The resemblance of fossil of an extinct mammal that lived in the Andes with present day mammals that live in South American jungles or present day mammals that live high in Asian mountains. Introduction: Gondwana was a supercontinent about 250 million years ago and this continent contained subcontinents: South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, the Arabian Peninsula and Indian subcontinent. The Asian and South American continents were slowly split apart 65 million years ago during the age of the dinosaurs and the continents of Africa and South America drift apart 120 million years ago.

Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible. Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
