Question

If genes A and B are linked, how would you figure out what would be the expected percentages of nonrecombinant and recombinant progeny in a test cross of AaBb heterozygotes?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

To determine the expected percentages of nonrecombinant and recombinant progeny in a test cross of AaBb heterozygotes when genes A and B are linked, you first need to understand the concept of genetic linkage and recombination. Genetic linkage refers to the tendency of genes that are physically close on the same chromosome to be inherited together more often than not. Recombination refers to the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which can lead to the creation of new combinations of alleles.
