• In a particular plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes. Leaves of the wild-type plant are red. A recessive mutation in this gene causes white leaves. Wild-type leaves are pointed and a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth. The following cross was performed: Heterozygous red, pointed 43 white, smooth 42 red, pointed 8 white, pointed red, smooth Homozygous white, smooth RESULTS: What is the recombination frequency between the gene for leaf color and the gene for leaf shape?

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.
