r):Number of progenygenotypeT/t; R/rt/t; r/rT/t; r/rt/t; R/rIn addition to these data she noted that the cobs contain only about 50% ofthe expected kernels. Note that in corn, each kernel is the result of onemating or can be considered one progeny. Hence 50% of the matings arenot producing viable offspring.a. Based on the location of these genes on separate chromosomes what is the9810435expected result?b. Suggest a hypothesis of a genetic process that could be used to explain thepotential karyotype of one of these parents.c. What are the actual genotypes of the parents?d. Draw a diagram (hand drawn diagrams are fine just scan the image and insert itinto your exam as picture) showing the arrangement of the alleles on theparental chromosomes.e. Based on your hypothesis from part b, reassign genotypes to the progenyclasses. Enter your new genotypes into the table above as an additional column.f. If the karyotype was done on the progeny what unusual feature would beobserved?
